Since you’re a big “light” guy, I’m surprised you didn’t mention those bulbs that look chrome/clear but light up orange for the rear turns. That’s one of my biggest pet-peeves on a car (orange bulb in a clear housing). And PLEASE don’t get the ones that look blue, there are ones that are chrome/“invisible.” Good luck with it ---

Thanks. I’m going to have to detail it a little better than Lia did and take some real pictures. Haven’t had the best chances due to weather, etc. to do so. Plus, I’ve never taken pictures of a black car before so I can’t rely on certain times of day like I did with the Gold Maxima. ---

Haha. Nope, pretty much mastered it already. Very easy to learn this car. Catch can is nothing more than preventive maintenance. It can’t hurt. Might not help any, but for $50 or whatever, it can’t hurt. Slotted rotors are just a bit better than regular (and don’t run the risk of breaking/cracking like drilled). This is a big car, need to have good brakes. ---
