Most responsive for best price on the market. Gets real bright at night so I bough some gray plastic sheets that theatre guys like EW put over the theater spotlights, then cut multiple pieces to fit over the LED display.

I honestly dont know how I drove a car without one of these.

Off-duty cop coming the other direction witnessed it and got there shortly before we did. When we got there, she was still hitting the accelerator trying to drive out of it and he was reaching in to kill the ignition. The words of the first responding cop were, "How in the hell did this happen?"

She apparently had had a seizure and was released to her husband who showed up a half-hour later. Cops were totally unconcerned about her continuing to drive subsequently. I sometimes wonder how often I have passed her on the road since then :eek:

I had a professor in college that had that condition where he would doze off occasionally for up to ten seconds at a time, then wake up as if nothing happened. He would be in front of the class writing on the chalk board, stop, his head would droop down to his chest, then wake up and continue to write on the board, and giving his lecture.

I saw him driving around a few times. :driving::ugh2::eek:

Came in yesterday and I am digging the fit.

My mats have started to pull-up and deform upon entry/exit and I figured I would switch them out to something more durable during the daily (especially with Florida's wet summers).


That looks very well made. I'll have to look into these whenever i get new seats and clean up the interior.

Cheaper buy in than WeatherTech and a better look, IMO.

Took the car out yesterday and it started to pour, I'm talking HEAVY rain fall. So, I did some power slides in second gear around some turns. Okay fine, I did like one or two but that's a big thing for me. by the way. TORONTO RAPS ARE THE 2019 NBA CHAMPS!!!! YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dood the 401 was a gong show yesterday. Eastbound from 404 all the way past the 409 (i was going west) was bump to bump at 2pm and at midnight. 16 lane highway and the pain.


Careful on the hooning... there was a ton of heat last night

Video will be difficult as car is in garage up on the quickjack for some work.. but I'd be happy to walk you though some things. Two additional items you should buy if you intend to hardwire the device is a a fuse tap, and this: (couldn't figure out the link, paste name into amazon) Pruveeo Hard Wire Kit for Dash Cam, Mini USB Port, 12V to 5V, DC 12V - 30V Car Charger Cable Kit, or something similar to it. If you don't step down the voltage from the fusebox to the HUD, it'll burn it out. I just measured out an acceptable length of wiring from the hardwire kit, snipped it, and spliced.

Let me know if you have questions.

However, the driverside bolt holding the damper will not come loose for anything. I tried a flamethrower, PB blaster multiple times, breaker bar, impact gun, and those sockets used to remove striped nuts and bolts

Here is the end result of my rage and agony

Great, thank for the info.

Plasti-dipped the inside of the driver door prior to applying CCF soundproofing - otherwise it won't adhere. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...99e7918da8.jpg

Take the nut off on the other side. The bolt head makes it more difficult because it has to spin inside the shock also.

It says for dash cam, but it's bare wire to mini USB. :tiphat:

Yup! I spliced into a left 90* angle mini USB so it looked cleaner.

:icon14: OMG that is nuts! I did manage to get it off with soaking in PB blaster, smacking it with a rubber mallet, a nut extractor socket and good ole bicep, shoulder and leg strength to get it off. That bolt is screwed though, had to order a new one because I didn't want to run the risk of putting the old one back on just to drive around with my new coilovers. I got rear camber arms and and lockout bolts coming anyways today.

Glad it came off, and that you enjoyed the story. Any story containing the line "a 6000 ft./lb. God descends to avenge the fallen" is worth reading lol
