What have you done to your Y lately?

what do these changes help with?

Looks I am guessing.

I wasted some money on some new lug nuts

I just like the way it looks better. It’s a LR so the suspension is a little taller and after lowering the 19” Gemini sit in too far so the spacers make them a little more flush.

Put on Endurapro plus shocks for a softer ride

How do you like them? I was thinking about pairing those with my H&R springs.

That one sounds really good. I’d like backlighting that comes on when the car detects your phone but after market would be big wiring hassle, right? or could it be done with the CAN bus dongle and bluetooth?

The ones I got are passive - very faint glow-in-the-dark self-adhesive strips. No wiring required (which would be brighter and cooler, but more work)

Not a huge change but it's noticeable. I have them set around the middle firmness right now (8 front, 12 rear) and it's about 20-30% better. Need to put on more mileage before messing with it

My weekend project was lowering my car a little bit more and swapping from my old plastic mud guards (I've tried a few different types) to Rally Armour mud guards since they are flexible and won't break going over speed bumps.

What spring kit or coil over kit did you use to get this stance? Looks perfect!

sorry, but not true at all. basic mirrors from factory do not have any blind spots (if you how to adjust the mirrors properly).

If you buy the wide angle mirrors with the blue tint, the auto-dim feature isn't needed.

If you buy the wide angle mirrors with the blue tint, the auto-dim feature isn't needed.

Auto-Dimming on the side mirror is to reduce the amount of light coming from behind, so you don't get blinded by the light. Wide angle and blue tint do not do anything to mitigate that.

Hmmm, reducing glare and minimizing the amount of white light reflected at you isn't the same as dimming? Weird. It's almost like sunglasses are just glasses, but with no dimming feature.

Thanks. I've got MPP Coilovers.

Did a quick detail and tint a few days ago

Are you running on lowering springs or stock springs?

@after-dark

Do you think you would go stiffer or softer? I’m getting my EnduraPro + H&R springs installed tomorrow and thinking about going 8 in front and 10 in rear (clicks from the stiffest that is)

I'm at 12 clicks from hard on the front and 10 on the rear and I get a softer more compliant ride with still feeling sporty. I started at 10 and 8 from hard and felt while it absorbed bumps well, I wanted a tighter feeling ride.

You’re saying your rotated counter clockwise 12 and 10 clicks away from hard? So you are only 4 and 6 additional clicks from being on the softest setting?

That’s interesting- most everything I’ve been hearing - most people have had softer setting in the rear than the front.

 

[miggity02]

Sorry, let me restate what I meant. I think I have it backwards...from the stiffest settings I am 8 clicks from hard on the front and 10 clicks from hard on the rear.

Ahhh that makes sense. I think the popular consensus has been 8 clicks front and 10 clicks in the back as well. Cool. I think I’ll have them do same.

Yeah, if anything it'll be a good starting point! Good luck and let us know how it goes.

I got those glow in the dark handle appliqués several months ago and it was finally warm enough to put them on last week. I wasn’t too sure about how they look but they’re kind of growing on me, so I think I’ll leave them on for a while and see how durable they are.

Saw your post and ended up ordering the body color matching stickers for myself. The 3M vinyl is not an exact match (and the vendor is up front about it) but I'm fine with it. Picture of dirty car just after I applied the handle stickers:
