    Yeah, all the gang bangers in The Woodlands driving their Ferrari’s and G wagons :rofl:

    That being said, everyone is all about the Orange since the astros won the World Series.

    Okay, I just installed the Subaru tweeters and word of warning for us 2nd gen owners, these are “not plug and play” as I was lead to believe. They may be for 3rd gen but not us. They still work great and sound amazing but I could not plug into the four prong connector and simply had to splice into the black and red wire and use blade connector. Still a very easy install and as I stated they sound amazing. So much so that I had to reduce the highs setting to a little past mid line.

    Replaced my steering rack bushings. Alignment tech is whacking away as I type this. MVIMG_20180331_104855.jpg

    Had a bit of brake shudder for a few months now. I'm not much of a player on turning rotors as it just makes them a hair thinner....which can lead to them warping again.

    Through on some new ones. The Platinum line has a nice painted hat. We'll see how long that lasts. 2 year replacement warranty if they warp.

    While I had it all apart I cleaned all the pins, springs and shims. Pads looked great, so I just scuffed them up a little.

    She stops so smooth now. :thumbsup:

    Poly yes. Ended up taking it to my mechanic as I couldn't figure out how to separate the steering shaft and was frustrated by the long bolt situation. It took 3 guys 2.5 hours working from a loft .

    Damn. Well it's done and that's what counts! I want to do the same. You notice any changes in the steering.. tighter, more responsive?

    Debadged the trunk and took off the side stickers. Finally installed the license plate relo kit from @ACEkraut! Loving how the front end opens up more..now time to save for that stealth @CaliRaisedLed bumper bar.
