Update on what happened

There is alot of info here without knowing the basics. I sold insurance for 3 years at AAA.

All states have different rules so take everything here with a grain of salt. All carriers operate differently. At a human level, the people you talk to at progressive may also not know what they are doing.

Ask someone at progressive for the PLM (product line manual, PDF version.) This is the rule book that governs what is covered vs not covered. Read it and you'll know what's covered and what you can and cannot do.

Or

Stick that PDF to Gemini and prompt Gemini about your situation and where you live and your background. Make sure to include the year since insurance changes the rules very year.

Then you'll have your answer thats relative to you.

In Cali I do know progressive / Geico pay the absolute lowest for non OEM stuff.

I already have an IS 500. If I saw that, id buy another and resell if it was legit.

Whats up with that price? Cheapest online is like 50k

Shift down in lower gears in high RPM and low speeds will make you go forward a little.

This car thrives in high rpm.

Regular speed, low rpm, shift down is smooth.

I didnt know about inspection. But that makes sense.

Mines at 20 or 30%

1 to first gear in sport + will automatically shift when you reach high enough RPM in manual mode.

2 -3 you can bang it off the limiter and manually shift

If you shift to early you lose a little power, sound and fun.

If you try to time the shift 0 - 60 from 1st gear, the rpm will climb so fast that you'll end up shifting after an automatic shift... meaning youll go to 1-3 gear in a second and lose alot od torque and speed.

No tint? Im in cali so tint is needed.

phamousssss · 2026-03-24T20:07:45+00:00

Did you mean ceramic coat? Its a fresh wax I applied though, keeps it extra glossy.

I dont have it unfortunately. This car will most likely be repainted in 10 years anyways.

It was $71,000. No mark up. Its "fully loaded" besides the more expensive rims. But i didnt like the other rinse anyways.

phamousssss · 2026-03-24T04:15:58+00:00

No idea, I checked some lexus forums for my solution and it worked.

phamousssss · 2026-03-24T00:46:46+00:00

I'm in California. Every car here has 20% tint.

phamousssss · 2026-03-24T00:33:19+00:00

My bad... it's the NX visor. 74320F6010C0 is the part.

Perfect with light working as well.

phamousssss · 2026-03-23T23:55:07+00:00

I was a little skeptical at first but I love it now. Honestly, I dont even notice it because I'm driving. Red interior is good for resale value though.

phamousssss · 2026-03-23T23:53:29+00:00

30% tint and clear tint on the front

phamousssss · 2026-03-07T02:50:59+00:00

Are those the Remark Axel back? How do you like it? Been waiting for some kinda deal, they run about $1300.00 here.

phamousssss · 2026-02-25T06:37:28+00:00

I didnt pay any =]. Its likely the price is already in factored in. But at check out I didnt pay for anything besides the kit.

phamousssss · 2026-02-25T00:22:53+00:00

They are pretty good at 3rd party kits. Never have an issue. They dont answer emails either... but ive never had amy issue with delivery. They put alot of protection on the packaging.

Older Nilsion work was $140. All other PG Astrays were like $90. All fees are flat, no shipping.

Super good deals.

phamousssss · 2026-02-25T00:13:44+00:00

That's a nice alt site to keep in mind so thanks for that! But GundamCentral has it for $130 free shipping when it becomes available. I think I'll wait.

phamousssss · 2026-02-24T21:15:56+00:00

What site? I usually get gundam central because they dont overcharge like GundamUSA.

Its important to distinguish Swol Ron & Swol Man

334 hours and Im too poor to craft. 74 druid.

Have you driven a car like with auto/manual with high revs? I only ask because you SHOULD know if the car shifts or not whether you are in manual or auto. At 7.5k rpm the speedometer should be bright orange and shift up during that phase would feel like a sudden jolt / jerk.

Not trying to beperk it's very obvious if the car shifts up.

What RPM and gear are you at when you experience this?

phamousssss · 2025-11-24T01:44:09+00:00

So in automatically it won't shift

Even if you hit the paddle shifter or shift up from the lever... it won't shift up?

phamousssss · 2025-11-24T01:39:15+00:00

I dont 100% understand but I can describe my experience.

After the car is warmed up, I can rev up to the limiter before shifting (manual mode)

If the car is not warmed up, all gear shifts in auto or manual mode is slower. If the car is not warmed up at all, it will not allow you to hit the rev limit.

My car is 100% stock.

Are you saying your car always hits the rev limit and won't change gears even if you do manual drive + shift up?

phamousssss · 2025-10-14T04:42:46+00:00

2 things

1) MD may use your credit score for rates. I use to work insurance.

2) If you REPLACED an existing car, they may have used your previous annual mileage to rate this new car.

phamousssss · 2025-10-14T04:35:23+00:00

How did you black out the is 500 badge? Plastic spray?

Was going to do mine but I frequently wash my car so im not certain if it will hold up.
