i kno im not the only one who thinks you just smashed a piece of dog poo on your wheel

There's def a noticeable difference under the hood and a little difference on the trans tunnel. If I wrap the midpipe also I think there would be a huge difference In the trans tunnel heat.

Honestly, I'm not expecting much difference, at least from my last setup with the tcsportline arms.
Reasons why I'm upgrading from the china arms are 1. it broke from dropping the rear end into a stupid deep section off the track, 2. every nut on those arms that're supposed to lock adjustments never stay tight, and 3. they were designed like feces and made from feces metal.
At first impression, though, the serial nine ones are way beefier, heavier, and prettier.

Whether they're worth 650 is hard to say. They are to me, but I enjoy having nice arms and I also need shorter/adjustable ruca's since my rlca's are shortened and the alignment would get all screwy with any other stock length arms.

No, the installation is simple - you disconnect the wires from the battery, and then take off the airbag from the steering wheel, disconnect connectors, unscrewing the nut. New wheel stands without problems.
With regard to the connector on the airbag squibs - I put a blende using a resistor.
This is a temporary solution.

You're watching your tq converter float in a huge container of tar that you found in a swamp!? Lol from the looks of it I'd say you're dyeing your converter black. Unless it just fell in there and you are trying to dye your arms and hands?

Just giving anyone who takes the converter apart a suprise

How much did you pay for the trim, and where?
