What Did You Do To Your Gen II Today?

Added a new K&N drop in filter….

 

Today: Fixed some internal upholstery issues:
- the center console storage unit fabric was coming undone. Gorilla super glue fixed that real fast; looks nearly new
- Rear of same storage unit came off (the part where the rear seat cup holders are stored) when my son decided to lean against it. Looks like whatever was keeping the piece in place probably broke off before I bought it. Pushed it back in, but I'll probably need to superglue that, too. But there's some electric wire inside with a connector, so I'm a little afraid to permanently close that off.
- Using instructions here on PC, I turned off the annoying reverse beep! woot!

Still working on how to clean up the hazy headlights (been using baking soda, which worked a bit, but I'm cheap so I don't want to replace them or use expensive cleaners if I can avoid it).

 

Re: headlights, Harbor Freight sells a kit that you use with a drill for about $10. Does both headlights and takes about 20 min.

 

Deactivated the annoying Reverse Beep! Score! Now I only wish I could do that on the Gen III….

 

Dropped off at Dealer for Safety Recall C0U and C0T lol

 

I covered the blue egg with a generic car cover. Supposed to get 16"-18" of snow, so I'll be using my truck. Now, I'm trying to figure out my sound deadening needs. I'll probably put up a "help me decide" post soon.

 

Added K&N Cabin Filter! Love new products…. The air seems to flow better in the car too

 

Disabled traction control for fun in the snow today.

 

Sounds daring.

 

That's his middle name

 

I purchased MIchelin Defenders.

 

215/45/17 Falken Ziex for my RPF1's

 

Pictures?

 

The tires are here and hopefully Tuesday I'll get the TPMS swapped over and tires mounted.

 

Nice! I've convinced myself and hopefully soon my wife that I need the 19x8 35et RPF1s.. my 19s are just too heavy.

 

Friend of a friend has a set of 17x9 +20 in hyperblack chrome I've been dying to try on, I smart LOVE THAT FINISH


Also I need coilovers, I want to run some big boy 18's or 19's next.

 

Decided to remove the wheel covers…. WOW there was so much break dust under there….

 

Sound deadening/dampening project completed. Michelin Defenders installed. Foam pipes attached to grill for my short, chilly commute to work tomorrow.

 

What did you sound dampen? Tell a big difference?

 

Big difference! My project wasn't to accommodate an upgraded sound system; it was only to reduce road noise and rattling and general cabin overtones. While I am still aware of the engine, there is more of a comfortable hush in the cabin.

Doors ( inner and outer ) and spare tire area.

Before I had my music on my phone playing through and the phone volume would be exactly in the middle between loud and off, and the sound system in the car needed to be at around 37 for me to hear the music. Today I tested the music, and the sound system in the car needed only to be at 27.

It wasn't just the sound deadening alone, but the new tires also helped lower noise levels.

Big difference.
