It's hard to get a good picture, the car is in the garage pointed at the shed which is 15 meters away. Without the reverse lights on you cant even see the shed, and if i reversed the back end outside the garage it would light up a lot more, a lot of light is being blocked by the garage doorway.

Awesome, i didnt know they came in orange. I now have an overwhelming urge to upgrade the turn signals... and brake lights if they are available in red.[B]CANYONEROOOOO *whipping in the distance*

2006 V6 Grande.
Remove old front springs and Tems shocks, replace with C59-296 and new Tems shocks from Partsouq.com
Remove old rear airbags and replace with new ones and put in 7mm spacers on ride height to get @ 20mm extra lift.
Will post lift heights after it has settled and alignment complete.
Took my time and still completed in a 1/2 day with instructions on forum.

Got home on Friday and my sunroof wouldn't shut :-( Click Click Click, I could tell it was stuck on the passenger side. Put a tarp over the roof rack to keep it dry from the rain on Friday night.
On Saturday, after reading scary posts on this forum about thousands of dollars, i could see no option but to start poking around. Poke poke, pull pull, unscrew unscrew - but there was only one thing for it - lower the whole roof lining - so I did, disconnected the battery (air bags) and started from the front to the rear.
The sunroof unit is held in place with brackets and bolts, i un did these and the 4 drain pipes (one on each corner) and lowered it on to the roof lining and slid it back through the rear door.
As I lowered it down, some coins dropped out - doh ! That will be the fuel kitty from the Simpson trip this year. My mate put coins in the little bag and a 2$ and a 10c coin must have sneaked out, eventually finding there way onto the rail.
I decided it to give it a thorough clean with truck wash (tracks were a but sandy and grimy) and careful aiming of the kararcher and let it dry. Then used lithium grease to re grease the tracks and reversed the whole process. Tested it and it was perfect, so remounted it up again and closed it - PERFECT!
Put roof lining back in, DVD player etc and it is just like a bought one !
VERY HAPPY ! Fortune saved, disaster averted !
Tips for next time: Clean your tools first (I got the roof a bit dirty cause of dirty hands from tools)

The cleaning continues with all air vents and piping given a good clean. Pulled most of it out of the car and washed the red dirt out. Also took the dash facia cover off and cleaned in there. Lavender oil on a clean aircon filter and some lavender in the ash tray and she smells sweet. Back bumper gets painted next week and then the for sale sign goes up.Dave
