That was my first thought but there isn't much near me.

My aftermarket mufflers have taken a toll on me and I've decided to go back to stock. Anyone have a pair they'd be willing to sell?

New plan, I'll be making a custom trunk panel (right behind third row) to mount the speakers. Can the stock stereo handle the load of two more speakers? Anyone have any advice for popping off the back door panels to get access to those speaker wires?

The other guys can confirm, but it sounds like all you need to do is swap the module out for one equipped with navigation.

Cody, have you tried this yourself? I tested Goof off on an old set of lights from another car and the lights were completely ruined afterwards. It definitely removed the tint, but the plastic was in really bad shape after. It may be possible to buff out the effects but I would really not recommend it on our lights unless you're willing to dish out $400 for a set of lights.

Thanks for the info Evlmarine. I'll keep this in mind next time I screw up my tint job lol.

Yours looks pretty good. Did you end up clear coating and polishing?

I keep my second row seats folded down almost all the time because the headrests rattle inside their clips. Anyone else have this issue? I tested a few other DJ's on the lot at my dealership and they all make the same noise, but I didn't really get noticeable for me until about 10K miles. Just curious if I'm the only one who has noticed.

Carritt, here are some pics. Just a bent piece of sheet metal riveted to the original shield.

Carritt I did the same thing, and added a bit of sheet metal to make a good seal with the hood when closed. I don't care what anyone else says, I struggled to get more than 17mpg before I put the intake on. Now I consistently get close to 20, and when I went on a long trip mostly highway driving I saw around 27mpg. Just my $0.02.

Brought my car into the dealership for an odd sound coming from my front suspension late last fall. It started as a knock or popping sound coming from the passenger side front suspension only when braking and turning at the same time and only coming to a stop (like coming to a stop sign where I needed to make a turn). The dealer drove it for 2 days and spent an hour under the car and couldn't find anything loose or hear the noise, and I lost $100 for that. Since then it has gotten worse and its now tough to tell what side of the vehicle it's coming from, but it no longer just happens when turning. I hear it at every stop light/sign I come to. I'm sure this is really vague, but I'm open to any suggestions. I haven't been in for the ABS recall yet, but the car seems to drive and stop just fine and I'm not getting any lights for traction/braking systems. Any thoughts on what it could be?

Car is a '13 SXT 3.6 AWD

Doesn't look like anyone is following this, but I'll post anyway...

Looks like speakers can only be installed on the driver side in the trunk as the passenger side is filled with what looks like an air blower for the back A/C (can anyone confirm what this is?). It would make sense that models with the upgraded stereo only have one sub because of this. In any case, I will likely be making a new cover for the storage bin in the trunk with two 6x9's recessed. If anyone cares, I'll post up when this is done.

I know the speaker baffles are fakes in the back, and some cars have a sub behind one of them in the trunk, has anyone installed speakers back there? I have a spare set of 6x9's that I want to mount there, I'm just curious to see how others have done it. From what I could tell, there are no speaker wires and there is no framing there to mount them on, so I'd have to come up with both of those.

Thanks bramfrank. I'll keep this in my favorites in case I need it in the future.

I wish I knew why but this problem has gone away shortly after I posted. Thanks everyone for your help, hopefully this doesn't come back.

Unfortunately, my warranty just expired last month. I haven't tried the radio yet but I would imagine it would do the same thing. I've never been behind the stereo, what's the best way to get to those connectors? Do I need to pull the center stack out? Not sure if it makes a difference but I have the 8.4 head unit

My gut says the tranny won't last long. I would look into what it can safely run power wise. FWD or AWD?

Just got back from a New Year's trip and I hit a big pothole on the way home. Ever since this happened, my stereo has started skipping tracks anytime I hit a bump. This happens in both SD card and Bluetooth mode, and I can make it do it by hitting the dash just to the right of the screen. Has anyone else experienced this?

That's pretty sweet. Do you find the location to be awkward when using navigation?

So it sounds like this would not be a simple wiring job, but one would have to swap out the LED modules as well? Damn, I was really hoping this would be easy.

I don't have experience with this but I've heard a single in dual out muffler will have less drone that two singles because the sound waves will cancel out somewhat. You can try bringing the tails out a bit from the back end or going with a slanted outlet pipe to direct the exhaust away from the car more.

I am planning to put in a glasspack where the resonator was. I am aware glasspacks are notoriously loud, but I would think they should be quieter than the straight pipe I'm using now. I'm thinking this will still give the tone I want but quiet the exhaust down a bit. For $40 and an hour or two, worth investigating.

How involved is the Diode Dynamics install? I actually saw a non-LED model with this type of turn signal last week and thought it looked a bit strange, but I do agree the incandescent bulb looks more out of place

Interesting. I haven't seen Cody's post on this, but I would think you should be able to disconnect the lights current power source and jumper the positive connections from the other brake light. I could be completely wrong but in my head it sounds pretty good. Are there any wiring diagrams available for these cars?

I'm looking to replace the stock amber bulbs with red ones. Does anyone know what the replacement bulb would be? I see a lot of LED's, but these can't be swapped in without some kind of relay or resistor right?

It doesn't look to me like the inner "ring of fire" lights above the b/u lights do much of anything. Has anyone considered wiring them up to come on with the outer brake lights?

I haven't experience this myself, but I have been advised to stay away from direct drop in LED's as they get hotter than standard bulbs and can melt connectors. Those look great though, and I hope I'm wrong!

I spent some time this weekend removing the remaining VHT Niteshades. I had a small set of lights I had tinted a while back way too dark, so these were perfect to test on.

First I tried mineral spirits. This did absolutely nothing. So I moved onto Good-off. This works great, but really dulled the lights and seemed to almost eat the plastic on the backside of the reflector. I'm glad I used this on a set of junk lights first as my DJ lights would've definitely been ruined. There are many videos of people using Goof-off to get VHT off and it works, but it will ruin your lights!

I decided to take a much safer approach with my actual tail lights since the LED version cost nearly $150 per light (ridiculously expensive). This is the passenger reverse light before doing anything.
