Put a new Android head unit in today...

Caspian · 01-10-2015, 10:38 PM

Ordered Pilot Super Sports at Costco for my stock wheels.

They didn't list them online, but I was able to order them in the tire shop at Costco

Costco is running a promotion with $70 instant rebate on Michelin through 1/28.

Total with tax and install was less than $500.

LD

I take that back. I got to Costco and they had ordered Goodrich G Force Super Sports. Waa waa. Glad I caught it before they were installed.

eek! I wouldn't :$ there are a few choices around $500 now, I learned the hard way that you don't want to skimp on steering wheels... I had a nardi rep in my wrx and the left side totally broke free mid corner on a track!

Sounds great waaay better than the OEM unit, the OEM unit has too much sound processing and distorts relatively easy. Granted I'm using aftermarket amp /speakers.

EDIT: mini review posted in thread above

That would be quite the experience!

Put on red rally style mudflaps. Way too cold, took me 6 hours with all the breaks. OCD's kicking in too. Rear left mudflap sticks 5mm out farther than the other side. I'll fix it tomorrow. Not sure if I'm liking the mudflaps either. I had OEM splash guards before.
Second thing is, going around asking for windshield replacements, getting vastly different ranges from 450 to 250... I'm just worried about it not fitting as well as the original.

I'm tempted to rip out the stock touchscreen unit and replace it with something that uses only old-school physical buttons.
Navigating touchscreens in a stiff sports car over bumpy roads is infuriating.

Just get the OEM radio that has physical buttons, my 2013 has that.

Good luck to you

Wax works wonders. I when I grabbed a large microfiber cloth and I was wiping my car, there was a large piece of sanding paper stuck on the cloth without me knowing. A few seconds later, it looked like I had an angry ex over; swirl marks everywhere. I waxed it, and it honestly looked better than before. In conclusion, don't stick your **** in crazy girls and wax is the shit.

All that wax did was cover and fill the scratches... They are still there loud and clear. It just looks better temporarily. Only way to get rid of them is to polish them out.
