Well, the washer arm was a failure. The plugs are totally different from 97 to 98. I've heard there is a relay I can use to have "programmable" intermittent wipers.

I still haven't gotten the correct central locking pump yet to use with the flip key, need to do that.

Facelift taillights should be here soon, S4 exterior B pillars, and facelift foglights. I'm on the hunt for fog light grilles and surrounds now.

Went ahead and ordered everything I'll need to install my polished intake manifold, need to get it media blasted and finished off!

S4 B pillars installed. Kind of 50/50 on it.

Picked up a set of facelift taillights on ebay for $95 shipped. The seller said one of the mounts was cracked, but I didn't think it was as bad as it is (which still isn't horrible.)


The lens is cracked and the mount is a little out of wack. I'm going to see what I can do to straighten it out, hopefully it isn't terribly problematic.

Luckily the damage looks worse than it really is. You can just barely see the crack in the lens.

I still want to do some tweaking to get it to sit perfectly, but its pretty damn close. The only other issue is that the damaged light is missing the inner black trim piece that you see when the trunk is open. Not a big deal at all, but something to add to the to fix list.
