took it for second service today (33 months old, 37520 miles). at the weekend i treated it to a full machine polish and tied out the Nanolex Si3D coating - looks pretty good, but whether it lives up to its claims is a matter of time and monitoring...

I then added two 4 1/2" chrome tips.

Looks and sound amazing!
Any chance you could post some sound clips? Do you have any drone ? Looking at getting an exhaust very soon.

Lowering Springs
Hi Mojo:

These lowering springs should do the job:

Don't forget, you will need adjustable rear control arms, too:

Hope this helps!

Drive Hard. Drive Safe. Keep Grinning.

Question,

your grill lights, what switch are they connected to? did you run their own switch, are they connected to your highbeams or foglights?

thanks!
