  1. Can't wait to see the results! I'm not into visual mods like most of you guys seem to be, but this is one part of the car that bugs me enough to do something about...eventually...maybe
  2. Which oil and filter? If you thought just putting out an OCI of "10K" would shock us, think again!
  3. Subbase ‘round here is pretty liberal. I see someone pulled over every time I visit NS Newport! Mostly old white folks, for speeding, though. Woh be unto those who do 30 in a 25 or 35 in a 30!
  4. Good! Sounds like a great place to have family...in the winter. I’ve never been. Do you guys get to the strip often or is it too touristy for you guys? Too hot? I thought it was a DRY heat We have Family near Orlando and summer visits are off the table. Even when I was a young man on leave in Port Everglades, I could not stand th August/September heat and humidity!
  5. Three exclamation points means you either don’t gamble or didn’t lose any money.
  6. I think you meant, "Jaguar XK-series...." don't worry, it's an honest mistake. I'm sure people knew what you meant!
  7. Looks good, but I haven't ever seen yellow films as practically beneficial.
  8. Don't do it! Be payment free (and or keep that moolah in your bank account!) We've got three payments left on our '14 FXT and I'm excited to get rid of that $400/month money suck. If I think about it, three payments will just about cover a Cobb AP and pro-tune! An additional year's worth of payments and I can replaced the CVT when it breaks! OR...I can upgrade and have Apple CarPlay...
  9. It is my personal opinion that smoked headlights are about as stupid as stupid gets for car mods. Some people are retrofitting HIDs or modifying HIR bulbs to fit their sockets, all in the pursuit of MORE light output and visibility (not to mention the numb nuts who just want the look, despite any actual benefits or negative effects on other drivers). I've personally done the HIR mod and it was definitely worth it for the OE-like durability and moderate increase in lumens, all without much additional glare or some obnoxious color temperature. Granted, my uncle had smoked headlight on his 3rd-gen Mustang GT back in the 90's and I thought that was just the coolest thing ever. When I was a teenager, I also thought neon lights, chrome dubs and hella-flush stances were cool, too... In short: don't do it! lol // DD Switchback C-Light is pretty great. I love the look and practicality! Do that and post up a lot of pictures!
  10. Same here. I really didn't like it very much at first, but it has grown on me. I'm not the type of person do add it to my Leggy, but I now appreciate its appeal and look.
  11. I can't decide. Since you've covered all of the other chrome (e.g., on the doors), the small amount on the fog trim doesn't look bad, and I hate fake chrome! I think it's works with the headlights and makes everything look symmetrically boxed on the front end. If I had to choose (you really want it covered), I'd say match what you've got elsewhere. No one else may notice, but I feel like it would bug me, knowing they're different.
  12. Sounds like the ideal situation for a group buy 50 probably cost nearly the same to ship as 1. If he can throw in a 2.5RS, I’m in!
  13. One of my first purchases, too. WeatherTechs and a fitted windshield shade. Tinted windows usually follows shortly thereafter.
  14. Ok, so I have driven on the Conti ExtremeContacts with a better alignment (0 toe and as much negative camber as possible, ~ -0.7 degrees) for a bit now and the steering feel is much improved. The immediate change was an increase in on-center twitchiness. Now, after a couple of months, I’ve either gotten used to it or the tires have adjusted to the new alignment and their wear pattern has lessened the twitchiness. Overall, the 15 Legacy handles well at lower speeds, but does not inspire confidence on the highway, driving 70+. I haven’t noticed any tramlining, pulling or lack of communication of road conditions, but steering on-center appears to be unrefined, with constant corrections needed to stay in the lane for anything other than perfect road surfaces. To be fair, our 14 FXT has a similar problem, made worse than the Legacy during high winds, for obvious reasons. This is coming from the OEM alignment and tires with ~36k miles. I also have the 20mm RSB (which has no affect on steering; just an FYI).
