Cleaned engine caused problems?

So I was out cleaning the car today... after removing all my old wax from the paints.. (good ole 1/4 dawn, 3/4 water mix), I saw that there was alot of dirt and grime under the hood.. so i figured that spraying alittle water on the engine wouldn't hurt.. and it would remove most of this dirt and gri...

Re: How To Change: Map lights

Hey, it's pretty easy.. Just take a flat head screw driver and pry it up down towards you on the sides.. yes, the entire thing.. not just the clear stuff. Once you've got it out, it should be hanging by a few cables... flip the unit over, and you should see some of the clear plastic sticking through...

Scuff plates?

Anyone know where i could get aluminum scuff plates? the previous owner of my mx-3 tore mine up.... the plastic is pretty much ripped to shreds.. I figure aluminum would last longer, and wouldn't scuff as easy.. plus it would look better :)

thanks guys! -Chris
