Could be tire noise. I replaced mine, but still had noise, turned out my wheel bearings were toast. Just replaced the rear bearing over the weekend and soooooo quiet now.

 

When I go in for an oil change I'll have him replace the control arm and check out my wheel bearings.

Hopefully it will be a cheap fix

 

what brand of tires do you have. this could be the reasoning too

 

They say Federal 525EVO tubeless.

Going some time within the next 1k miles to get oil change, new control arm and new front tires.

 

tuning, and possibly, commonly, "blueprinting" for proper volumetric efficiency.. its like trying to run a 2" diamter turbo on a 3" or some **** diamter exh mani.. could be creating backpressure, or choking.. idk you probably lose on fuel economy as well no? im only semi pro at the moment aha

 

So I'm trying to remove my grille to paint it and just wanted to check on this before breaking something lol.

I see on videos people just pulling the screws holding the grille out with force, but mine look different.

Do I just pull them up and off? I feel like I'm gonna break it.

 

They are actually screws and anchors. T h ey are not the stock screws. Hold the anchor to keep it from spinning and loosen the screw. Don't push too hard with the screwdriver or you will push against the plastic screw threads and strip it.

 

Thanks, I just kept it on and covered the radiator and the body, headlights etc...

Came out very nice I'll post some pics tomorrow! I forgot to save the pic I took after on snapchat sadly.

Makes the G look much more aggressive with the black grille. Can't wait for my blue bats vinyl front bumper overlays to arrive!

 

Not exactly coupe specific but I have a set of wheels with dishes/trims like these.
I need replacements but after searching for a while can't figure out what they are called.

I'm talking about the stainless steel trim ring thats covering the actual dish/lip of the wheel.
Any ideas and where to find them/remove them?

 

Idk about any trim ring but if that's a 2 or 3 piece rim you probly just messed up the seal and have to dismount the tire split the rim and re seal it

 

If you come across these clips in the future the easiest way is to wedge the edge of a razor blade in between the two pieces and while putting pressure on the razor unscrew it and pull it out

 

I am not aware of HP Design actually having a multi piece wheel. I think the bolts you removed are cosmetic. Show a pic of the back side. What do you need to replace, or why? If the lip is damaged then your option is wheel repair. Locally can have done here for $75-125.00 depending on damage.

 

Just looking for a quick response for help.

So I took my G to the shop because I needed both left control arms replaced and alignment. My mechanic gave me a call this morning with an estimate and he is charging me $650-690 for:

Upper/Lower Left control arm
Synthetic oil change
Alignment

Not sure where this price came from considering I found control arms for $40-60 each online.

What should I do?

 

Ask him how much he's charging you for the control arms. Expect a markup compared to online prices, but shouldn't be close to OEM prices for sure. Most of it is probably labor.

 

Considering I found replacement arms online for $30-50 each I'm not sure where he got his prices from.

I mean I thought these repairs were small and would only run me $300 max. But $600 jesus.

So much for getting those HFCs I was saving for.
