Smile A/C with freeze-12

Today, I got my ac filled with freeze 12. Not the r12 and it is as cold as artic ice. If nobody can find r12 anywhere, use this product. I highly recommend it. But before you charge with freeze12, make sure you evacuate the old r12 and do a leak test. I bought the quick charge kit plus a can of 12oz freeze12. The kit comes with a yellow hose and adapters. Plus 2 cans of freeze12 and a can of lubricant.
I also fixed the sway bar bracket. The merc runs like a million bucks with bilstein yellow sports in the front and bilstein hd in the back. I'm sooooo happy right now.
Next month installing the new tsw 18X8 with 235-40-18 tires. Pictures after.
If anybody knows where to order a solid piece where the old headlight wipers goes, that would be great. Thax ppl.

The dealer has those blanks available. They were available on the 260E models. I don't remember the price, but they aren't much at all.

I had 18x8's TSW carltons on my TE and I am not sure I would do it again(I sold them to my brother) as they really track in the ruts in the highway. TSW's are nice wheels.

tsw are one of the oldest wheel company out there. Hub centric wheels rides and feels better than stock. all tsw wheels are hub centric.
