After getting lost in the mail, I installed the eBay ***** people were talking about in mid July. Huge improvement for the $6.50 I spent. I'm sure the Carsmo would be nicer, but not over 10x the price nicer to me.

 

Nice, link?

 

4pcs NEW 21mm X 17mm High Silver Amplifier Test Volume Tone Rotary Control **** | eBay

 

The listing says aluminum alloy, are they metal?

 

I believe so, they are very thin and definitely lighter than the oem rubber *****, but the weight isn't felt when using the *****, just when holding them. I'll try and check tomorrow for more info though.

 

I am considering the sways. I will probably do a few aesthetic things before i get into the performance stuff though. I want to convert all of my interior incandescent bulbs over to LEDs and a few exterior ones over to LEDs. I am also contemplating doing the GTR button swap and possibly the illuminated kick plates.


Got my LED reverse lights installed today.

 

If you want to do the interior lights on the cheap this is what you want 15 x Premium Xenon White LED Lights Interior Package Kit for Infiniti G37 Q50 | eBay, comes with all interior, 2 license plate and 2 spare bulbs. Totally happy with mine and for the price you can't go wrong.

 

I like them except the little notch on the face of them.. I wish they sold them without that.. Otherwise nice find!

 

Agreed, if they sold a set without the notch I would have definitely bought them, but for the price I can't complain.

 

Agree. The color matches well, but the notches don't match the rest of the layout of the dash / console.

 

I think they're a bit out of sorts on the Aluminum, but I'm thinking they might not look to bad on my wood trim...

 

I think those little notches might be exactly what I'm looking for, the Carsmos that I had were almost too smooth, a little extra grip might be perfect, at least in my case. Just ordered the last ones, hopefully they'll get more.

 

I've been emailing back and forth with Chris at WC Lathe Werks on a shift **** to go with the TWM STS. Leaning towards the Equator design in order to get some extra weight without having to go to something metal that will scorch my hand during the summer.

This has a 1/2" stainless steel band, but I'm having him scope it at 1/4".



The big dilemma I'm having is satin bead blasted vs brushed stainless.

 

Bought a set of used coilovers off of here and they are seized up pretty good. Anyone have any advice on how to free them up? I'm soaking them with Liquid Wrench Penetrating oil tonight to see if that helps.

 

PB Blaster may do the trick. Saw those coilovers you picked up, should be a nice deal if you can get those front ones rebuilt for a decent cost.
