Notice, as evidenced in that picture, that said product doesn't help with wheel-gap. You'll still need additional items to do deal with that issue.

No worries, I'll apply some inside the wheelwell as well. It'll certainly minimize the wheel gap.

It says something that even though your car is dirty and "notoriously-hard-to-clean" black, it still looks awesome.

I did tell him in the GoPro thread to mount it to the oil pan.

It's so awesome. Vid quality is pretty amazing for the size of the device.

But the stock suction cup is too short to get a good angle inside the car. So, I'm trying to get this mount for it.

It will give me this angle:

Yeah, I know. But I'm going to enjoy my current set up for now. I'm perfectly satisfied with the way it handles. And the car pulls much much effortlessly since I cut down almost 30 lbs of rim weights.

I'll probably get the suspension set up after couple months when I feel the mod itchy again.

Aaron, guess you didn't see my post about meeting up with a bunch of MS3 NATOR guys last weekend. There was only one other MS6, all the rest 3s. Check out my thread for the cruise video.

Here's a link to all of us doing a fly by!

Sucks man. kitty. I ran a little kitten over last year after it rolled underneath the car in front of me. I had no time to react. Thankfully no damage on mine. Sucks your under tray is damaged but it could've been a lot worse.

I'm going to raise it a little more to make more clearance for cats and dogs.

Yeah, I thought I blew my tire because it was making terrible sound. Thankfully, it was just the HID ballast dangling outside.

I always made fun of my friends whenever they hit a cat on the street, but it really did happen in less than .5 second. It was dark outside, and this black cat just jumped out of this fairly small street. I had no time to react at all. Would've been nice to save the cat.. but it was just too late.
