Thx guys .you've got to see the looks I get from some people at lights and people who are walking! Lol, especially old people. Sometimes people ask my gf, complaining, why is it so loud? Sometimes people give me a dirty look when I'm stopped at a light. F$&% them! That's what I say.

Oh yeah, little dogs hate it, I scare small children and geese! F$#@ 'em! The best thing tho: gf can't sneak up on me!!

I finally put those fake plumbing /center caps on my rims. If you didn't know, you wouldn't look twice. I used silicone, so hopefully it'll stand up to centrifical forces and heat with no problems. If I miss 1 or 2, I bought spares.IMAG2203.jpg IMAG2206.jpg
I also fixed some peeling issues with the dip on a few rims. I used a new razor blade and cut out the peeling dip, instead of peeling it all off. After that I just resprayed the dip. Good enough. Sorry, no pics on that.
I also ordered some led high beams. 51DvHAR3M1L._SS98_.jpg
Wireless obd scanner. It'll let me see what's going on much better. 413S06jb20L._SS98_.jpg
And I ordered the tps replacement pigtail. I'm hoping this is what's causing my reduced engine power issue. It's really random, but still annoying and I don't want it to become a dangerous issue. 41eF6u1U8fL._SS196_.jpg

I didn't know you were having that problem, that sucks. I hope you get it figured out. Nice job on the wheels, that looks way better!

Thx Red. I wiggled the he'll out of that yellow wire that you mentioned in another post, but nothing happened. I couldn't get it to go in limp mode. I figured I'd might as well just get it.

What LEDs did you get?

I'm thinking about getting a set for my projectors to try out, but I want a set that are rated for at least the same lumens as the 9011 HIRs I have in there.

When you get them I would be interested in seeing the beam pattern in comparison to the stock.

I'll def take a pic once they're in. I don't have the stockers in there now tho.
