    Help with flaking DIY painted calipers

    Thanks for the suggestions. I did use brake fluid. I must have picked up that instead of cleaner. As soon as it gets warmer out I'll give it another go.

    Help with flaking DIY painted calipers

    I'm trying to figure out why my DIY paint job flaked/peeled on the rear caliper after a couple of weeks. Pic is attached. I followed the method used in this thread: Want painted calipers? Don't want to spend $600+ on them? Before painting I cleaned the calipers using brake fluid, rinsed, and...

    Kenriko Chrome Delete Kit: Show off your tips and pictures here

    @Kenriko any way to order just a drivers side T1? I also semi botched the 1 up replacement you sent. I don't want to mooch off your free replacements since I'm obviously inept at installing that piece.

    Kenriko Chrome Delete Kit: Show off your tips and pictures here

    @Kenriko Did the last batch of 1 ups go out? I put in a request 3 to 4 weeks ago but haven't had anything show up yet. Should there have been an email confirmation after submitting?

    Recommended USB drive for dashcam

    I'm not using that ssd but I'm getting similar results with a Samsung 256 gb usb stick. I never had any issue with it prior to V10. I always get the error message that the drive is too slow after sentry events have occurred. If I reboot or simply remove and reinsert the USB stick, dash cam works...

    Thanks for the link. Just put in my request I got the door handles put on yesterday. I found them to be much easier than I anticipated. Mirrors will have to wait until next weekend.

    Kenriko Chrome Delete Kit: Show off your tips and pictures here

    I've had the kit for over 6 weeks but it's been too hot or I haven't had time to start until today. First I cleaned and clay barred all the trim. Then I got started with driver side T1. I completely botched it. I was partially in the sun at 65 degrees and thought it would still work. I ended...

    Broken Radio

    I just had the sane problem. The two scroll button reboot fixed it. However, no I have the phone key disconnection problem that has been going around.

    Problem with UMC lengthened by Quickchargepower

    Just wanted to update this post in case anyone happens upon it on a search for Quickchargepower. I contacted them and sent the umc back using my invoice number as the RMA. They repaired it free of charge. It only cost me the shipping to get it back to them which was still over 50 since I'm...

    Maryland Excise Tax Rebate

    Just got mine today as well. Took delivery on March 8 and filed the paperwork the following week. Based on everything I had read about MD already out of the allocated funds, I wasn't expecting anything until possibly next year.

    Problem with UMC lengthened by Quickchargepower

    The voltage never drops. Only the amperage drops to 16. Then it goes back up to 32 for a couple minutes, then back down to 16. I'm almost certain the problem has to be where they spliced. Those areas are way to hot when charging. When I first got the cable I felt the cable several times to...
