Kinda off topic but just wanna throw it out there (just dont wanna start a new thread) and I know there is a lot of threads/topics that been posted about this, and I still cant come up with a right answer.
Okay so ive researched and read about a lot about UR lightweight stock diameter pulleys.
I currently have one installed, but every time I drive, always jump into conclusion that it is not a good thing for the engine in long run. My left side engine mount half way ripped, and since I installed the pulley, noticed more vibration when idling.
Its a good hp release for $180 but just not sure if its a good thing in long run.
So what you guys think... keep or remove?

well naturally you would have more vibration while idling right now cause your mount is ripped...and i dont think the pulley would have caused it to rip...its funny you ask this question cause i was just putting one of those on my xmas list ay the moment...lol..i was thinking about going for the smaller one though

Yeah I've heard good things about Shadowspeed too.

Looking good KJ 3G TL I'm jelly of your low mileage.

ebelp, the white pops well

vladkarnafel, I wouldn't trust them and have heard/read arguments on both sides of the fence. But IMO, it can't help the longevity of the engine.

I just ordered one from ebay vendor "aaa.motor". I did some searching, and they were the only place that had the style I wanted and had WDP as one of their available paint codes. One vendor told me they could not offer WDP because it would be too hard to match, and other vendors don't even list NH603P as an option. We'll see how mine turns out. It was 1/3rd of the price of the Sarona/ATLP, so I can't complain.

Thanks. I'll have to give it a proper photoshoot later on hehe. Word to the wise...don't install stickers in cold weather. When I pulled off the clear backing layer, it left a film of glue on the lettering which is a huge PITA to get off. It was 40 degrees outside when I did it. Should've warmed it up with a heat gun...

Please keep us updated on your roof spoiler. I also have WDP and been looking for one with good quality.

Just use a small screwdriver or a butter knife and carefully pry the clear plastic covers off. Easy as pie.

well map lights are turned on to give light and see... doesnt the red beat the purpose of that? I had hyper white, 12 led board in each, now have warm white 12 led boards in each, like the super brightness, matches well with my led white fender markers/switchbacks and cold cathode plate lights

No, some people buy them for looks, not functionality. I have 6k white, and I think it's a perfect mix of form and function.

Thanks! I'm guessing the pending will go thru, so I'll be glad to go by #85.

I'd be interested to see if mine is the lowest mileage too, I bet some others have some nice low mileage ones as well. Although its nice to see people hitting 100K and going strong, makes me know I can enjoy this car for years and years to come!

Now time to read through some more of this thread, I'm sure theres a lot of good info in all these pages!
