  1. Yeah, that is a bit much. Let us know how you make out!
  2. Since all the accents on my Journey are black (and far to expensive to go down the chrome road) i'm going with these black powder coat ones. added benefit of when they start to rust in a few years I can just spray paint them. Should look good with the Mango Tango.
  3. I couldn't find anything either. I ended up with semi-custom covers for the front (really just generic ones that fit the style of seat) and for the back I just ended up going with a flat cover since I always have two car seats in the back and the dog just sits in the middle of them it serves the purpose. I never have them folded flat or even one side down. I did find Katzkin after but they are $2000 for the 2 row Journey... a bit out of wack for me.
  4. I have a BB Torch 9800 and I do not have this issue. Our IT Security policy sets the max time out to 30 min and I have my timeout to 2 min for the password. I can make and receive calls just fine with the BB locked. I suspect your problem is related to the "Allow phone calls while locked" option. Your BB administrator (if you use a corporate BES) may have it locked down so that you cannot make phone calls while the phone is locked. We have our setup to allow phone calls while it is locked (I'm the Network Manager after all ). Under your security setting see if you can enable the option to "Allow phone calls while locked" DISCLAIMER: If you lose your phone and have this options enabled, someone will still be able to rack up the bill LOL Fred
  5. I like that, a lot. I wanted to do an offset stripe down the hood and the length of the Journey, but the wife wouldn't buy into that... being a 'family' car and all I think my 10 month old twins would appreciate it That being said, I finally got my vinyl in a few days ago to do the stripe down the bottom of the door like the picture above. I have the measurements all done and just need to do a few test cuts since its my first time working with car vinyl. Since the weather has been so terrible here (fog and rain all summer) I really haven't had a chance to so much as wax it since I got it 3 weeks ago
  6. Looks like its coming... This website talks about it for the Charger, but it should work on any Chrysler/Dodge 4.3 uConnect.
  7. Our laws here are worse than that, on the front you are not allowed any tint whatsoever but the back windows can be completely painted. In the city where I live, lots of people have their windows tinted. Some do lighter up front than in the back but just as many do 20% all around and never get pulled over. I had 20% on my G6 for 4 years and never had a problem with it. However, if you venture outside the city to the smaller towns (where the cops have a lot more time on their hands) you'll get pulled over and told to remove it.
  8. So, didnt really get the answer I was expecting... the shop manager came out and checked the bumper over and didnt see any missing clips or anything missing at all. He did admit that the bumper was dropped amd he all but came out and said that all the journeys are like it and its a design issue. Until chrysler comes out with a proper fix, he wont do anything because forcing the bumper into a position it wasnt meant to be in could cause it to break over time. Then it would be $$ out of his pocket to fix it. I didn't press the issue because on mine you really can't notice it unless you go looking for it (as I did). We discussed it and agreed that it would be on file that I came in about the issue and if something happens down the road and the bumper breaks they'll cover it. My main worry was is I cam in 6 months later with a cracked bumper they would just say i backed into something. Anyway, unless it gets worst I wont be bothering with it.
  9. It seems all you can buy for the 2011 journey is semi-custom covers, you cant get anything that is a real good fit so I just bought the cheap all black covers at Canadian Tire. They actually fit pretty well but we're boring. Using vinyl tshirt material I added the new Dodge logo. Not too shabby... I'll get a pick of them installed when it stops raining.
  10. Yeah, mine is the same way. got a call for their customer service today and I mentioned it, they want me to bring it in first thing tomorrow morning to have a quick look before they book a full appotiment and have me drop it off. Will be interesting to see what they say.
  11. Oh, BTW... I ended up buying the pre-cut front pieces on eBay and I'll apply them myself. They were $25.00 including shipping to Canada where the local shop wanted $80 + tax. Their price for the wind vent shades and hood deflector were much more reasonable, $75 + tax each including installation so I have an appt for Friday to have them installed.
  12. I found a website where you can order the pre-cut pieces (can't find it right now) and they recommended 20% to match the factory deep tint. My Xterra was the same, 20% matched the factory tint. Like Derek said, 20% might not be exact but it will be the closest aftermarket stuff available. personally, having different tint on the front and back just looks terrible so I like to match it as close as possible.
  13. You could go to your local decal shop and see what it would look like, or order a sample on ebay like this one.
  14. That's my issue, no where here seems to carry a 16" and shipping from the US is crazy (especially being out on an island here) . Was talking to a guy in automotive at Costco today and he said they will have 17" rims in the fall for $40-$50 each so I'll be going that way.
  15. You can get the vinyl in mirror silver finish that would look like chrome but the site i use says its life is only 2 years outdoors. You can also get a carbon fiber looking vinyl... not sure if that would show up... might be subtle enough. If i had black i'd do orange stripes like attached.
