    Carbon Fiber Roof Wrap

    I'm ordering some of the 3M wrap. Have the XM antenna (I assume that's what it is) on the back of the roof. Any tips on how to get this off, or should i just trim around it?

    Suspicious Squeaking After Cold Air Intake Install

    Strange. Is it consistent? Vary with speed? Does it sound like it's coming from the engine or cabin?

    Mud Mats

    I put the WeatherTech mats I had in my '13 in the new '14. (Just the front). I ref lacrosse in the spring and summer, and my sometimes my shoes are muddy. At the beach right now, and the rubber mats keep the sand out of the carpet. Rain and such in the fall and winter = rubber floor mats are...

    2015 Hyundai Genesis Detects and Adapts to Speed Cameras

    I use Waze on my iPhone and it's been pretty good at reporting cops running radar as long as someone has already reported it. I bet this uses similar technology.

    Recommended Oil Change So Short

    So my problem is I'd really like to "BMOO" (bring my own oil) but I seriously doubt if walked (drove) into the dealer (where i have my handy-dandy Toyota care package with free oil changes) with a few quarts of AmsOil or other synthetic they'd even consider changing the oil with what I brought.

    How to Disable Alerts?

    So this begs the question: If you change your own oil, what kind of records should you/must you maintain that "proves" you kept up with maintenance in case of a problem that should be covered under warranty down the road?

    Intake and Exhaust Upgrade Debate

    Gee, all I wanted was to know if aftermarket exhaust and intakes could increase fuel mileage, or if they just sounded cool. :huh: But thanks for the interesting dialog. :)

    Intake and Exhaust Upgrade Debate

    The general consensus seems to be that an air intake upgrade does not result in horsepower increase. I'm pretty sure and upgraded exhaust is not going to increase horsepower. :) Some of the aftermarket muffler and exhaust company websites claim their products will increase fuel mileage...

    Anyone Here Have An AEM 41-1403 Cold Air Intake Installed?

    There's an unscientific test of cold air intakes I just saw on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCi2yo4UqPI The conclusion from the data on the dyno, no appreciable difference. They may produce a better sound, but other than that...I'm not convinced.

    Adding A Little Pep To Its Step

    So I was curious what the all-knowing oracle of the Internet said about changing filters out. The boys at the Mighty Car Mods channel on YouTube seem to have some interesting things to say about aftermarket POD filters. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAIxeQUSg-Q

    Adding A Little Pep To Its Step

    Trade your 'rolla in for a '66 Mustang ;) (Kidding) Dunno. I'm still trying to decide if I want to swap out the muffler on my '14. I hear good things about Borla and Magnaflow (no pun indended...well, ok, maybe a little pun). I'm sure others would have their opinions. I think it's...
