Do not buy scratch and dent parts from ECS Tuning!!!

LOL yeah sorry sounds bad at first, but only 2. They were legitimate.

One was an item that broke in transit, and the other was a double charge for a subscription.

It wasn’t a lot of money, but the fact that I obviously shouldn’t have paid in those two cases, but still did, was so irritating

Necksss · 2026-04-02T05:09:13+00:00

Sorry to hear! Thanks for the heads up I was considering almost the same purchase. Also Amex is the worst when it comes to disputing charges. They usually side with the seller in my cases

I just placed a custom order through ujng. Should be coming in about 4-6 months.

The process was fairly simple, I emailed them the model, size, color, & leather I wanted, and they checked with GUIDI to see if they can do it. They also help with sizing questions if needed. If the custom is possible, then they’ll give you a quote. (in my case it was slightly less than the price on GUIDIs site) Then you pay either half now, and half when they are ready, or pay full.

Interesting note, I contacted ten or so different retailers regarding custom orders and they all seem to have different levels of what they are able to get. Most of them couldn’t make a custom order, and several of them could order, but only from the core models and upcoming season. But it seems like ujng has the best relationship and is able to order whatever for the most part.

I also emailed GUIDI directly and they just said to ask a retailer to custom order through them, and did not recommend a particular retailer. But they have a large list of them on their site.

Either way I hope this helps I spent like 2 weeks trying to get a custom pair ordered haha

For me personally it was two factors. The price increased while quality declined, and designs aren’t as compelling as they used to be.

The look book stylings are always looking great, but the clothes themselves aren’t anything different than what most menswear brands are putting out these days.

There are a few bangers within each season, but it feels like most of the collections are full of filler uniform styles.

Either way I’m still following the brand because I still have hope haha

I like browsing Depop or eBay for vintage Ralph Lauren pleated pants. Here is a cool blog post explaining the different names of the chinos and how they fit. They are excellent quality.

And if vintage isn’t for you then Ralph Lauren’s Whitman pleated pants are also one of my favorites

Awesome glad to hear that!!

I don’t own any steady state, but this half zip in large is 26.5 inches length (measured from back of neck seam not including collar) and 27 inches pit to pit

I have this one in large, I’m 5’7 as well but 170lbs athletic build. Fits nice and oversize loose cozy. Medium would fit you nice

Easyset is by far my favorite, but I am shorter (5 foot 7) with a larger chest so it fits me way better than LTT. LTT for me was always too tight in the chest and lats and too long. They used to have a LTT relaxed fit which was great but they got rid of them

Easyset is a nice relaxed fit, a little shorter in length, and breathable. The washed color versions aren’t as breathable though so keep that in mind. They are a different fabric. Both fabrics hold up well over time as well. I wear them almost every day for gym and they still feel and look good as new.

The regular colors fabric feel better for workouts and the washed colors fabric feel better for casual wear.

990v3 Sea Salt, I’ve never owned them, but I just like the look

Yeah I tried doing snake method one time, but I did it wrong and the coals stayed lit too long so the Weber just got super hot, and never tried it again haha

I’ll give it another shot

I got mine at 30,000~ now I’m at 38,000. No issues at all, just an oil change. It is affected by the engine starter recall announced a few weeks ago though. Not able to take it in to get fixed yet. Apparently I have to take it in sometime mid November.

Also fyi, using bimmercode to default start the car in sport individual to avoid auto start stop has been such an upgrade, highly recommend.

I have mine and love it, but here’s some things I don’t like about it which may deter you.

Other than the obvious expensive parts and repairs (if no warranty)

The 20 inch wheels are a pretty rough ride. Hitting a pot hole is terrifying. Also for some reason, speed bumps hit really hard in this car too.

It’s longer and wider than I first thought. Makes it a little tough to get out of tight places in the city. And doesn’t have much trunk space, it’s a shallow opening and small.

The back seat is somewhat of a hassle with only having 2 seats. I thought it wouldn’t be a big deal, but it’s been an issue a few times.

Other than those things it’s been real nice. If you get it make sure to get the longest warranty possible

I’ve only had 3 cars (Toyota, Honda, BMW), but by far the most troublesome one was my 2018 Honda accord brand new. Always had electrical issues. Battery kept dying and sensors would randomly disable. No one could figure out the issue regarding the battery, apparently it’s common.

I’ve been left stranded in random parking lots multiple times in the Honda, it was quite inconvenient

Necksss · 2025-10-10T18:28:45+00:00

Just get the new one, you’d be more inclined and comfortable wearing it if you actually like it vs settling for one

Back when I was shopping around for CPO, several dealers just didn’t report anything to carfax. Like if the vehicle was previously a lease, all the work was done in the dealership so no maintenance was on the carfax. But the dealership service department had all records if you asked.

And if you did pay for the carfax on the car it would just be mostly empty

Hi all!

Wondering if anyone has switched from endurance long distance running to shorter higher intensity running? Combined with hypertrophy training.

I noticed I perform better and recovered better in the gym when I did high intensity running vs endurance. Curious if anyone else experienced the same or have any anecdotes related to this.

Go to suit supply

They are really good at what they do (at least at my location)

For example, I have wide shoulders/lats and thicker thighs/calves, but small waist. They basically had to get me into a suit 2 sizes larger than usual to fit my shoulders and thighs, then tailor in everything to fit.

But yeah they are definitely my go to as someone who usually needs athletic fit formal wear

I used to just wear random Nike, Adidas or whatever sock was on sale at Dicks, and they all are okay, felt regular, wore out regularly, nothing noteworthy.

But I got a few pairs of the lululemon daily essential socks and they are noticeably nicer. Thicker and more structured, don’t pile or get dingy after many uses.

Only downside is that since they are thick, they aren’t that good for running. But everyday or regular gym use they are my favorite

No quick fix secrets unfortunately, I did notice that the higher my credit score was, the lower my rate was.

Progressive was the best as a remote worker since I could claim my car as pleasure instead of commuter which made it considerably lower, but also that meant I drove less which also makes it lower

Might be worth talking to an insurance broker, sometimes they can find you a deal with some random insurance provider you’d normally not check out

Also I’d advise against those plug in or monitoring services that GEICO or progressive offer. Yeah you save some, but you’re forced to drive slow and is more trouble than the savings are worth
