    Maybe it won't work from a phone? If I click the little picture icon it pulls up a box to upload from my phone gallery but there's no button to hit upload. Like it's a glitch. I especially wanted to post my alignment pics so you guys could see how they look

    Ha! I've said before: the Mirage's clutch made my Firefly 1.0 (Metro) clutch feel like driving a dump truck by comparison.

    I upload photos from my phone and I too don't care for the way the forum software handles the process.

    I gave up and used photo bucket. I added pics to the rear alignment thread. One for each car.

    The 2 mirage's have a protector.



    The mirage's amazing fuel economy will help offset the Tundras amazingly poor fuel economy. It is a beast though

    Here is where I mounted my scangauge E.
    It works well there and the only thing it covers is that little key hole you would only use if your fob battery dies. I used scotch 3x extreme velcro lock. The stuff is amazing and I can easily take gauge off to access that hole.

    I used the same stuff in my last car for the ecometer and it stayed put for 8yrs!!



    Interior of the wine red. Identical to my black.

    I picked up the best set of rubber floor mats from wally world and they had a ton of cutting options I was able to make very nice fitting rubber mats that will hold plenty of slop.

    I noticed the title was modified to reflect the purchase. Thanks guys! Haha

    So I got a chance to get under the car and apply the fluid film rust preventer. This car looks to utilize zero rust proofing from the factory. So I highly recommend doing something yourself.

    I used almost a quart of FF in the paint sprayer and got all the metal besides the exhaust.

    I recommend this stuff. If it's good enough for the navy, DOD, nasa, and others it's good enough for me.
