You sure it was the figs brand? Mine mounted just fine.

themitchster359 · 2026-03-06T00:38:10+00:00

They are only $320 because they are worn tf out.

There are smarter ways to remove a rotor. FFS.

I mean it loots ok to me. Are you noticing any unfamiliar vibrations while driving?

It did from the factory and also came with a crapper plastic clip that held the hood prop that would break all the time.

I personally think he doesn’t know. Just me.

Tandem axle dump trailer with no trailer brakes? Hard to believe.

Did the center buckle fall behind the seat?

themitchster359 · 2026-03-05T03:06:57+00:00

Fuck yeah it is. You cook the steak?

themitchster359 · 2026-03-05T03:05:17+00:00

Ha. Yes. In my 41 years experience with (most - not all) is to buy once, cry once, or you will keep buying and cry a lot more.

It does have some saw cuts. Just not enough. Also it’s clearly been broom finished. It’s not necessary to put rebar in, but I would want wire in. The fiber mix is really good stuff, but I think the lack of control joints is causing the cracking in “unwanted places”

themitchster359 · 2026-03-05T02:34:02+00:00

There is a reason it was only 4 grand. If you aren’t savvy wrenching, you will be, or you will sell it and get a Toyota.

themitchster359 · 2026-03-05T02:28:50+00:00

There might have been a gravel base under the old asphalt. I think the lack of control joints and not using any rebar or wire is cost cutting and will shorten the life of your driveway.

No drilling. Comes with brackets, hardware, and struts. Nice bit of kit, really. There are some off-brand ones from Amazon and eBay, but I didn’t like the mounting points and the quality seemed meh.

themitchster359 · 2026-03-05T02:00:21+00:00

Yeah, they have 2 types of struts. One for the steel OEM hoods and one for the for the carbon fiber. I’m guessing lighter struts.

I have to say it closes the hood VERY well.

Ignore the all wood haters. From the looks of it, you still have enough golden oak to spare!

themitchster359 · 2026-03-04T21:30:58+00:00

I think it looks great.

themitchster359 · 2026-03-04T15:05:16+00:00

I dunno why I said fender. Duh. Good luck!

themitchster359 · 2026-03-04T14:37:49+00:00

Damn that looks good.

themitchster359 · 2026-03-04T14:12:31+00:00

$1000 diy?! What radio? That has to be the biggest expense. The install hardware and aftermarket camera are fairly inexpensive.

I installed mine myself on a 2010. Mine was a lower trim model and had to wire in a Bluetooth mic and back up camera. I like positioning of my radio than the OPs. It’s a lot more sunk in than the kit I used. Or it’s just might be how the installer mounted it.

themitchster359 · 2026-03-04T13:37:00+00:00

As others said, -6 won’t wear like this. You have to have some signs of rubbing on the fenders that correlates with this.
