Yes, it took about 1.5 hours from start to finish. It’s pretty easy if you’re comfortable with diy. The instruction was spot on. First time ordering from etrailer.com and I really like their super fast shipping. Hopefully the rack gets here soon so I can test fit it.

I went with Curt hitch and Inno Aero 4-bike hitch mounted rack. I’m waiting for the Inno to arrive.




Looking at this, I'm wondering if it also acts as a brace and stiffens the rear up........

There is an aluminum piece in that place. The hitch is mounted behind it.

Finally got a Thule bike rack. These bike racks are selling like hot cakes.

I checked my filters on my seats, and they were NASTY.... so these came in the other day....


So I changed them both, a little challenging but, no problems.

Mine were dirty but they cleaned up to almost perfect. Dawn and Purple power did the trick.

They were never cleaned or changed, and almost black, I did clean them up but, they were not like new. They were only like $12 each so figured I would swap them out.

Did the same thing myself on Friday! I could not believe the difference in air flow. Much improved!

Dealer quoted $229 to replace when I mentioned I don't feel cool air blowing from the seat specially the back support.

Amazon?

Do you get air flow through the whole seat or only on bottom/seat?

I am pretty sure the airflow is only in the seat bottom not the seat back.

Definitely do it if you need it! The hitch is very easy to install. Remove the rear bumper is very easy. You should be able to finish it within 2 hours if you're handy.

You deleted your mufflers? Would you be interested in selling your good used mufflers for a nice price?

after doing my first ceramic coating back in February, I stepped up to Cquartz Uk 3.0 instead of Cquartz Lite

amazing results, these products are both great, uk 3.0 adds an add 30% of sio2 to 70 percent vs lite....

best part is how easy to clean the car has become
