O shoot my bad! You know I don't really remember because I got me off eBay as a rotor / pad combo.... Not as good as stock brembos pads but last a long time and no brake dust which is a huge plus!

Reeeally not a fan of the Type S badge on the quarter panel like that. Looks so tacky and out of place. On a lighter note, those wheels are nice. There's an NBP TL on AZ that has the same setup.

Hey Guys Haven't been on here in a while but had a quick question. Whats the best Offset for a Set of 18s for our cars? I am looking for a Staggered look so 18x8.5 front and if possible 18x10 rear. I have 20's with this Staggered width so I figured I could pull it off in 18"s as well. Im just a little Thrown off on the best possible offset to buy them in. Im going 18" for a more comfortable ride and a lower drop.

Looking to getting some VarrsToen 2.2.2 in Cobalt Blue (Picture Below)

Sorta Noob question for the rim experts... Does anyone know if a 18x9.5 rim with 48mm offset will fit a UA7 and clear the Brembos?

If not, would I need a 10mm spacer or 15mm?

I am running 18x8 with +32 offset and they sit flushish if that helps. Not running staggered though.

And ordered iSimple cable.

Got a new truck for work so gonna put a pioneer avh-p3400bh?? in it. looking at the different models still unsure which one to get.

Cuban: those visors look clean. Subtle changes on these cars really change their attitude.
Looking good.

Oh ok. I'm looking to pick up a set with a bit more offset I wanted to make sure they would clear the brakes. Well thanks for at least chiming in.

Cool I ordered pre-cut window tint and some vent visors for my work pickup (2012 F350 supercrew) and must say the tint went on rather well. This was my 2nd attempt at tinting and the pre cut made it very simple. Not sure how the end result in a couple days will look but we will see.
The window visors I cut some on the front to get them installed the way I wanted them to look but they were pretty cheap ones def. not like the ones for my TL.
Took about an hour and a half to do all this ^

Also installed the iSimple today and that makes a huge difference. It was nice installing in the trunk. Found a gap between rear seat and side wall near rear pass door to bring in the cable and a hacked up clothes hanger later cable inside car. Pulled the side panels and ran cable down through that and under rear pass carpet and brought up under center console which wasn't that hard to get out surprisingly.

Cut a very small gap in the bottom cover and also tightened up the e-brake a couple notches (hard to get 7 clicks 4 locks very nice) and brought the ipod connect up through factory cut-outs. I kinda want to do a more stealth hidden ipod install and leave my nano in the car but for now this will do.
Install took a little over an hour because its 101 degrees out right now.

The steering wheel up control cycles through repeat options???? but seems to work well. I haven't played with it very much. Just and install test and put everything together.

Dipswitch 2 is in down / on position all the rest in up / off.

Will play with it more.

Got a pioneer avh-p4400bh coming for my work truck along with an xm modulator and rear camera so that will be installed next week. Gonna do some custom stuff to that as well so I can have 2 aux jacks in my dash for when I plug my laptop into radio to play movies over truck speakers.
Will be upgrading front speakers adding rear speakers and probably a 4 channel small amp to the mix. I had 125 hours last week and probably 80 of those hours were driving or sitting in my pickup waiting. Figured I would treat myself to a nice reasonable setup.

Gonna be a hot ass summer.

i did the isimple install last weekend too, the thing is great to have control now. the up button is the repeat details, but if you hold it, it will beep and change the song. you can also use the tune knob to advance the song. i did the same exact routing as you, trunk through the hole, along side pillar, under the rear seats, and under rear carpeting to the center console. very clean install. it's also nice to use it as an aux and control the ipod directly if i need to find a certain artist but i can still change songs...good product!
