I got in touch with Helios and they said the stripping involves chemicals only, the inner rim detail would not be affected. They also said they would repair wheel damage (I didn't ask, they brought this up on their own) though that would be extra cost.

I know this is a fate every vehicle will suffer eventually, but I am curious and a mildly worried what happens when we are looking at when Trinity GT500s approach what is considered "old" in age, or around two decades I'd wager. The Bilstein Damptronic shocks incorporate electronics and aren't...

This might be an odd question, but this concerns if you have PP package wheels and you send them to Helios to re-finish them - do the unique nodules used to grip the tire bead on the PP package rim survive the stripping process? I just wonder if a physical process like sanding would damage or...

I know I'm a few months late, but I saw this and breathed a sigh of relief. I was pondering on getting a set of new OE PP Wheels from a Ford dealer, and it was going to run up to around $4,400 CDN.

So this isn't my exact switch assembly, but the shock button light that is supposed to come on when the head and tail lamps are turned on has burnt out, or the shock button in between the launch control and steering mode buttons. As far as I know, the button still performs the function of...

I think when his colon cancer was detected it was already at stage 3, which has about a 40% cure rate. The movies and projects he made during the past four years (along with appearances such as on SNL) he did likely knowing there was the possibility they maybe his last.

I think the refurbished part is my issue, if they were re-painted or finished, I doubt they would match, which is an issue as I probably don't need a complete set of wheels but just a couple to replace the rashed wheels. I don't know if the wheels are out of production yet, if that is the case...

Wheels have seen a bit of wear and tear, a few Internet searches have said there is no paint code for the wheels and almost no one that has taken the wheels to be repainted have gotten anywhere close to a color match. I may consider buying a new set of OE wheels, but I can't figure out exactly...

Not sure if anyone follows his Youtube channel, most car he rips apart but surprisingly he liked it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Oo9R7THV3I

I've been on automotive forums since about 1999, I've seen this happen over and over again with regards to someone buying something from an aftermarket supplier or service provider: - Customer purchases goods or services, months later it appears the customer is not going to receive what he...

Summary: about 100 years from now, the US attacks Canada and occupies it. The story starts about 12 years after the attack (year 2112), and focuses on Canadian guerrillas fighting against the American forces. The comic is oddly enough written by American Brian K. Vaughan (with influences from...

Couldn't figure out why my phone or iPad wasn't charging, unplugged my power strip and found this.
