awesome. also has anyone had any problems with their passenger cup holder. mine is stuck either in the open or closed. and has to be forced in and out. not the center console, the passenger side.
I am with you on the passenger cup holder. Only had my GXP for 3 weeks and from day 1 that cup holder has given me fits. It pops out ok.Just dont expect it to go back in without some persuasion.
Its going in for new exterior door handles (all the crome started peeling), new door threshold chrome stickers (they started peeling up) and the performance kit. So I am going to add that to their list.

If you put your thumb on the front piece and with your index or middle finger, lightly pinch in on the small curved arm on the right side it will close with ease. it has become second nature for me to do it this way without thinking about it and have had no issues Since.

i don't really have access to a lift. so how hard is it to get to.
You need to get the front wheels off the ground to take the tension off the bar in order to losen it safely. Floor jack in the center of the cross bar under the engine will work. It's a tight fit for the first few pumps but it works.

ok. along with the whole squeaky thing. besides the sway bar bushings, could it possible be the strut mounts? or is that unreasonable at 23000 miles
I don't believe there is enough twisting movement between the strut spring and the rubber because of the natural tension in the full uncompressed state of the assembly. The main movement of the strut is up and down with minimal twist once it is in place.

From what I have heard, haven't they taken away the TSB for the bushings?
Well my dealer quoted the TSB this week when they replaced mine under warranty on my 2007 GXP, same parts on my invoice, and it definitely stopped the squeaks. Maybe they used a bit of silicon as well, who knows.

so could that be a yes or a no on the strut mounts and what's TSB mean?
A no, and TSB is Technical Service Bulletin. Basicly identifies an issue that requires correction as the customer comes in with the issue that is of a non safety endangering problem. If it were safety endangering or a major defect it would then become a recall.
