Unnoticeable in the cabin. Nothing so far about intake line. Can you tell me more?

Glad to hear. I wanna pick up a CVT tank as well because I'm getting tired of hearing my compressors pump. Just wish accuair could keep up with the demand better haha. I'm trying to figure out what the intake line is as well. I only know where it's located. Does your tank have this?

Yes. But didn't run intake line. Reno did mention that after break in period and intake line ran. It would even be more quiet.

Interesting.
What's the break in procedure?

the chrome trims are the b*tch to wrap. Even using knifeless tape, the upper pieces still giving me problem. You don't have any crevices to tuck. *that's what she said*

Yeah, i know exactly what you mean, especially the big curved chrome piece near the back window. I had to "touch it up" with spare vinyl to cover what little chrome was showing after not cutting precisely.

Would it be worth paying to have it done correctly? I'm not shy when it comes to DIY but if I am going to be annoyed by the imperfections, I'd rather pay to have it done correctly. The front chrome trim should be pretty easy to do myself right?

I got a couple quotes and they were all absurd to wrap the window trim. Like $400.

wow! The shop that tinted my windows said they’d do it for 150. I think I’m going to jump on it.

I know a bit off topic, but I late night bought the Dewalt DWP849X rotary by mistake lol. I am going to go ahead and purchase the Griot's instead of the Porter Cable and return the Dewalt.

Yeah sure go for it, if they do good work then I don't see why not.

I just like being able to say I did all the cosmetic work myself bar the window tint , granted I could run into the risk of someone looking at my work closely and say "Yeah, it shows." Haha
