Mods - Plastic dip the wheels and added JACFAB Liscense plate holder

 So I got a warning for not having the front license plate on the car. I took it off for a week to clean some gunk off. So I bought a JacFab holder. Good construction and simple to put on. I was impressed that it stands away from the body and uses pre-existing  bolts for the bumper.I also tried my hand at using Plasticdip on the wheels. The wheels look a little dirty because of the rain.

AIR BAG!

Took the car to the dealership for an oil change. Got in and out no problem until I went to start the car to leave. Turn the key and got a message on the DIC - CHECK AIR BAG SYSTEM. Good thing I was already at the dealership. They drove me home and a 4 hours later fixed.
Here's the verdict:
Customer States DIC Says service air bag and air bag warning light is on

R9749 - 10 - 09 - 41 - 001B AIR BAG DIAGNOSTIC MODULE SOFTWARE OUT OF CALIBRATION CAUSING LOGIC LOCKUP

It was free and I paid nothing. Problem solved. good thing it was my day off
