    Lalo, how are you able to tell the color of the CVT fluid? are you just looking at the dipstick?

    the car holds over 7L if you only replaced 4 of 7 im sure the new fluid probably already looks pretty dark.

    Did you not also replace either of the two CVT filters in the car or clean the magnets?

    I have a video on my youtube channel linked below if you want to learn how to replace the filters and filud yourself.

    I added some LED light strips to make the car less gloomy at night. The lights can be turned on or off, colors can be changed, and the brightness can be adjusted.

    My floor looks better if people can't see it!

    What did I do to my Mirage today?

    Swore at it.

    When I noticed a piece of it has literally fallen apart due to rust!

    That's the licence plate light... one of them, anyway. The other light is dangling behind the bumper cover.

    Although I have no idea if the planned June/July delivery date for my next Space Star is realistic (with all the uncertainties in the world, I guess it is, well, highly uncertain), I e-mailed my dealer that I regretted not choosing the front spoiler, side skirts and rear skirts option, called the "Sports Pack 1" option.

    There's also the"Sports Pack 2" that adds a red grill and B-style carbon-look decoration, but since my model is actually red, I think I'll like the original grill better.

    My dealer just added it to the order.

    It never hurts to ask!

    I get stuff frequently, just by asking. I once got a couple free vacation days for myself and the guys in my group, just because I asked. The other guys told me I'd be wasting my time. They were very happy I asked!

    My wife is like a sheep, always following, never asking. The other day we were told the wait to sit in a local restaurant was 45 minutes (because we had 5 in our party, one more than most tables would hold). I asked the lady, "could we sit there?" Pointing to a 4 person table that was open, "because a couple people in our party are skinny and we can easily squeeze in there." She said, "sure!" Instead of waiting 45 minutes, we waited 2 minutes.

    I do that stuff all the time. Get rejected a lot. But get what I ask for a lot too. The wife would just sit and wait 45 minutes and never bat an eye at it. And, she doesn't like me to ask any questions. But I'm just that type ... I ask questions. It's not hurt me yet. If I didn't ask the wife the same question over and over and over, we wouldn't have our sons!

    vintzend - Good on you!

    Tell them to throw in some stroopwafels too while they're at it.

    I haven't seen one that bad. Close but not turned to dust yet. I assume this is a combination of poor design and poor metal.
    They redesigned the lights so they snap into the bumper cover on the 2017's.

    I can relate to being a sheep, I guess... I naively thought a signed sale contract would be considered final... but not when there's more money to be made I guess

    Good idea, the only thing beating a stroopwafel, will be a tompouce, however!
