    Well...installed the TRZ "dogbone" rear MM today...

    Opinions are often difficult to sort out. When it comes to the TRZ mounts the opinions vary from "Holy s***...this thing is terrible! My car is loud as hell with this thing in!"...to "I love it!!! Those that complain about the noise are pussies!" I figured the truth would be somewhere in...

    Pearl White with Rallyarmor flaps installed (pics)

    Got my flaps on today... I was kind of fond of the look from the start but I was far more interested in ending the WWIII sound coming from under my car when driving down my road. The car just threw too much s*** up on the paint. I ordered the UR flaps and although I'm not 100% convinced they...
