    Had my lift struts for at least a year. No Issues and work great. Just needed to make slight bend on the K&N housing to clear the passenger side strut.

    Not really. Most drying towels use waffle weaves, not microfiber. Like I said, microfiber isn't good at trapping dirt, so anything that could have fallen on your paint will get dragged across your paint while using microfiber. Waffle weaves have larger sections to hold anything it may have picked up. The best way to dry your car/truck is after it's thoroughly cleaned to use an electric leaf blower to get the majority of the water off then use a waffle weave towel to absorb the rest.

    I don't know what detail shop would recommend a microfiber towel that doesn't do paint correction.

    Seconded. I never waxed my truck in 5 minutes before. Amazing bead, and it does a great job keeping the dust down.

    So many here think it's easier to have the OP post them the link rather than doing a simple search themselves! :frusty:

    Love the Redline tuning struts on the group buy. Install turned out to be rather infuriating due to my POS rivet gun. I had to advise the wife to walk away as I was fuming at one point when the gun was stuck to the rivet and wouldn’t compress the rivet or release. But I worked through it and eventually solved the problem and the my marriage is still solid!

    Also this week I used up some leftover Dynomat I had laying around and did my best to add some weight to both front doors. I didn't have big enough pieces to cover the whole panel so I reinstalled the plastic sheet and foam baffles.

    I'm not sure how much it helped. I did the Subaru speakers last week and am really happy with the new sounds.

    I sold my factory tires for $600... Only had 900 miles, then used that towards much nicer tires.

    It might look okay from a distance but under inspection lights you'll see a bunch of micromarring. If that doesn't bother you than go ahead. Some people are fine with going to a machine wash too; their vehicles, not mine :thumbsup:
