your not going to see a difference between switching between dayco belts and bando belts or oem belts....all three will do the same task at the end of the day.

just like switching between different synthetic oil brands....lol

bando....made in usa...cant get any fancier than that lol.

I assure you that that last point is a fallacy. Snicker snicker....

PS And yes, I'm fully aware that JWT and K&N are USDM products.... just sayin'... laff................
my attitude is i buy products that produce the same power and output at a discounted cost, whatever money i have leftover I can use it on other aftermarket parts....spend less get more value.......atleast thats what walmart says.....

BTW i just changed my rear tires for my 350z. 19 inch rear tires bf goodrich g force.....the tires are good but they have a lot of road noise. I would not recommend them go with goodyear, bridgestone, or michelin. bought them used with quite a bit of tread left for 40 bucks total for both tires.

Looks good jhc. Did it come with a voltage control box of somesort? Or just a relay for the switchback? Most leds require voltage resistance from burning out.

MRmoneypit.............you might try getting a Battery Tender. My car is also driven mostly on weekends in good weather. Between those drives, it is on a Battery Tender. I've never had a problem.
