Pittbull · June 22nd, 2010, 12:33 AM

Awesome. I hate shit that doesn't come with instructions

sudbury33 · June 22nd, 2010, 12:36 AM

Thanks buddy!

ibwas gunna sell the louvers and get the aluminum ones but I decided to keep em and just c if I ever find a good deal on em

sudbury33 · June 22nd, 2010, 01:02 AM

I was actually referring to the side window louvers. I havent really seen a good picture of them, but they're nice on your car

Pittbull · June 22nd, 2010, 01:07 AM

OOHH my bad ha. Yea I didn't like that gay little window, so I picked those up. Wasn't sure how they'd look but they flow good with the body and work with the rear louvers too

I just installed the MGW a few weeks ago on my T45.
The inner dust boot was backordered and just arrived yesterday.
I'll be working on that tonight.

1. Are you going to flush/fill the tranny fluid?
If so, it's much easier to fill from the top while the shifter is off.

2. When taking the old shifter off, the instructions tell you to rock the shifter back and forth. I put tons of pressure on mine and it just wouldn't break free. I was afraid of breaking something.
I found that putting the shift arm and handle back on and pulling up fairly hard while rocking the shifter left-right-left worked much easier.
Just be careful, when the old RTV lets go, the shifter may fly up pretty quick.

3. Did you get the $8 inner dust boot? I put it on last night and the noise from under the car actually got louder. I called MGW today and they gave me some good tips. I had it on the wrong way (sideways). I'm going to redo it tonight and will try to get some pics to post.

4. The shifter is pretty stiff at first, but has loosened up over the last few weeks.

5. I got the composite race knob with the silver trim and pony logo. It looks and feels really good.

Good luck!

Looks badass bro, amazing what a set of rims do!! I am on the market for those same rims in black, or steeda Pentars in black.. Photoshopped both, and i am leaning towards the steedas only because they fit big brake kits. Who knows though.

Congrats on the rims boss!

Like how you changed up the sig already!!
