What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I went with matte vinyl and like the result of the slightly contrasting textures. Also thought that the vinyl might scuff more easily and matte shows that less.
Only you will notice the subtle difference so go with your gut.

Do be prepared to spend some time on it. It took me about 1 hour per wheel on my OR using the vinyl from TVD Vinyl.

 

Yeah, mine was one of the first made. Maybe they've updated the design. I'd call them and ask if that's a feature you want.

 

You can replace with whatever pad/rotor combo fits your make and model. Drilled rotors have a tendency to crack with heat and aren't recommended. Slotted rotors along with a higher friction pad are a popular choice.

I'm planning on staying with oem pads and rotors though.

 

i called dash designs and coverking and they both dont cut out speakers for anyone else wondering. about to place an order for mine right now.

 

Ah yes, just checked mine; no tweeter cutout. Actual speaker is forward of the vent cutouts. Hmm, I may create a cut out

 

Suede looks good. I should have gone that route.

 

Sunglasses should fit. I’m not sure of the use of the compartment. The opening is at the top and once you put something in there it will be at the bottom with the console open. It’s kindof tight to get your hand in there to reach anything. Doesn’t appear to be a convenient place to store items you’ll be using regularly.

 

It uses double sided tape. Bought from Amazon.

I had one for a short time in my truck. I’m sure yours is better quality, it looks it. Every time I would lift up the cover of the center console my insert would fall right out. Even with nothing in it.

 

Alien Tape (yes, it does work and twists off easily).

 

less money in the wallet

 

That looks like a nice trip.

 

Honestly haven’t used it since I installed it.

 

get new wheels......the offset of those and the OR wheels looks bad

 

its called going downhill

 

The only way you might be able to twist this off is if you used that tape only on the sides.

 

Thanks I appreciate that.

 

I miss Billy Mays, RIP BM.

 

Damn seeing this makes me wish I would have ordered that one. I ordered normal suede

 

Definitely more flexible, but still rigid. They probably won't snap though, from the feel of them. Only disadvantage is that they cost $140. On sale right now for $112.
