    Custom Rhino Rack For Sale

    I'm having trouble uploading actual pics but here's the manufacturers website. Note, I've already fit the rack to the car and that's the hardest part. It screws in tight but the rubber feet protect the car. There's no marks from where it sat on the roof. Vortex 2500 RS Black 2 Bar FMP Roof...

    Custom Rhino Rack For Sale

    These racks are custom fit to the MS roof latch, with a snug fit and key locks. I kept them installed for 2 years through multiple car washes and 4 Chicago seasons without any lossening or noise. I sold the paddle boards and no longer need the rack. $200 plus shipping costs and they're yours...

    Roof racks: too ugly?

    I got Rhino racks this season for SUP. They're the least expensive but very high quality. It took about 2 hours to install. The pano can still open full. I don't think they detract at all, and may even add to the cool factor. I'm not sure if I'm going to remove them for winter or not. Its a bit...

    Pricing for Obeche Matte Center Console

    Hi liuping. Are the sides grey, or is that just the lighting? If the sides are black and its in good shape I'll offer $300 + shipping (you can drop it at a UPS store and I will deal with them directly). Ok?

    What has worked the best for paint protection given our harsh conditions?

    I've had my car since March 2013, and had it opticoated November, 2013. It still looks new after 31,000 miles. To be fair, it's garaged when not in use, including days when parked at my office.

    San Diego Man's $58,000 Nightmare with a (Salvage Title) Tesla Model S

    I find this fascinating. 1) As an owner, I'm thrilled with further proof that stolen Teslas are worthless. I'm sure it will take a few episodes before word spreads, but it will soon be clear that TM can shut anyone out. 2) There is a very active EV builder community out there. If the salvage...

    What's your 6.0+ car name (if you are willing to share?)

    Racer X, of course, is my nemesis (and my older brother... wait a minute, this sounds familiar...), but the Shooting Star is no match for the Mach 5: "The Supercharged Mach 5 is an automotive machine incomparable to any other on the racing circuit. Its unique aerodynamic design, coupled with...

    New project: Credit Card sized Key Fob, measuring interest

    I'd buy one. I wonder if R&D requires much more than removing the guts from an existing fob, tossing the door opening stuff along with all plastic, and making a new home for what's left.

    Panoramic Roof Sun Shade now in Tesla Store

    In person it looks fine and functions well. Once installed it appears to be part of the original design. It is taught and high quality. My only gripe is that it is not retractable. It's either in or out.

    Panoramic Roof Sun Shade now in Tesla Store

    I hope this helps. There are two rectangular pieces that come twisted and folded in a nylon pouch. If you've ever seen a folding frisbee, thats the idea. So, you twist them, and they open into two rectangles, one slightly smaller then the other (for the front part of the roof). They have a...

    Panoramic Roof Sun Shade now in Tesla Store

    I did it. The Pano tint is probably 90% effective, but no amount of AC does the job when the sun is bearing down at the wrong angle. I hope this does the trick.

    Firmware 5.12

    I was updated to 5.12 at the Highland Park SC today. The release notes remain unchanged. It starts the same as the other recent updates by explaining that it adds minor enhancements, then explicitly repeats the prior release notes.
