Jake, Do you think you have time to show me how to change out the front brake pads sometime soon ???

If your swamped because of the time of year it's cool....I'll just try to do it myself.

Chris, the front brake pads require pretty much the same procedures as the rears. You shouldn't have any sort of trouble at all.

BTW, can you post more pics of your hood (under and above)?

Sure thing Chris.....I wasn't too sure how it would look, but I have to say I'm pretty happy with the results after seeing the final results.

It was a gamble and I thought I was just wasting time & money.

Thanks! Wifey wanted the bright red. The dark blue they had was nice, but it was her pick.

Congrats!
Jake, yeah she won the battle. I can't argue though. Better payment and something she can enjoy driving. No pics of the Grand Canyon, but after she goes mudding in it, I'll have to post up some pics of that. She wants to get it dirty. She wanted the Rubicon for the extreme climbing, but I told her it was too much to pay for something that would rarely be used. Either way, she's happy with it.

Hey Jake you remember me I bought the test pipes from you about a yr ago...I can fix your wheel no problem and NTB uses us for their wheel repairs and marks them up so you might as well drop on by its right around the corner from you.

Jake,

Thanks for a re-learn for the brake pads. I think this last one we were done within 35 mins. I definitely appreciate the teaching. I drove around the area and got the Nismo pads seated well. They tell you to get to about 45 mph and brake firmly until stopped and repeat 3-4 times.

Anyway....they are perfect now....no squeaking !

Thanks again for your expertise !

I will check out all the sites you provided for me and let you know what prices I got quoted.

I just hate to think that after all the work I went thru...I have to live with rock chips again. Blk is the worst for showing the specs.

Hey Chris,

I've always heard that the Nissan factory paint was so thin that we all get alot of rock chips. I would hope that you got a quality paint job on the Amuse bumper and shouldn't have to worry about it as much.
