Just got a call from the body shop. Door has to be repainted too along with the quarter panel. They said it'll be done by Friday. I'm just happy I had my comprehensive deductible so low lol

Yeah I thought i was slick with the high deductible on mine since I don't drive it often, but that doesn't help when the garage provided by the complex has cracked plaster falling on the car.

At this point im looking into just buying new bumpers and getting the car wrapped.

Good luck getting the stock one off if it hasn't been off before.

Rag, duct tape, and a pipe wrench. No problem.

Exactly. It can be pretty intimidating for someone that hasn't done it before though if it's really loctited on like my 2017 was.

Some have a drop on them, others have a gallon. The guy installing the knobs must be bi-polar. The amount used - equals his moods. :icon14:

Yep. My 2014 came off by hand. My 2017 I literally needed a 3' pipe wrench.

LMAO, I got the guy that use a gallon of locktite. I did the rag ducktape and rubber strap wrench and finally got it of with a pipe wrench an through the knob in the trash. I was f-ing hot when I finally got it off.:shakes head:

Same guy did mine. I had planed on keeping the stock knob but it was beyond trashed by the time I got it off.

Mine had a gallon on as well. To not damage it, I did the following.

Wrap the knob with electrical tape first. I used about half a roll. This will not leave much residue and gives a little absorption from twisting. Then I used gaff tape to wrap around the e tape. This allows for better grip of the pipe wrench. Pipe wrench with longer metal pole for better torque and the knob popped off after a few moments.

Z1 High Flow Cats installed. Barely noticed a sound difference and the car still feels good. I just need to drive it around to burn off that new exhaust/cat smell.

abm89 01-08-2020 08:59 PM

LOL, i got a P2A03 code on my way to dinner tonight. All after I drove the car all day yesterday.

I cleared it.. picked up the dinner, and the light didn't come back omw home. Idk if the sensors were left on with ECUtek or what.. We did discuss the wiring for the harnesses as it was a tad tight with the J bung. I'll have to check and see if the cabling is loose.

Bought an Invidia Gemini catback exhaust about 3 weeks ago and, after some delays waiting for missing parts of it to arrive, finally got it installed on Saturday. Paid to have it done because Winter decided to return with cold rain and snow. I know a lot of people say it's not loud enough but it's perfect for me. Got the rolled steel tips so that it will still look factory original (unless you know what you're looking at); need to play with the tip placement a little.
