If you only get vibration while applying the brake pedal then it's more than likely uneven pad deposits. Try several hard stops from 60 down to 10mph while never coming to a complete stop, this should clean your rotors and even out your pad deposits, and if you didn't bed-in your pads this should accomplish that too. After doing those braking cycles, drive for about 10-15 minutes to cool the rotors, hopefully that pedal vibration will be gone or at least significantly decreased.

Be sure to only do this where it's safe to do so.

Took my G for an exterior detail. Lasted all of maybe 2 hours. Went into the garage and found my cat laying on my roof. My 8 year old had left the door open and the cat got in. My hood is covered in scratches. Looks like the cat couldn't get a grip on the freshly waxed surface. I spent the next hour and a half polishing and rewaxing by hand. Some were deep enough they still didn't come out. Smdh.

Meh. Try harder.

I did some totally premature spring cleaning in the engine bay this weekend, after receiving my final set of P2M hose clamps.

I was going through the poor man's mods and figured I would do the engine cover with blue in mind. The blue you have is pretty nice do you recall the name? Thanks in advance.

Aliexpress cover, my OEM wheel was just trashed by the ring/hand cream wearing original owner (somehow did it in 17k miles..) if anyone gets this, you 100% have to take the wheel off, it would be utter hell to do this with the wheel on, and its actually very easy to take off once you have done it, overall it feels amazing and i'm 10/10 pleased with it after giving it a good leather conditioner bath.

Looks good spencer, did you have a shop do the install? If so what did it run you?

The material and the installation all look like high quality stuff in those pictures, for sure. Although I'm not too keen on the busy white stitching. But guys... black leather on a Stone interior? Why in the world would anyone do that? At the very least, swap out the entire wheel for the black trim before wrapping new leather around it.

^^^My thoughts exactly! Nice quality wrap, but looks out of place with the stone interior.

Doesn't look like a lot of grip bolstering at 10 and 2... in fact it looks like there isn't any :/
