                        Oh that's sketchy, but the swap does appear to be done correctly. I'm curious what's stamped on the cowl.

                        It is an import, so I doubt autocheck or carfax would have anything on it.

                          I thought those were usually mounted on the front of the roof above the windshield? Or was that the radio antenna?

                              Have you guys ever used simple green on your wheels? It works great for me. Plus, its super cheap.

                                I haven't tried the Griot's so I'm not sure how it compares, though Sonax makes a regular strength and a heavy duty - "Full Effect" and "PLUS" respectively.

                                I use the Full Effect when I've done a fair job of keeping up with cleaning my daily's wheels, and I use it religiously on my Ronals. With the PLUS I was able to remove just about all of some seriously caked on brake dust which was more or less baked into my Azevs.
