When does the manual recommend replacing the plugs, etc?

Almost got side swiped on the highway a few days ago by a driver and had a concrete wall on the other side so no escape. With high speed road noise I wasn't sure if they heard my horn. Going to fix that concern. I have installed a cheap plastic Pep Boys version in the past and decided to step it up with this Italian metal model with 2 air compressors.

How is the dust on the wheels? I have HPS on my 3000GT, but they dust severely. Not sure I want that on the GX.

I've got Hawk LTS and they actually dust just as bad as OEM. Kind of bummed about that, but they do stop a bit more crisp than the OEM pads.

Nice! Do you have some pics to post? How did you mount the light bar?

I switched out the stock filter with AeF dry filter. Throttle seems a bit more responsive from stop.
Question for those that switched out to K&N or similar, did you remove the filter on the upper airbox too?

Stock vs AeF around 9k miles
Did anyone remove this filter? What does it really do?
It fits perfectly.

This is exactly what I want to do. It's 26200 miles now and still on the OEM filter.

I didn't remove the top filter. Just replaced the paper one.

I bolted the light bars to the crash bar. I only had to cut a bit of the bottom grille to make space for the lights. They are very bright and I really like the new look. Wiring was fairly simple. I ran the positive wire into the cabin and connected it to a switch then ran it back to the positive end of the battery. The negative wire was simply connected to the negative terminal of the battery. The hardest part was getting the lights mounted in such a tight space. I'd recommend removing the bumper while doing this

Curious about the “Cold Air Intake” Performance gains? Difficult to install? Price and a link to what you installed please.

Thanks.

Acrad,
how are the X-Ice working out? Have you hit up the mountains yet?

Hey. The intake was fairly straightforward to install. Unbolted the stock box and this was a direct fit. There is a very slight performance gain as the engine is now pulling in colder air.
