    Honest input for clutch break-in period

    Hey gang, I was just hoping to start an honest discussion on the break-in period for these new beasts. Now, I am not claiming that after the first 5 miles jamming on the throttle and banging the gears is a terrible idea or even that it will cause minor damage. What I am interested in, is...

    Any tips for installing JLT bezels?

    Hey everyone. I just received the JLT bezels the other day... I have the 2 1/4 inch holes drilled (which was a nerve-racking moment) and I cannot get the bezels to "snap in." They are just a hair too large for the holes. I have tried freezing them, no luck. I tried trimming the holes...

    Massive amount of brake dust

    Do you guys notice a ton of brake dust builds up in a hurry with the OEM pads? I realize spirited driving and braking makes this worse, but I find my wheels are covered after 2 half hour trips. Is this par for the course?

    What do you guy recommend to paint protection?

    Hey everyone. I know there are products out there like Xpel's paint protection film. Anyone have any experience with their products or any other company's? My last car had about a dozen paint chips in it in barely 15K miles and I want to prevent this from happening to my current car.
