I bought front and rear mud flaps fo rthe CLubman, got them put on today, like 'em so far, now if it will ever rain, I mught get to try them out.

Also bout the NM engine torque bushing motor mount. Went in in about 10 minutes. The hardest thing was finding a 16mm socket. Seems Mr Craftsmen doesn't approve, though a 5/8 works fine. Will try it out in a few. hoping for a difference I can feel.

Also got the OEM grocery bag holders that screw onto the back of the rear seats. Like them so far, the really keep things in place.

Tyler got a cargo cover organizer and an arm rest. He really liked the arm rest on the way back to RI he said. We just got the organizer, I'll ship that to him soon.

I put in my grocery bag holder, but you can only use it when the top is up and the trunk is expanded! Aargghh!

Clear coated my tow hook so hopefully it wont turn pink... Would have been nice to powder coat, but I dont have an oven. It looks nice from the front, but my impatience in spray painting the back got runs. I figure if it fades, I'll just sand it down and repaint a new color to suit. Hoping I put it on tight enough that the random teen passing by wont be tempted to jack it. I used my dremel to cut out an opening in the cover, it turned out pretty nice.

Put in the chrome interior pieces, but wish they made pieces for the back seat speakers to match and for around the openometer. It's a lot of chrome, but is strangely appealing!

So many options!!!

I got the mudflaps too, but haven't gotten them installed yet.  Had an accident while putting in the torque arm inserts.  Unlike Dale, had no problem finding the Craftsman 16 mm socket and torque wrench, but for some reason when I was putting car on stands, I had a problem with the block on the passenger side wanting to pop out.  then when dropping the car back to the ground, I realized I hadn't pulled the stands far enough away from car.  got a nasty little tear on the underside of my Aero kit.  all patched up now.  just have to sand it back down and color it black.  Good as new.  Can now get back to putting the mudflaps on.  Also got the tow hook installed, but now want to go back and do what Kevin did with the dremel.  That looks awesome!  BTW, thank you Kevin for the antenna, it fits great and looks awesome!!!!  Glad you were able to find one that fit your car better.
