significantly less than the FVD units than ... thank you. Did you do the work yourself?

My passenger side cat is gone and I'll be replacing. My research has lead me to the following from FVD (I'm told M&M manufacture these):

Does anyone have any experience with exhaust components purchased through PVD? What replacement Cats have others used/liked?

Responding to the post above, I had my spin-on adapter installed at Chris's German Auto Service in Bellevue WA.

thanks ... I'll check-out met detail ...

yeah, I just took the lazy way and had it installed at the shop ...

Well it's been a couple of months and I can report the Wolfgang products have held up fantastically. I just did a quick dust and re-touch on the dash ... simple.

I just finished my first oil service and had the LN Spin-on Oil Filter Adapter and Win/NAPA Gold synthetic filter installed. I stayed with OEM oil (MobilOne 0-40).

I was delighted to hear there weren't and "nasties" in my old filter.

I had the work done at Chris's German Auto in Bellevue. They seemed great to work with; so willing to answer questions and just spend time discussing points of interest on performance improvements and alike.

I ordered the adapter from LN and the Filters (XP) from Amazon; I'll update the string once installed ... planning to do the work in a couple of weeks.

thanks, I'll try the XP

I just purchased the spin on adaptor, what are you using for a filter?

thank you!

I've taken an updated picture of the roll protection where I've lost the cover.

awesome, thank you ... i'll get a better pick with top down and repost.

understand these are a bit dark, If you would like better shots I can get more light on the subject and resubmit ... thanks again.

I'm attaching pictures of the phone mount and the roll protection cover. To Richard's point, I happy with the leatherette cover, that's the material I have on the driver side anyway.

thanks Loren, I'll take some pictures this weekend and post

I have a 02C4 Cab. The car has the phone mount option with a piece that is attached on the passenger side of the tray/CD holder. It makes a few too many squeaks and rattles and I'd like to remove and replace with whatever the stock cover plate that would go in that area instead.

I also need to replace a the passenger side cover that goes in the rear deck to cover the rollover protection. I must have gotten it loose somehow and it blew off on the road and i can't find. Would anyone have a part number for that as well?

thank you, I'll look for a DAS branded solution then. I'll let you know what I find.

Does anyone know where I might find one of these roll bars new/kit. I did a quick search using the part numbers and could not locate. I track enough now that I'd like to have the mounts for a harness and chassis stiffening that comes with the bar ... and oh-yeah maybe a bit more protection if I roll.

thanks for anyone guidance.

I watched the video ... a lot of good techniques regardless of the product manufacturer ... now I want a steamer ...

I did try Wolfgang's "Leather Care Cleaner" and "Cockpit Trim Sealant;" and I got incredible results. I've completed the dash, door panels and rear seats so far. The cleaner is easy to use and has a really pleasant smell. I used the soft brush technique I saw in the video Jason referenced above on the rear seats. I followed up with the cock pit trim and I was amazed. The surfaces look new, dry and uniform across all surfaces. I'll need to see how the surface treatments hold up over time.

In comparing with Lexol's cleaner and leather treatment I felt the Wolfgang system is easier to use, provided a deeper clean and left the surfaces looking drier, more showroom like, in my side by side comparison to Lexol. I've always used Lexol and it's proved to be a good choice over time, if the Wolfgang product holds up then I'll make a switch.

I still want to try some of the other recommendations, especially the 303 series as the cost seems much lower than Wolfgang for like items in general.

a couple good choices then it looks like ... i also got a recommendation for a set of Wolfgang products for use on both leather and synthetic materials. I think I'll try a few of them and report back. Thanks everyone

Thank you, I'll try it

I'm looking for recommendations on products to clean and protect the non-leather surfaces of the interior. I'm not really a fan of Armorall but in fairness, I haven't used their products in the past 10 years.

I use Lexol Cleaner and Conditioner on the leather and I'm reasonably happy with the results. Any recommendations on detailing the leather are welcome as well.

going to do my first oil change on my 02 C4 Cab next week. I'm so glad to see this diy so much less intimidating now. I'm planning to install the LN Engineering Spin-on filter adapter. is anyone else using the LN Spin-on Filter adapter? If so, how has it performed for you/
