Tire Styling

[umbertob]

Well, something's gotta go. IIDTool, LLAMS and Johnson Rods do pretty much the same thing by manipulating your suspensions' height mechanically or electronically. The IIDTool can do so much more though, if I could have only one that would be my pick. LLAMS can't be beat for convenience, I use it all the time. The rods are sooo 2007, their saving grace is that they are cheap, but not that cheap for 4 sticks of metal with 8 rubber grommets. And driving lifted 2.5" full time, even without wear and tear consideration, doesn't do the handling of this heavy car any favors.

I guess I did just install some lamin-x headlight protection. The clear ones. My lights already started getting a few nicks and scratches, not sure from what, but I wanted to do that to protect them.

I love having flat, square headlights, makes that lamination stuff SO much more easy.

Can you post what you purchased? I would like to get some protection as well.

Gosh, our lists are similar - haha!

As Umberto pointed out, and he explained it to me as well previously, the IID Tool and LLAMS height controller do the same thing, but the LLAMS is more conveinent because it is hard wired in with a knob you can raise and lower the supension on the fly. The IID Tool does the same thing, but also clears codes, and has a lot of other capability. The nice thing about the bluetooth version is that it will be able to be upgraded with new features as they develop the application. I saw the IID Tool in action when I last went off roading and it was pretty cool. I have an e-mail from Patrick at Gap Diagnostics with ordering information if you want it - it's around $550.00 CAN. The bluetooth is cheaper right now because it is technically in beta testing.

I see the LLAMS and an alternative to the johnson rods if you want easy flexibility in your ride height.

the IIDT is more of a customization and troubleshooting tool for me. I think ill be ordering next week.

Lamin-x Headlight & Fog Light Covers

Got the clear ones.

They are very thick, so I think they will work fine. You get some hazing and bubbles on the install, but it has already almost completely gone away after a couple of days in even a cool garage. i think it will be hard to notice that they are on there.

I had a full clearbra on my G35, but no headlight covers. This time around im covering the lights and not the paint. I can just repaint the front after awhile and it will be cheaper than a bra. The bra is also a little harder to clean. So i really just wanted it for protection.

wowza... llams is $480.65 USD plus another $20 for shipping.

crap, not getting that right away. .... seriously.. ***

That's it? I thought it was closer to 600-650 bucks when I purchased mine several years ago.

I just got an email from them.

"The kit cost is A$540 plus A$20 for registered air-mail postage."

So, unless my conversion to USD is wrong...

 

[umbertob]

Sounds about right, it's probably the exchange rate that was far worse back then.

I was thinking it was a lot more expensive as well.... The IID Tool (for BT) is $550 CAN, which I think is like $520 something USD.

The IID Tool does a lot more than the LLAMS, but I really like the conveinence of the LLAMS - hmmm............. and it's less.
