ive noticed on some cars the spring rubs the carrier if not oriented a certain way.

Hmmm...
Heeeyyyyy, wait a minute!

I'll take another look at the spring orientation, but I was pretty OCD about making sure everything was lined up.
It's sort of a hollow, flat sounding thud on sharp bumps.

luna- is it coming from both sides?

also check the torque of your spare tire clamp.

The asphalt of my driveway is so meltingly hot that I can't jack the car up LOL!

took my car into the dealers bodyshop to have some corrections done that were not done correctly the first time. Car was in the shop for a month and a half the first time. This time only a week! sucks but im getting my y-pipe and HFCs installed there for $100!!

All this talk from all of u... As soon as I get home, I have some major kenchaning to do. U r all making me home (z) sick...

kenchan · 07-18-2011, 04:23 PM

picasa...(?)

kenchan · 07-18-2011, 04:46 PM

im thinking about making some plate covers for photoshoots using leftover DiNoc.

i'd be just some sheet plastic or poster board wrapped in DiNoc with magnet strips to attach to the plate frame.

this way i can just crop or resize and post and no need to chop the plates out. much faster for me.

I never really understood why people blur or black out their plates in pics. I could personally care less if everyone sees my plate, not like its my social security # or anything.

^ hi alchemy.... I think most folks blur it out because I believe there's a way to obtain personal info (name, address, etc) just by your personal plates. Then again, to your point, anybody who physically SEES your plates in person driving around can get your info then
