I guess new ones. It does not say new bolts on the service report. All I know is everything gasket related is new and the car is no longer leaking oil.

I finally had time to wash my car and it took me eight hours of work. Today is like the only rain free day before it rains again for the next couple of days. I put many layers of protection as well ofr the car.

Here is what I did.
-Clay bar
-Ultimate compound
-Ultimate Polish
-Gold Class Carnauba Wax
-Wheel Shine Gel
-Chrome Polish (For Wheels and Exhaust)
-PlastX the headlights, fog lights, and backup lights

Pictures can be found on first page of this thread

I know it is ridiculous. At least I did all I had to do to the car when I did. The fresh coat of wax along with the other things should protect the finish.

Buy seriously I wish I could just move to a state where its rarely gets rain such as Arizona or Nevada.

The car actually came with full tint. The tint you see on the rear windows was on the front. Not only was the tint illegal in NYC but I could barely see anything in the dark so they were removed.

Personally, I like the front windows with no tint. But thanks for the tip.

So I got the new supercharger and not only is the leak gone, the car accelerates better and does not struggle when you go WOT. Moreover, the car is quieter when driving. I also believe I have an upgraded plate since its not rubber as in my older supercharger and is all aluminium. Of course I love how the supercharger looks, it is really clean.

Here are some pictures.

Hey guys I am back after a break from the site. I am glad to be back and glad to share with you guys the car has been fully fixed with the only thing broken is the HUD which will be replaced hopefully later this month.


I have installed the new assembly and the bulbs I got. Did not get HID's since in NYC the cops are a pain in the ass and will pull you over for the most stupid ****.
Got some HID simulated Xenon fueled bulbs by Sylvania. They are way better than stock and can be as bright as 4200K.
