Put it up in the air to replace the rear drivers side wheel bearing for the 3rd time in the past 2 months now... Lifetime warranty ftw. Also took my v2 kit to my buddy he's gonna change up the look for me.

^ Dang man. Diagnosed what the deal is? Btw, I think I'm starting to experience vibrations/"rough" feedback at highway speeds. Maybe even a slight noise. You think it could be a wear bearing? Not sure what to make of it. I don't think its tires, they look perfect.

Trying to decide if I want to get my car fully detailed or wait until the spring since we're going to be having snow and ice and I won't be able to drive my car very much. When I do though, I want it to look sick!

I only used the plastix, prolly should put somethin else on them, but for now they are nice and clear. Smooth as glass. Don't look to bad for 11 year old lights.

If you want it to last you should probably apply a new UV coat.

Usually if you sand headlights down to clear them up, they come back fifty times worse in 6 months after sitting in the sunlight with no UV coating on them.

Cold but beautiful afternoon here. Took the Z out for a cruise on my favorite country road.

Then out of nowhere this cat comes flying out a ditch right at me. I blew it about 20 feet the opposite direction.
Car is ok, cat took off running.
It was a black cat too. Hope it didn't curse my car with bad luck.
