which one are you getting? there is a two-stripe light bar one and a three-stripe light bar one as well. the two-stripe is the closest to LCI lights, but the three-stripe is also offered in smoked red and that is just sexy

Looks great mate. Does it require a lot of drilling extra holes?

Stock brakes looked pretty rough. Car sat for a few weeks after my last track day

May want to double check if there are any known quality issues like led burning out etc? I remember the e46 aftermarket solutions (both tail and headlight) always ended up being a money pit of broken tabs, water leaks, light bulb out codes and other nonsense ultimately ending up going back to stock. Or maybe it was my bad luck.

Beyond pissed off right now. Body shop that did the repairs broke two pins in total off my tail lights which I posted about earlier this year, and now cause its not sealed against the body of my car properly I have about an inch of water which I just took out.

I did, Richmond AutoBody Langley said the damage was preexisting but they didn't take any pictures of it, obviously I didn't take pictures of the inside when installed so I have no proof either. ICBC said its a he said-she said situation. I called the body shop today and told them my AMP is flooded. The person I talked to didn't really seem like he wanted to talk at all, but he said to bring the car tomorrow around 1PM which I will. Just frustrating that if the AMP does die for good its an expensive replacement.

I'm pissed too. When I installed my trunk spoiler, the 3M rubber wheel I used to remove the tape left yellow stains on the trunk. I had to use some polish and cutting pad with my rotary polisher to get rid of the stain. Unfortunately, I took off some paint. Damn.

Put her into storage last weekend. 😞

Should really fight for this, especially with all the Vancouver rain fall you want it to be sealed correctly and not worry about the rain dripping inside. If they do not do anything about it some 3m sealant or silicone will do the fix.

Yah. My AMP is already soaked. We took it apart last night and are drying it up. Our AMPs have a conformal coating on the circuit board which probably saved a lot of it.

and thanks for the tips.

Found a rubber grommet on the passenger side to go through with the 2 cables from the 3 heads.

Still need to level them and borrow a gun for real world testing.
Tested with a laser tester for now.

The box is loud in the car and I run the application on my phone for Jam To Kill, if not it will kill based on 4 second auto kill timer.

Also been using my new Uniden R3, next I need to order the Blendmount and hardwire for the rearview mirror.

Took her for a detail to get the jet black shining like she was meant to. Water now beading again on the ceramic coating. Shout out to Tier 1 detailing in Tyson's corner in NOVA. Small operation with an owner that cares.

I had water go into my trunk and flood my AMP. We took out the AMP and let it dry for the past 2 days, plugged it in and all the speakers work fine besides the driver side door speaker, it’s all distorted or cuts out completely.

Would my AMP need to be replaced or do you guys think it’s just the speaker?

Yeah it doesn't sound bad, the only issue is it's incomprehensibly loud
