    I also used the Idata Maestro for steering wheel controls if you want those to work vs splicing wires. Direct plug and play. You can pre program the Maestro to have the buttons work how you want them too.

    Repainted the license plate light covers. Using Duplicolor's trim and bumper paint. Love that stuff. Lasts for a long time. I redid all the plastic trim about a year and some change ago and still looks black.

    That paint is amazing. I won't use any other product to restore trim and plastics. It's not like spray paint either although goes on like spray paint.

    I see that Auto Zone sells that paint. I’ll swing by after work today and pick up a can.

    Well guys, it worked WAY better than I expected, almost too well. Kills all drone from 2500-3000. I tried to record it but it doesn't really capture it.

    I used a 2.5" mandrel bend and 3" exhaust tube(both stainless). I capped with 18ga 304 SS sheetmetal. There is 5.75" of length in the bend and 18.5" in the 3" tube. I tuned for 125hz at 300deg F.

    I'm super satisfied with the outcome.

    You should be able to transfer your subscription. Sirius was sued over this a few years ago. It’s like $35 so long as you paid for the subscription and it wasn’t some complimentary thing.

    I had my lifetime transferred to a Sirius XM sxv300 tuner so every time I get a new stereo I just transfer the tuner and make sure the stereo is XM capable.

    Thanks. Found that out and saved the court order just in case they want to give me a hard time. The big thing is to see if I can use the factory xm module.

    I did the same thing a little while back too. It makes such a difference.

    Drove it for the first time since last week's back surgery. Never found the driver's seat to be super comfortable but it was quite good in this situation.

    Just curious, was the surgery for sciatica or some herniated disk?
    I’m holding back from seeing a back specialist because I’m unsure if they’ll just say I need surgery right away.

    This one (this is my 3rd time having back surgery) was to remove a bone spur and a cyst and also to grind down a little bit of a disk in my lower back.
