I am going to have my transmission fluid changed at 30k, possibly get it analyzed and see what I want to do from there.
I know you trust the service you get but a suggestion to have them completely clean the pan and also to wipe the valve body and other accessible areas when the pan is off. This is seldom done from service shops.
It is also a great investment to get your oil sampled to have a record of what was actually found in your oil. This way should anything happen to your transmission it is a strong piece of information to support your claim to do above the service recommendation of the OE.
If you do get the oil analyzed please post your results!
Got windows tinted and banner done today. Banner or brow is an adjustment for me as I've never done it on previous vehicles. Got a quote on ppf while there. 2 versions basically from this place.
1. Full hood, front bumper and fenders - $1250
2. Front bumper, hood up 18" from bottom, fenders would be straight line across from hood. Basically fenders would be to back of headlights. $1000
So id save $250 by not doing complete hood.

On my Mazda I did it drove for one summer and removed it because it obstructed the natural view which was part of the reason for a few of our trips. But on other vehicles that are more or less street freaks I did it. The funny thing is you will get use to it but in the event that you need to have the windshield replaced and before the tint is re applied you will likely drive a few days without it. My guess is you won't have it reinstalled.
You might also have your sunroof tinted 2% as well. It will help reduce the heat inside the passenger compartment. I realize that it is already tinted glass. The roof gets extremely hot and there is very little insulation between the head liner and the roof unless you remove the headliner and insulate it. I would guess it makes about a 40+ degree difference when you insulate based on what I did checking before and after ai did that installation.
