Started to hear some rattle at start-up with my Top Speed Catback.

Look under, the silicone sheath near the rear suspension is already gone, only took a month

Quality, maybe I have more room to adjust it now.

I have the catback, it fits tight near the axle and usually has a silicone piece so it doesn't rub.

Few add ons to my series.Blue.

Well I made it 13,000 miles without getting crickets. Good thing I'm still under warranty

Mine needed only minor paint correction. Entire job was around $550.

Finally hooked up my subwoofer today with a LOC.

Suffice to say, I'll be buying an aftermarket HU after all. Sounds so ghetto right now.

For anyone that likes working on their car and wants opticoat, I would consider this route.

Get this for $225.
http://www.autogeek.net/porter-cable-7424-kit.html

and this for $60
http://www.autogeek.net/optimum-opti-coat.html

and get intimate with your car. The porter cable makes it almost impossible to damage your paint, and opticoat 2.0 is consumer friendly compared to the old version.

You get a buffer and save half the money.

And here's a how-to to show you how easy it is.

Also use "autopia" on autogeek and get another 10% off.

Just a heads up, Opti-Coat is no longer being made and has been replaced by Opti-Gloss. Newer formula, similar characteristics but its longevity is either not as long or more realistic.

Good heads up, I used 2.0 in the past and kept wondering why autogeek was directing me to that page.

My bad
