Thanks! Yea I really love them they've got the perfect tint. This specific setup is from ddm tuning their "ddm tuning plus" kit they also have a standard non "plus" 35w kit which is a great value for the quality as far as I can tell.

We need to get a moderator to rename this post to remove the year and to make it a sticky post. 😀

Is the wheel super comfy or if you got short fingers is it maybe kinda fat? NVM why I ask!

I find it extremely comfortable. My hands are on the smaller side and it feels good.

It actually stiffened the flimsy fender liner also. i think I may make more holes all the way

Gloss Piano Black Roof Wrap (Evo 8)

Scored some great quality wrap and went for it!
Prepped with clay, cut, and polish.

Glassing the roof out is HARDER than it looks from YouTube...

From SPAL 30100375 (861 cfm) to 30102029 (1328-1451 cfm). 30100375 was fine but some days I wanted to hear more fan noise so i know its working hard(or when its time to replace it), especially when running the AC when parked/slow traffic/in grid. 30102029 is obviously more powerful at low and high fan speeds.

Oh man, will update my build page when I get my car back. That said, ordered LinkG4+ because my alternator crapped out and decided to take ECU along the way.

Holy crap, I didn't know this was a thing. Is there anything that can be done to prevent or mitigate "a failing/failed" alternator from also crapping out our ECU?
