They look great. Does that really help keep brake dust off? If so I'll definitely need to do it on mines!

Not keep it off, but it makes it a lot easier to clean off.

Did nothing because there was a 60% chance of rain and I cleaned the car on Saturday. Life with OCD.

The light doesn't mean the airbag isn't functioning does it?

Looks great! It's a job I need to do too but it's a ways down the priority list so they'll just get a lick and a promise each time I wash the car.

I just did a quick search of that fire. Holy shit people can be idiots! Seriously... a gender reveal party... again??? How could they not realize that it's so dry out there? The article I read said charges are being considered with the penalties dependant on "the level of recklessness". Seems pretty damned reckless to me.

umm its a serious issue right now, all these self entitled women, doing stupid shit. just have to thank social media for redirecting womens attention from educated equality to self centered ego feeding, so they can look at everyone and say,"what, what did i do?"

It may be the women pushing for the parties but I bet most of those women have a man standing right beside them. I think the blame has to be shared equally.

I've been married, (with kids)... not anymore, but I still would have stood my ground against something as foolish as lighting pyrotechnics in such dry and dangerous circumstances.

P.S I'll have a AFE stage 2 SI intake for sale soon if anyone is looking

I don’t think so. It means it noticed a fault and illuminates the light so you can see what the fault was.

Cleaned map after getting these codes

techy101 · 09-08-2020, 08:12 PM

The car is on jack stands until at least Thursday when new brake pads come in so I decided to go all OCD on the wheel wells. I didn't get a proper before of this side so these are left and right for comparison.

F13.KENN · 09-08-2020, 09:32 PM

Painted intercooler silver. Was gold. Fits the mpars nicely.

Just dropped the car off at a friends to get paint corrected & ceramic coated for super cheap.

Car is badly swirled so cant wait to see how it looks when they are finished

Calipers are currently gold and dont go well with the mpars and chrome tips im going to put on. Any suggestions on what color for the calipers?
