Did you use the rubber pieces top and bottom?

That's good to know about the WL inserts. To me it's not intolerable, to non car people the amount of drivetrain noise makes the car sound broken. I actually kind of like the gear whine. I used the rubber piece on top only. My kit came with only 4.

I already had a diff brace, stiffer motor mounts, trans mount insert, and diff bushings and this also made the shifter feel much more solid too.

I have the WL diff inserts too and get a bit of gear whine. I like it and am planning on doing the SPL's lol

If you get tired of them we can swap + cash on my end

LOL I will be keeping them. I don't plan on going through that install again anytime soon.

Didn't do anything to the car, but made a silly video:

I'm confused, why is it happening so often to you?

Because I live in Chicago, and people here have the driving skills of a dead, decomposing squirrel. And the merge ones are on my otherwise miserable daily commute, where I entertain myself by boxing out the assholes who cut past a half-mile line of exit lane traffic, and then try to force their way in where the road splits.

I'm originally from New Jersey, but even my people can't hold a candle to the Muppets behind the wheel in Chicagoland.

Dropped it off. They’re going to take a third go at matching the SWP paint so my accident repair doesn’t make my car look like it’s made of junkyard parts.

I don’t expect it to go well to be honest. Not sure what I’ll do with it after. Might give up and try to wrap it.

Why not respray the whole thing?

Because I’m not paying money to repaint a 2013 with 100k miles and 2 accidents, and there’s no way I’ll be able to convince them to do it for free lol. Hell as it is a good respray would cost half as much as the car is worth.

It's not your fault that they can't get the colour to match.. so you keep rejecting and they'll then suggest a complete respray..
