i dont see too many doing it off the bat on newer cars. apparently the problem exists on every single motor (even brand new ones), which is ridiculous since the problem has been around forever.

I have the headlight Armor on the fogs plus the 2500k Nokya 55w bulbs. They are deep yellow and I love them. No bubbling, warping, or pitting. They're great. I've had them on all of my cars since the late 90's, huge fan! |

which DBA rotors did you go with? 4000 series? In the mean time take updated full shots of the interior!

Thanks man, I'm getting close to finishing the paint.
Also, I might have just scored another set of 2008+ rear calipers for those who are still looking. Quote:
The interior is getting ready for another change... With the new center dash pod on it's way, I'm getting ready to wrap the dash and getting bigger 60mm gauges for the pod. I'm probably not going to go seamless integration with the pod though. In case I want to take it off in the future I will wrap it separately for a 2-piece modular look. We'll see how well formed it is when I actually have it in my hands. |

Just got the new center cluster in today. It's an okay piece...
I'm looking forward to wrapping it in Alcantara, the rubberized texture HAS to go! Friday the new 60mm gauges come in to fit the cluster. Here's a quick iPhone shot from my desk. |

Interested to see how it fits in the car. I've been debating on whether to get the ati pod or the SMY pod.

def a nice piece if you're going with more than 2 gauges. IMO the SMY is the best OEM looking pod for 2 gauges.

Agreed! I love the look of the dash pod and gauges but nothing beats the OEM look of the SMY and fitment. |

Just looked at that pic on EFI's page. It does look pretty bad. not sure even just wrapping the pod would help a whole lot and I have no plans of doing the whole dash. Boo, looks like SMY it is

From what I've seen, it fits pretty poorly. I'm curious to see what you think of it.

I run oil pressure and boost in the SMY and the wideband in the storage under the radio.

Now that you have been on your Rotas for a while, how do you like them? I am looking to run a similar setup, but am hesitant about that aggressive of an offset. Did you notice any major changes in daily driving feel?

Yeah I've seen that before, but I like to store my iphone in there while listening to pandora. i have been trying to find a good iphone mount, but it doesnt seem like many of you guys run one.

Fitment is perfect, ride is smooth and handling is factory. No complaints at all but good tires help a lot too! I don't regret getting Rota's one bit, I saved a bunch of money and they are perfect for my driving needs. I'm really impressed by the color and quality for a "cheap" wheel. They really stepped up there game from my last set of slipstreams from '97. I did a heavy roll on the rear fenders but really didn't need to for the 9" +35. I guess I can always go to a 9.5" with a 265 tire in the future now, lol |

Since I'm still on the OEM radio, I use Pandora through Bluetooth so my iPhone stays in my pocket, no mount needed
