26 lbs according to Optima site...
Didn’t buy the battery for weight reduction, hehehe
Bought it to fit the TRD carbon fiber battery bar...

I expect a touch of heat will fix them. I bought a vinyl application kit with the squeegees and all

ah makes sense, it could even be uneven adhesive underneath from all the stretching. I got my wheels btw, test fitted them and they look perfect. Gonna have them mounted on Wednesday and going for a shoot this weekend hopefully. Lost my damn wheel lock key by some miracle a buddy of mine had the same one lol

Glad your lugs fit.

Swapped my Invidia N1 for a Q300 that I bought for $250... was practically brand new, as it was being sold by some guy that worked at the local Chevy dealer and told me they had taken it off of a car that was traded in. I think I got a decent deal, plus my exhaust is more mature/quiet and ready for some headers now.

I love my Q 300

Swapped out my brake pads for some TRD pads. OEM's were about 50% worn. My car is over 60k. Very easy straight forward job.

It was way more quiet than I thought it would be, even with the catless frontpipe. Definitely more quiet than most cat-backs I’ve heard.

Lol, first thing I said when I got on it was, “hey, I can hear my intake now!”

Driving down the freeway I can actually have a conversation with my passenger now. But it still sounds good when you get on it.

What’d you have before? The N1 with a catless front pipe droned excessively. It never bothered me at all, but I definitely prefer to drive without it LOL
