See how long your numbers stick. After two years, two replacements, dozen re-tack repairs, I’m going with another fin decor.

It’s not like I ever go faster than posted.

Been waiting 7 months for this exhaust to come! Ordered it with carbon fiber tips to keep the blackout theme going, but it came with the anodized tips. Will order the different tips down the road probably. Still very happy.

Put on Graphene tire shine the other day.

Please share how graphemes tire shine holds up compared to what you were using (was it water based, silicone gel?).

I’m concerned that the graphene coating and compound in your tires both being petroleum products, that rapid acceleration could warp you through the time space continuum, back to the future?

Here’s the highly technical link justification of concern:

“Electrochemical exfoliation is used to produce graphene nanosheets from petroleum coke, rather than graphite. The final product is separated from the unreacted material by a two-step centrifuging process. ... Post-annealing of this product substantially increases the electrical conductivity.”

Bottom line is don’t rub it on too fast to avoid getting shocked and avoid tire spin to prevent a trip without the kids, however we’ll deserved.?

Nice. Is this the Spoon one? How do you like it so far? More responsive? Slightly louder?
Its the sprint filter aka the spoon filter.
found one in stock in texas so a suprise to me. Throttle more responsive and a little more noise. Not bad.

Tonight I (no surprise) added more… yep, red.

- Vent fin covers in the tackiest (and only) red in stock.

- 28” hood prop that with my hood struts actually does nothing but float an R in space (painted it but comes masked). Kudos to buddy ModMage for the find:

Got some springs. Went with Eibach Sport line.
I'm glad I went with 265/35 tires and 18/+38 offset wheels.

Happy to report that I have not rubbed at all yet. I have had my 180 lbs buddy and a 6FT butcher block inside and still didn't rub.

I think the /40 is what's making you rub.
