That's exactly what happened. The intense heat used to repair separated the chrome from the aluminum. It requires the entire wheel be rechromed. I was quoted $400 plus shipping both ways....

Nope. If I run my finger over the affected area, it almost feels like the chrome is bubbling and my picking on it with my fingernail, it would flake off. But don't want to do this.....

I did not take pics before shipping, only have some still on the car. Hindsight. Yes, they called and sent me a very grainy video of the wheel rotating on a machine. I could not discern anything from it. Again, I'm past questioning them about the damage. My issue is with the repair and how...

They said one wheel was cracked. No pics received. Honestly I have nothing to prove what they said was true. And I have to ask, if it was cracked, would I have noticed it while still on the vehicle? I had to turn a brow but had no choice but to believe them. But this is not the issue and I...

If you are considering having your wheels widened (or narrowed), this is information you need to hear before proceeding. I needed two wheels narrowed and had read many positive comments here about this company, so I removed my wheels and shipped them. The first thing I was told was that one...

Now that you mention this, maybe I should have brought up mine. Maiya was my husky. We had to put her down suddenly and unexpectedly. I will never forget her and for the first time in my life, dedicated my car to her. So I completely understand your feelings.

I currently own the second of identical twin 2008 GT500's I've owned. The first has sentimental value as it is the first car my then 16 year old daughter drove. I had to sell it and offered it to my mechanic, who less than 10k miles before, built its engine. The timing wasn't right for him...

And to confuse the issue further, according to LL Gen II, the following analog channels with corresponding wire colors are: 1 White 2 Orange 3 Yellow 4 Green 5 Blue 6 Purple 7 Red Completely different from above. How's that for crazy? Willie

The firewire instructions say orange for the input and blue for the ground. Voltage = 0. Then SCT says to connect the system ground wire (black). Voltage still = 0. I look at my x4 users manual pdf file and it says this in quotes and caps: "YOU WILL ONLY BE USING THE RED AND BLACK WIRES -...

I need a little assistance with a small matter from anyone in the Corpus Christi area. Please message me. Thanks.

The primary objective on my car from the very beginning of ownership was to never do anything I cannot return to original. As non-original as heated seats are in this model, I'd like to stick with the buttons that came in an S197. In fact, I already have the correct control panel. Since I...

Are these a press fit? Can they be removed and shortened easily without taking the intake off? Or even better would be to thread the openings...

So this design has one heat setting. I do not know what this setting is. Is it too hot? Or maybe not warm enough? I'm not going to put this system in only to be disappointed with it, so I'm going with the design (and parts) from my ute, which has three heat settings. I just acquired the...

I agree, BUT as the end user, you should know all the disadvantages of it. I never see a discussion of pros and cons so I assume most are not in the know. If you don't drive your car much, stay away from it unless you upgrade all degradable parts to be compatible with alcohol. It is...

I hear ya, but even back in the day when these timeless classics were basically worthless, I never even saw a Boss 429. I'm sure that was different in Michigan. In West Texas where I grew up, we hardly saw any muscle cars. I was lucky to have found the Boss 302. Bought it for $1400. Willie
