have you tried talking to the vendor to see if they can do anything for you?

"second hand" off a forum member, yet another if it's a good deal, it's a bad deal.

Currently in the process of getting cube aluminum, not taking any chances again.

Sorry to hear about your troubles.. That's freaking cold!

Just get aluminum trim... I hope that wouldn't shatter.
It's in the works, not tking any chances, sure it was just bad luck/bad product, but just not chancing it again.

wow!

I really hope you guys have electric engine heaters, to pre-heat the engine !! I'm using mine every day, and it's only -5c here!

It just feels terrible starting the car without pre-heat.

Cool

When I saw the term "Trim Warmers", I thought this was another thread about Tiger Woods!


Oh and BTW, it was cold here today too, it didn't get above 75 degrees here!!
