Had it for a few months but decided to go to a different route. Still in good condition other than one minor scratch on the bottom (hidden can't be seen). Doesn't require to remove the bumper and uses existing holes and double sided tape. I already removed the old tape so newly fresh one can be...
Currently tariff price is about 15% but I've read some horror stories that UPS did some crazy tariff calculations and charge multiple different rates based on material used. When I purchased mine, I was charge about 5-6%, that was before the hike.
I bought my rims from BHJ and they are legit. However, if you're buying Volks and any name brand rims, there is a wait list. It's based on manufacturing schedule and you're just jumping on the queue based on their manufacturing time. Took me roughly about 6 months to received my G025. As mention...
If you can figure out a way to remove the clip and shift it further back similar to oem then try it. I can't recall if it was possible since its been years but I think it wasn't possible.
The problem is with mikstores kit. Some people get lucky and maybe get as close as 1-2mm gap, it's due to the length of the clips. I've contacted mikstore about it but they basically ghosted me after a few emails.
I bought a chasing Js Dipstick, pricey but at least I can read the dipstick on fresh oil versus the crap orange OEM. Only bad thing I can say about this, it gets extremely hot and letting the engine cool down a bit still hot to the touch.
I bought it from here https://www.alldiscountparts.com/
I'll email them first just in case since their online doesn't reflect their inventory. It won't solve the gap issue since you bought the mikstore kit but it may fix the issue with the bracket concern.
83405-T60-A21ZA. It's a bit pricey since it comes with the armrest and bracket.. Unfortunately you can't buy them separately. If you like alcantara, it's a good option or you can just sell it which I did.
are you using the DE5 bracket or FL5? When I did this mod, I swapped and purchased all FL5 parts including the FL5 bracket/armrest. The DE5 brackets notches don't quite fit too well in the FL5 center console, possibly the reason why you have to modify more.
I'm assuming you bought the mikstore rear ac kit. It won't see flush regardless how much you trim. I've contacted them about it and it seems a lot of people have the same issue.
Mine was s bit notchy going to 2-3 and 4-5 when it was brand new. It got better overtime possible due to break-in. I heard people changing transmission fluid to Amsoil or GM Synchromesh would improve the smoothness.
Technically you don't have to remove the ECU. All you need to do is remove the 2 bolts on the ECU and push aside. Also if it's just a filter clean, just need to do loosen all the clamps, unbolt the filter box, and shimmy the whole box out.
Anyone have their door check squeaking already? Notice mine started to squeak around the second notch. Tried spraying white Lithium grease on the door hinges and the door check but pretty sure it's coming from the door check. Wanted to see if any other options before I replace it since it's...
