Actually, it's not uncommon for a small % of electronic parts to experience an "infant mortality" that typically happens in the 1st 60 days of usage. If they don't breakdown in the IM period, they tend to last quite a long time until they reach their maturity and start to fail from essentially "old age". Given the number of parts in our cars and the high reliance on electronics, a certain % is bound to fail. It's just life.

I'm thinking of getting the cradle, but I'm not sure if it will work with my phone case (Otterbox Defender). Does the connector look like it will work with a fairly obtrusive case? I have an alarm clock at home with a dock, but it does not work with this case, and I don't want to give up the protection it affords. |

Oh well, so much for that idea......
Bluetooth works fine for hands free phone use, and I have my music on a USB stick so it's not something I really need anyway. Txs for the info. |

Put a piece of electrical tape over the sensor on the rear view mirror (glass side). Disables them completely. I like seeing things in my side mirrors at night. Can't imagine how much worse it would be with tint. |

I have two pairs of 15mm spacers coming in, and i just bought a sheet of Carbon fibre vinyl wrap (going to attempt to cover the piano black centre console), my centre console is completely ruined (accidentally used a vacuum cleaner on it)
Also, has anyone found a good rear diffuser to replace the OEM grey/black plastic one Lets see some pics!!!! |

Thanks! I like the way the fronts stick out a little (compared to the back). I'm somewhat freaked that pushing the tires out like that (especially the front) is going to cause issues.

Still thinking about this mod, but also still contemplating the requirements.
The back should be easy to figure out, the wheels only have to move mostly up and down in the wheel wells, so if they clear, they clear. In the front, they have to move up and down, as well as doing so through the full turning radius. While I admit those 15s look good pointing straight ahead, I'm a bit scared thinking what might happen on a big bump at full lock......... Thinking maybe 15 back and 12 front might be a safe bet. Think I'll let you guys be guinea pigs for a bit before I decide :-) |
