GTR overlay fail
Usually uneven roads and bumps is where i notice it most. Like driving down a 1 way road and half of the lane you are in is imperfect and bumpy. The sway bar transfers the motion to the other side of the car even though the road is perfect and makes the ride feel a bit bumpy/harsh
Bummer that you have that in your typical route. And yes, in that case the rough patches that would have normally been damped on the one corner and now being felt through to the other corner. That's how it works.However, for normal roads, a set of thicker, aftermarket swaybars won't be felt by the driver at all.
I bit the bullet and had mine cracked open and midnighted. Once the chrome is covered up inside its a much nicer look IMO. I also went with the GTR LEDs which I like but will have swapped out shortly I think.

How does that look? What are GTR LEDs? I don't think I've ever seen those.

I checked out your build thread and didn't see any pics of your evil tails. Hook us up, man!

Yeah, I did the overlays, came out good as far as the install but my DIY for painted GTR taillights looks 100x better, actually looks factory when you see it in person. Here's the link if you're interested I can still ship out the cutouts too.

His go over your entire taillight (and they stay on). Mine are put over all the parts that you don't tint, you then spray the light with nightshades (after proper prep) then romove the vinyl to expose the sections that are lightly tinted or in the case of the reverse lights, not tinted at all. If you go through my DIY thread it's explained, and I sell the cutout pieces.

I ended up taking them to a paint shop, they applied the vinyls, used regular autobody paint, and then sprayed a light mist on top of the areas that were covered. Killed it with some clear, and
Thanks for the kind words!
