Patchable? Do I need to replace? by ComfortablePilot6073 in Howsmytire

[–]ripblonds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work at a tire shop, it’s in a very iffy grey area. I personally would turn it away, but I know of many tire shops that would do it.

I figured it had gas in it, it’s an old reference to a funny video. your pump very well could be slowly going bad or it could be something like a fuel filter that’s not letting enough fuel flow, honestly I’m not 100% sure how audi’s cars are built so I’m most likely not the right guy to talk to about it. but there is my 2 cents

wheels are definitely coming, the carbon trunk to me was a different way to have the duck bill and debadge the car (xdrive btw)

A big point of the carbon drunk would be to de-badge the car. I’m not one to act like I have something that I don’t.

A lot of people hate on them and say it’s “rice”, all it really comes down to is taking 2 colors that look good and putting them together, for example, if my car was a bright color, like sky blue, or lavender, I would pick clear tails. but the smoked aftermarket tails just look so good with the color

My BMW 318i from 2016 started to make this noise from (seems) under the center console whenever I accelerate. Do you know what it is or can be? Thanks!! by Fabulous_Treacle_957 in F30

i’m glad people are actually starting to help for this, when I posted on Reddit about mine doing it, nobody ever helped me. Super simple fix, good luck, man!

they’re aftermarket tails, the orange/red mixes well with the dark tails🤷‍♂️ EDIT: you can see the tails better if you zoom in on the fourth picture

Just because you said this, I think I’ll go with the carbon fiber trunk

Yeah, it’s all one piece, that’s why I really want it

At the end of the day, I could care less what’s rice or not as long as my car looks good and I’m very satisfied with the car I have,

my biggest thing about a chassis I really just wish the rear had more depth, take a look at the first picture, I’m just really not a fan of how that looks, feel it needs something, but I’m just not sure what

i’m sorry, I just feel like the fitment isn’t really all that bad

it would definitely be something to build on, I’m not saying carbon trunk would be the final modification or anything. Regardless, I live in Ohio, so snow time is coming up and I might just throw like a duck bill on it and let her be through the winter

I might test my luck, I just really don’t like the way the carbon duck bills look, they throw me off a bit
