Not sure haha

They might be no tint for all I know, that's what I always assumed. Although I need some darker tint to set off the white a little more... But then my stickers would get taken off :(

Yours looks like 35% to me in those pics, I have the tan interior too and yours looks similar to like mine. Why would your stickers get taken off? Tint is applied on the inside of the glass.

Planning to buy the 1.5 ton racing jack from Harbor Freight tomorrow. Only $59.99 with a coupon.
To those who have one, how do you guys like it?

I bought a 1.5 ton from them, it was $90 though, so what you’re getting is a good deal. I love mine, and it lifts 18”. Mine’s dark gray though…

Those aren’t on their lowest setting, right?

Whoops haha thought it was the outside.


My rotors are starting to feel slightly warped, hardly noticeably really.

But I think they were replaced at 119,xxx when I first got the car, I'm at 130,xxx now. How long do rotors usually last on these before warping?

^Haha nope, inside. A couple times I've almost forgotten I can't use Windex to clean the inside of the windows anymore, I use to do that up until I got tint. Now I just use a dry microfiber towel. Just use Windex on the outside now.

Rotors don't necessarily warp unless something else is out of alignment, like the pads weren't seated/bedded properly, or if the slide pins aren't lubed, etc. If everything is aligned properly, the rotor will only need replaced after the rotor surfaces get too thin or if a big ridge starts forming around the perimeter.

If yours are warping, that shouldn't be happening if they were replaced 11k miles ago. You could try getting them resurfaced, and/or check and see how the pads are wearing. Did you change/lubricate your slide pins the last time you did the brakes?

I didn't do them.

My dad did them when he bought the car. And he wouldn't have ****ed up

So the vibration when stopping might be my imagination. My car is in perfect alignment and I only feel the vibrations under braking between 60-100%

Could be normal and I'd just never thought about it :lawl:

If you're feeling any vibration through the steering wheel at all, something is out of wack.

Either that or you need to lay off the acid. :lawl:

Blanks.

And the feeling is more in the whole car, as in my passenger can sort of feel it. But maybe a tiny bit in the steering wheel, maybe.. Mostly just a whole car thing.
