What's "low"? I had these sitting at 37PSI cold. It's back in the 50s and higher this week so we'll see if I can get them to slip after some warm up.

Yaaay another thread to lurk!
Hot damn that thing looks great after the detail. Makes me sad how how filty my poor car is. I could have SWORE that someone said the TRD duckbill did not cover the Limited wing holes! Now you've got my wheels turning (the ones in my head). Nice tire choice, btw. I'm waiting on my first paycheck for the exact same ones. |

Maybe you were confusing "duckbill" from TRD with the Five:Axis one? I like how the F:A one looks, but, yeah, new trunk needed for that.
OE has me convinced to go with MPSS tires for my next wheels. C.R.E.A.M.. |

I confuse nothing! Ok, maybe that was it.
Whatever, smartypants. Either way, still gotta paint it. Boooo! Good thing I still have some WRB left over. Just need my new job to FREAKIN PAY ME ALREADY... |

How much WRB you got left? I'm just happy OE kept his chrome fender trim. Last edited by chanomatik; 04-10-2013 at 02:39 PM. |

The tires grip for days...not as quiet as I had hoped, but I think that has more to do with the sound-deadening than anything else. Definitely quieter than my BFGs though. Quote:
Really contemplating getting rid of it actually. Looked nice, but I think it kinda clashes with the gold wheels. Without the chrome though, that whole area looks plain. In any case, it's fairly well behaved in the warm weather. Much harder to break traction unless I'm trying really hard to be sloppy. |

BAM.
$400, though. They're insane. Yeah, if I had gold wheels I would've already gotten rid of it. For me, I want gold wheels, but I'd have to remove all the chrome first. Not too crazy to do, but I'm not ready for that commitment yet. |

I bought a quart or so of WRB from NAPA and had one or two spray cans made from it. Still have a good amount left. I tried mixing and spraying with a gun but found that I have no idea what I'm doing and went back to the aerosol can to finish. Quote:

Prova WRB side wings for $400.... so all they change up is that blingy satin fender vent from the stock black plastic? Why is that $400? Get outta my thread Mr. Matik!
I agree the TRD carbon fender wing is interesting...not sure I want anything that plainly says TRD on the outside. Inside is okay...been considering that TRD intake, but I'd prefer a dry filter over an oiled cotton filter. |

You'll NEVER rid of me...
Is that TRD canard thing the one that looks like a shark fin antennae for the fenders? |

AP Racing brakes are here. Konis are here. RCE yellows been had. And a local is letting me borrow his stock suspension to build the Konis off the car.

Nice! That's a beast of a rotor, there.

Both local Advance Auto Parts stores don't have Mac strut spring compressors in stock. Making the drive to Harbor Freight in rush hour traffic after work...

I've owned a set of Craftsmans for probably 8 years now. Well worth the investment.

EDIT: Stock struts successfully disassembled. Built a front Koni, but I think I'm missing new top nuts. Stock ones DO fit. Halting until I speak with TiC. Also, RCE Yellow bump stops look like they'll need to modified to fit over the rear Koni strut shaft. Last edited by OrbitalEllipses; 04-16-2013 at 11:47 PM. |

I am trying to remember if most shocks come with new top nuts. I would just put the OEMs on and move forward.

Confusion on part because they were put in my rear box (fronts were pre-installed, so no box) and there were no other nuts in the rear box. Stock rear nuts do NOT fit and fronts DO, so I assumed those were my rear top nuts when they actually aren't. NBD really. |
