Tracked down a loose wire for my sub, now it's hits like it should.. I didn't have as much bass as I did and when the car would flex the bass would spike for a second or two.. Drove me nuts!!

Spent 10.5 hours this week getting SLICK ready for the GTG VI meet in Torance. Started Wednesday and would have finished but it was over 90 degrees in my garage by 10 am. All that was left to do this morning was washing, polishing her Volks and fine details. She won't leave the garage until tomorrow morning and she's lookin

Should just powder coat them while they are still off the car.

Idk, plenty of people have powdered coated akebonos. I just don't think that paint will last the way it looks, kinda dull like needs clearcoat. Does look nice with those rotors tho.

The brakes look sic as fug. The paint looks plain, but if you wanted to paint them yourself it'd be easy and cheap to get some small spray cans that are quality. A brembo burnt orange sparkle might look like the businesses.

It will fail if it gets to hot.. Normal driving will be fine, but if you track it then they could get hot enough, then you would have to ceramic coat them..

Installed some oem hood shocks from a G sedan and replaced my Sirius tuner box for my clarion head unit, hopefully it stops my Sirius from cutting out all the time..
