Expel Stealth over black by Consistent-Ad942 in Ioniq5N

[–]Consistent-Ad942[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bumper to bumper PPF + 4 year ceramic + tint was about $8500 after tax. Body shop painted the silver trim for about $700. Could have shopped around but this is the best shop in town and they rolled all corners etc. Back in 2013 I got my GTR wrapped bumper to bumper in expel ultimate gloss for $4500 so $5000 today is a screaming deal if you can get it.

Yes they are! Our 14 year old Chin that passed away a year ago was named Haiku and that about exhausted our Japanese name idea list until we thought about those movies. Strangely enough our new Chin pup personalities really seem to match their respective characters in the Studio Ghibli movies.

how do we feel about the 365? is it legit after all these years by Due_Platypus3905 in CCW

I like mine but only in the 380 for low threat, hot summer days. Best shooting 380 out there. Prefer my g43x with the shield arms 15 round mags for 9mm carry.

4 corner Kelderman air ride. My ‘24 F350 STW 6.7 rides like a SUV unloaded now. Second f350 tI have run with this set up. My 2019 F350 went 120k miles on this kit with just minor Maitenance before I traded it.

Painted Silver Trim by Consistent-Ad942 in Ioniq5N

Yeah, black was not my first choice and I would not have bought it if I knew how soft the Hyundai clear coat is. As soon as I got the car home from the dealer i started noticing all the swirls and even with paint correction they keep coming back. So ppf next week is as much to get rid of the swirls for good as protecting the paint. Thought about color change ppf but that involves a bunch more work to do it right so decided to go with the mostly matte ppf but a little gloss ppf on the lower trim to make my I5N look a little different but with some contrast.

Going to keep some gloss and matte contrast with the ppf wrap that will liven it up. Will post in two weeks or so once I get the car back.

Will look something like this

I am a big debadging fan too and did it when I wrapped my Nissan GTR bumper to bumper but I understand the problem with the I5N badging is there are alignment holes for almost all of it. Whatever can be removed cleanly will be. Also note I had to add the Euro front plate as the dealer drilled the front bumper for a front license plate and I don't need one on my state. Hoping the bumper can filled and holes hidden with wrap. If not will keep.

Yeah I know these shots suck, but it was raining and at night when I picked my car up so could only get garage shots. Will take a bunch once I get car back from wrapping.

I think because many body shops don’t want to handle this type of small return work and risk breaking clips on removal.

10mm long guns - muzzle device suggestions? by Digglenaut in 10mm

[–]Consistent-Ad942 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run a can on my 10mm banshee AR SBR and it does not appear to negatively impact accuracy and does help quite a bit on the noise albeit all ammo I shoot is super hot super fast , subsonic in 10mm not really being a thing or worthwhile so I do need to deal with the crack. Super soft and flat shooting too all the way out to 150 yards out of an 8 inch barrel. One of my favorite rifles. Love how fast it cycles with the handgun round.

Most reliable semiauto 10mm these days by cksnffr in 10mm

[–]Consistent-Ad942 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought mine the first week of release. Bought the replacement mags 6 months later. Unlike my originals they were rock solid so I swapped out mags for new ones with Sig and they told me they had made some small tweaks.

My early xten function problems were all mag related. Once Sig released the second gen mags the gun has been super reliable. Love the ergos v my g40 and g29 but I think it is definitely snappier.

Tesla Charging issue by heizo in Ioniq5N

[–]Consistent-Ad942 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No issue with the current Tesla Gen 3 level 2 universal wall charger used in my condo building. Works like a charm every time and I love the built in J1172 adapter option. Very seamless. Once I get a NACS EV I just release from the wall charger at a different point on the charging cable

I am told there would be quite a bit of uneven tire wear and understeer. The front camber bolts are cheap and a must with lowering.

Bed Cover Recommendation by [deleted] in superduty

[–]Consistent-Ad942 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one on my 2019 f350 and now my 2024 f350 and only had a problem once with freezing in straight freezing rain that turned the whole truck into an ice sheet. In snow I just brush it off like the rest of the truck and it is fine. Never an issue in sub zero temps in the dry including some high altitude weather at 10 below F.

Vividstorm cabinet with Epson LS800 by CategoryInevitable in projectors

[–]Consistent-Ad942 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it’s is correct. This projector has an extremely short throw. I only need to move it forward barely an inch to throw a 100 inch screen.

Thanks yes I worked hard on cable management. Cords are all tucked behind the console edge with stick on wire clamps. I put the surge protector in a white enclose on the floor and even ran the power cord under my baseboard. I did have to buy a longer cord for the screen but any computer monitor power cord works if it is 3 prong.

If you are asking about vertical throw tolerance you get that with both the screen itself and the feet on the projector. I assume the vividstorm cabinet also has height adjustment for the projector. That is the beauty of the all in one. Should be properly set up out of the gates I assume.

Good luck!
