in those pics, way more than a grand. it's so expensive. sometimes you invest in expensive polish just to find out it was hyped up from someone that didn't really know that much about detailing. i can't tell you how many times i see a person who thinks they can detail their white car then when they get a darker colored car, they are full of swirls and scratches and they blame it on a soft clear coat !?!? lol.

if you can keep swirls to a minimum with a black car, you basically grasped the concept. i drove by a guy who was wiping dirt off the rear of his new black 5 series with a floor straw broom. what the hell. or using napkins to clean off dirt.

it's so simple. just unplug a harness on top of the gas pedal, and plug in the supplied harness in between. all plug and play, no splicing or nothing like that. took me about 10 minutes after talked to KRAMER. dont listen to the guys who say that the people who get this is lazy and that they can just press the gas pedal down further. it's not the same. this unit basicallly makes your car feel SUPER peppy in every gear because throttle is so sensitive. ever drive in a high hp corvette z06? the sensitive pedal feels like that. the perception this thing gives you is insane.

camera sucks but replaced all lights with LED bulbs. great mod, makes the car look a bit more expensive.

Its a throttle controller, which means it changes the responsiveness of the pedal. You can make it much more sensitive or you can make it much less sensitive. My personal favorite is red mode also known as boost mode and the cars sport mode on at the same time. Car is much more fun to drive that way.
