I think it makes the molecules bind together a little closer and thus last longer! ;-)) J/K

do they sell prefrozen brake pad? or do you freeze them yourself
Did you use the built in computer to figure your average gas mileage or the good old calculator? Just curious because I thought you said you averaged 29 mpg?

These should work with the M.
You want those? WHY? Are you racing??? I think they would definitely DETRACT from the 300. Duals, signal mirrors, no lettering, tint etc. look great, but those gauges??

Glennbp - since I don't have stands can I come over and work on this at your place? It also requires a second set of hands to hoist this thing around while drilling holes, lowering the exhaust, etc. It would also be good to have a second opinion on what to do about this metal stop, AND when to pack it all back and boxes and ship it back because I can't lower my exhaust out of the way. lol

The struts and bearing would have cost me $625 yesterday with out it so, to date I am only $275 in the hole with 3.5 years to go.
Fastdriver, there are not a lot of places that you can put guages on this car. Some have put them in the cubby hole or ash tray area, but I consider these areas too low.
I wish to have a Temp guages for Oil and transmission, voltage, and oil pressure. (I like to know what the car is doing (or even thinking of doing), just haveing gas and generic gguages is a sin in this vehicle my old truck had four gauages at least. I hate idiot lights when a guage is called for. What I miss is the pod my T&C had that I put guages into.
Doc; maybe you can add it to the club site
Try this site:

They have pod guages that look very similar.

I found a place called Dashes Online www.dashesonline.com who sells a Sherwood kit which includes everything, and I mean everything, to replace the original 300M trim. Their kit includes all the regular trim peices such as around the shifter, radio, air vents, power windows, etc. But they also include the long piece that goes across the dash and the long pieces that go across the doors.
The guy who owns Dashes Online name is Will and he's extremely friendly and helpful. He sent me a sample sheet of all the trim selections including Rosewood, Burl, Carbon Fiber in real or simulated materials. They also have Brushed Aluminum, Gray Burl, Birds Eye, Villa Burl, Red Burl and Glossy Silver.
I now have two problems (one which I believe is solved) That one is that Sherwood doesn't have the 1999 300M shifter trim with their 25 piece trim kit, but they do have it with their smaller 15 piece trim kit. Will said he could add the trim from the 15 piece kit to the 25 piece kit for a minimal cost. It would certainly be less than if I went out and bought the 2000 shifter trim for $199.
My second problem is now that I see the brushed aluminum and glossy silver, I may just bag the wood altogether and choose one of those. Does anyone know where there's any photos of a 300M trim in brushed aluminum? What do you guys think it would look like with the dark gray interior?

"Is this real wood?
Real wood may be ideal for your dining room table but for a vehicle that is subjected to temperature changes, high and low humidity wood kits can crack and warp. Our kits are made from synthetic material that is designed not to fade, crack, peel or warp."
To follow up on my previous post, we were able to get the adapter to fit (1 1/4 to 2 inch) by cutting a notch in the adapter with a dremel bit. Cutting solid steel wasn't very fun, but all it cost us was time and one bit that I virtually melted. The instructions were pretty good, and everything fit like it was supposed to. We only had to drill 3 holes for bolts, but other than that it was just an assembly project. Next time you see glennbp ask him about his magic drill that cuts rectangular holes. lol!
Thanks again glenn.
the dash online site is flat, but it is real wood. ut you have to remove the long dash pieces and door pieces to install kit. Does anyone know of a moulded kit the covers the long dash pieces and is real wood? Joshua wood trim is real wood but therefore probably wont match my 2000 fake wood --they dont offer the long dash piece.
If I go with discount dash now I have to decide color---walnut or burl---I have agate interior--opinions?
