With the cold weather we have been having the hood lift struts hadn’t been working too good so I went down to NAPA today and picked up a set and threw them on, usually I go with Motorcraft parts but these were made in the USA and didn’t have to wait for them.

You definitely need 2 lol, I’d love to find a DARE license plate frame for the rear plate but haven’t had any luck

The Vic is still in the bodyshop should get it back by the middle of this week. I picked up a few things for the Vic tho picked up that missing silicone hose going to try cleaning it up a lil bit more but it goes underneath so you won’t really see it that’s why it’s a lil more discolored then the other hoses. Lastly I picked up a secure idle many police cars have that with one of those Tremco shift interlocks or just one or the other, with the secure idle you press a button then can remove key from the car without shutting it off which is perfect for warming it up on cold days or running in the store quick if you try moving it without the key when you push the brake pedal to shit it, it will immediately die, to put they key back in you press the button and put the key back in and your on your way.

I’ve seen the Tremco units at auction, but didn’t need 100 of them. Where did you find this gizmo?
