After six years of California heat, I think you might be due Jay.

Make sure you check and replace the vent tube if its gone brittle on you, they seem to age faster than the batteries.

I asked the Paddy-Wagon if I can leave work early today, he said "Honk!", so I'm assuming that's a yes....or its just that I was pressing the lock button on the fob when I posed the question.

Dropped mine off at the dealer. No boost in the SS makes me a non-happy camper.

Jay, you put the black lead on the frame, right? I also carry a booster, but if you put the black lead on what looks like a neg post under the hood, you're gonna need another PS fuse. Disregard if you are already saavy to this.

I think for a temporary "see how you like it" basis it okay, but for something permanent, I'd suggest stripping and either powdercoating or painting. I've got my mirrors plastidipped and they look great, but my experience covering a larger area has yielded pretty poor results.
