Still have my bose amp from when I upgraded the whole system if you want it. Although, I must say getting rid of the blose was some of the best money I spent on my car.

I washed mine last Saturday and it was below 25º F. I use the dryer at the automatic car wash but still have to hand-dry it a bit (water drips from the mirrors, the flat area below the trunk lid never dries well, etc) and while doing that, steam was just pouring from the front end around the radiator for at least 10 minutes. During that time, I opened the hood just to make sure it wasn't a coolant line that blew as it was that 'bad' ! Parked in the garage all day Sunday so it stayed clean for at least one day. Yay !!! On Monday, while parked at work, a bird used it for a bombing practice run - big splat on the passenger side rear door.

Had to get my Q70 washed after driving thru a raging snow storm in North Carolina returning to NJ from Florida this past Sunday.

Thx - lucked out during an insomnia driven ebay search right after a seller posted a used tdx2 with a too-good-to-pass Buy It Now/free ship price, got the art pipes here a while ago...been making me smile since.

Was idling in a parking garage sending an email this afternoon and this car almost reversed into me. For whatever reason, my instinct was to rev instead of honking. It was effective

Same thing happened to me with that PCV crossover hose connecting both covers. I could not get it off and the plastic on the left side snapped.

I ordered the Z1 silicone PCV hose kit for some added piece of mind. Looks pretty too

I had the annoying creak in my front. It ended up being a blown inner bushing on the lower control arm/transverse link. It's a fairly common problem. Looks like this:

I ordered an aftermarket rear wing from them before. Totally different from how the advertised picture looked. I had to complain persistently about how wrong it was to get an exchange for FREE. They wanted to charge me return shipping. Haven't ordered anything from them since.

Installed and bed Sparta Evolution SPP 1.0 pads to replace the POS noname pads that were loaded in when I bought my brembos used.

So far they feel awesome, they're advertised having good initial torque and fairly high temp range for autox and spirited drives - can't speak to the temps yet but they feel great so far!
