Yesterday I stopped in and got 20% put all the way around. Yes the car is dirty and needs a serious bath but with all the rain we've been having and a baby, I don't have a lot of free time. Will get it spiffed up in the next few days and then post up more angles of the tint. Also got 255/45/20 tires installed about 2 weeks ago.

Spent about 30 minutes wrapping my mirror in clear vinyl to protect it from further rock chips and paint damage. I have never done vinyl in my life so I don't think it turned out bad at all. I had a little trouble with this corner as it's in a tight location and curves back under. But other than what's shown here, all the other edges are perfect. I don't think it's too bad for a 1st attempt. Next is to do the other mirror and if I feel comfortable enough, I'll wrap the bumper.

It was still pretty tight. But I've had enough turbo cars to know what a small boost leak feels like......it's definitely better with it capped.

Absolutely! I've had mine capped for 8 months now and just to test it I haven't touched it once and still tight as day one!

I remember when I test drove the car and I popped the hood. My first thought was, that looks like a boost leak. Lol

It could be due to the gas you use. Here's a YouTube video from 2011. The prices aren't accurate but I'm sure the quality in the fuels hasn't changed much, if at all.. For the most part, I stick with Shell V Power and BP 93 octane.

Speedway looked really good up in NY when they started buying out all the Hess stations, then I saw the only have the bare minimum detergent limit required by law. They'd probably have less if they could. Smh

I ping pong between Costco, BP, Shell and Exxon. Known stations only.

This might also be an opportunity to follow in and test out SHOnUup's treads ... Add MMO to the fuel tank, the occasional Amsoil PI, etc ...
