What did you do to your Gen7 today?

[CrazyCreashunz]

Thanks Tim, I tried the Kenwood website and they gave me a list of shops in my area that are authorized for Kenwood. I will try and call them directly to see if I get something directly through them though...

Just got back from AutoZone. Had to buy F/R brake pads FTW... all of a sudden im on the Henry Hudson heading to the Bronx and im sqeauling like crazy. Took it to a shop and they removed the tires and bam my pads are low. Im glad tomorrow show got moved to next week cuz now tomorrow morning I gotta replace my pads. $124 spent outta nowhere!

Temporary door ding defense system. Making great progress man!

Just replaced F/R brakes... it boggles my mind to understand how the driver side rear wore down to nothing while the pass. Side rear still had 1/4 of the pad left. My fronts both had 1/4 of the pad left as well.

Well all is good now, the damn squeaky noise is gone now...

Gave the ride a nice wash.

Degreased my engine. Going to shine it up later today. I'll post up pics. My wifes engine bay is BAD, I'll throw up before and after pics, you will be amazed.

Cleaned my interior as well. Nothing like a good leather cleaning, I love how you can slide on the leather after it's cleaned.

Probably a stuck caliper.  You should have it checked out.  If it's stuck, you're just going to keep eating through pads on that one wheel.

Good to know Tim, thanks!

couple days late, but ripped out my HID kit, went back to stock.. and swapped my CF hood out for my stock hood, on saturday morning

went to the exhaust shop (the main one before the branched out 2 more locations) and got a quote. while it still wasnt as i thought it would be, i was a little more at ease since she was helpful and heard me out what i wanted to do rather than just say "i dont know til i get it in the air and it might be 200 and up." she said it may cost give or take 300 bucks to do the y-pipe and installing of the mufflers. but first she will have to see if i have any clearance but looking at Tim's photos, it should be good.
 
i usually wouldnt complain about price or anything, i agree you get what you pay for. but id be willing to pay extra for that customer service.

Just got THE HULK back from the shop.. looks new .. no more dents nor discoloration of the clear coat.. no more black rain guards nor black sideskirts.... photos will be up tomorrow... new leather and new paint... feels and looks like a new car...

I actually contacted the dealer and explained to them what was happening and they said to bring my ride in and they will inspect and if needed replace the caliper that might be stuck causing my pads to wear down so rapidly on the DS rear. Im actually covered for this so it will not cost me a dime! Holla... Gotta get what you can fixed for free before that warranty runs out, I got 13,000 more miles to go before I hit the big 100,000 mark!

Back OT: Cleaned the ride up a bit after yesterday's rain and enjoyed a non squeaky ride in it today...

most likely. had same problem after rear brake upgrade couse caliper got stuck on controll arm. had to grind off some braket that holds emergency brake, maybe 1-2mm if that

also check your wheels for brake dust. if one has more then other all the time then its clear indication that something is wrong, thats how i noticed problem with mine

More body work on my car.  Finished shaving the driver's side moldings and fixed a small dent that has been in the rear door on that side.  Here's the pics of the progress from tonight.











Look!  It's a boat!!!!








Here's a few better pics of my shaved the trunk too.

Looking good Tim! Come do mine next. My paint is terrible, it just keeps getting worse and worse. I just don't want to pay what seems like super inflated prices, $1000 to paint the hood and blend fenders.

OT: I finished putting back to black on all of my trim. Looks much better now, just hope it lasts.
