i ordered up factory oil filters and washer 3pc set today for my G and Z... :p

Had my Evo-R diffuser removed today so it could be sanded down and repainted, thus ridding myself of that pesky paint bubble!

Can you believe the guy at the shop initially tried to convince me that the paint bubble was "material" that was left over from the manufacturing process, and more specifically was from the release of the product from the mold. He then went on to tell me that if he grinds the "material" down, that the diffuser "is going to get porous"!

I was all like :ugh2: and said...ummmm, I'm pretty sure this piece was smooth when I gave it to you. In fact, I'm going to reach out to the group I belong to and inquire about this because they have purchased great numbers of these diffusers and will certainly give me the lowdown on the quality of the finish.

So at this point the gentleman brought his paint guys out, conferred over the piece and determined that, yes, it could be fixed but the peice would have to be removed from the car. I was all like...."so"? He then went on to say the peice would have to be entirely redone. I was all like...."so"?

Guess what the guy did next? He actually went on to change the subject, and asked me if my new exhaust had come in yet. I was all like...:gtfo2: and said "I guess we're at a bit of a stalemate regarding this piece, what are we going to do about it"? So then the dude kneeled down and began removing the diffuser. :tup:

I'll have it back and installed in two day's time.

Thanks for taking the time to read about my fun! :icon17:

happy- :tup: hope this time they get it right. :)

It sounds like things will work out. :tup:

Yeah, I hope so guys! Ya know what floors me the most about this? The guy KNOWS that if they do the job right, they're going to get plenty more business from me! Go figure.

Does that EvoR diffuser get affected by exhaust heat?

Not that I can see so far! :tup: Once it's slipped on it sits far enough from the tips that I'm really not too concerned.

Tint installed. 10% on the hatch and wings, 20% on the front windows. 3M. Looks fan f'ingtastic!! Also spent an hr and a half cleaning it from my drive in the rain yesterday =(. Black is a Biatch.

Man I can not believe I missed all the trash talk. I come to the forum to get away from the garbage business and come to find more garbage talk....go figure. FYI I manage a landfill for a living. It's okay to talk bad about the hauling guys though they piss us off at the landfill all the time.

:icon17:

We have to supply our own trash cans, but the city supplies recycle bins. I'm lucky enough to live in a housing development where the homes are twenty or twenty-5 feet part, and as such I have a lattice-fenced area to snug the cans up in to.

Don't feel bad Mr. Onzedge, I find my garbage cans not only in front of my driveway, but sometimes in the street...sometimes the lids are three or 4 houses away (and in the street)!:ugh2:

Drove to work

I drove it to go look at a couple bikes. Turns out that I'm buying a mint condition 2007 R6 for a decent prices with lots of carbon fiber goodies

Congrats footloose just stay safe.:tiphat: Happy hope everything works out on you diffuser. Ken why are you talking trash again LOL Oh nooo you aren't talking trash you are probably looking in the trash for those secret recipes.:koolaidwall:
