I've only had them for a few hundred miles, but so far so good. I know I have to stay on top of it, though - rinse regularly and keep 'em waxed.

I thought about a scan gauge however when you wear glasses (bifocals) it can be difficult to read on a scan. With a gauge it's very easy to see on a scan of the gauges what is going on with the engine.

Yeah it would, but this takes up more space. LOL Plus it looks cooler than one Scan Gauge

Jiminni if you would ever post a picture of your setup we could see what your talking about. Both of us got our setup from Custom Mini Shop however they are both extremely different.

Really like that grille / bumper treatment. Not seen anything like that before and I think it is kool. Adds an additional Germanic (Audi) feel to the front. Nice job!
