Does anyone know if replacing the stock shocks will void warentee? This is what the person at my local Kragen said. And that Rancho does not make shocks for an 05 ST... (Can someone give me the part numbers for RSX for front and rears?) Thanks.

Does anyone make a seat cover that is 2 pieces; one for the seat and one for the head rest? I have seen tons of one-piece covers, but want to be able to adjust my headrests without having to fight the fabric of the one-pieces.

I am interested in the Euro taillights. If you don't mind me asking, why are you getting rid of this stuff?

Dumb question 2... Softer? Its all greek to an ex-stock parts person who got a C in autoshop.

Probably a question asked over and over... For a semi stock ( Not rasied or lowered; no mods to engine at all, have EE sway bar) 05 ST XLT that will not be doing much off-roading, which would people reccomend? Just from reading the 9000s look like overkill, but since I am used to...

I am in South OC. I see STs all the time, and wonder as well. We should have a So Cal meet since it seems there are so many of us.

Dan, The PlastX fixed the scratch, so I am all fixed up. (It was a very small and shallow scratch.) I'd still their advice for deeper ones for future reference though. (A dog and 4-year old are deffinately going to do some damage over time...)

I am not so concerned about company mistmatch as style. I can't see any real distinctive styling for one or the other, but have not seen either up close to be sure. I'd hate to get them and realize that its preety obvious that they are from different companies. (Again, its the "New...

K&N Air Filter (or one of the others since the jury is still out on the best.) Advance Top Manik Front Waag Rear Karr Alarm (getting rid of stock one.) Ford Bed Divider Euro-style rear lights Running boards (Probably Manik) Seat Covers (No idea yet) Lighter powered FM...

Merguiar's PlastX worked like a charm. Thanks Scott.

I really like the Manik Front, but they do not make a rear, so I am thinking of getting the Waag one. Has anyone done this? How do they look? Is there something that looks claser the the Manik out there? Thanks.

Volant? I've heard the name, but there are not reviews on it. I like that it looks very close to stock. Hows it compare to the others? Price range? Thanks.

I have not heard of them. I am leaning toward these two since so many people seem happy with theirs. (I am a bit of a sheep here because I know NOTHING about cars except how to call AAA.)

I'll give those a try. (I still have a few 8-tracks floating around for nostolgia.)

Real simple question... Which is better for a 2005? Don't really care about chrome or other "bing" just performance and how it will affect the engine over time. (Noting people's concerns with K&N's letting more dirt in.)
