    Best LEDs for my Aries Bull Bar?

    So i noticed my Bull bar has 2 hold for two lights or a light bar. What do you guys suggest? I looks like it would be a challenge tightening those from down below given the almost zero space to get something in there to tighten the lights. I have the Aries 3". I see on their site they have...

    Plasti Dip on Mufflers

    Would Plasti Dip be able to take the heat from the mufflers? I had my magna flows installed a year ago and they are starting to show rust sports when your looking from the rear and I would love to make them black to match the car....but not sure if this would hold up

    Remote start and unlock/lock only working from a very close distance

    So lately with both keys, I have to be within 20 ft of the Ex to remote start it. I use to be able to start it from the living room as I have street parking and it could be at the end of the block. I replaced one battery and it still doesn't work like it use to. I am going to replace the other...

    Strange noise coming from engine/transmission

    So lately within like 2 weeks i have noticed this oscillating noise at 80 MPH but now i notice it or hear it at lower speeds as well. It's really hard to explain but it sounds as if it's the engine and it only happens or you really hear it when your foot is on the gas...when off the gas it...

    I can't be the only one when is traveling in the left lane...every 2/4 to maybe 3/4 in front of me pull over immediately and brake. And it's not like i tailgate them. They see the front and think in the mirror and go "**** statie" But it probably depends on the area. Here in MA 75% are...
