I just did a set for my Outback is Rustoleum "Black Night Metallic". It's a dark, metallic silver. Once I get tires, I'll try and remember to get pics up here.

It doesn't even take overnight. When I got my new rotors, I washed them with soapy water to make sure there wasn't any gunk on them before I installed them. I was able to watch surface rust forming on them as the last bit of moisture dried off.

I'm sanding the gold off a set right now, to paint them a gun-metal(ish) color.

There isn't any such thing as a good RE92. Use this opportunity to put decent tires on your car.

I just don't open the window as far. Just enough to pull the smoke out. Having the HVAC fan on high would probably help with the "positive pressure".

Negative. Telling someone they'll have the item they paid for in about a week, then jerking them around for a month? If he didn't have the item in hand, ready to box and ship, he shouldn't have even listed it until he did.

Just because new struts will push up saggy springs doesn't mean they're designed to do that. It'll wear out your new struts faster.

Other than the battery seeming to die quickly once in a while, I haven't had an issues with my Razr. Then again, I just use it as a phone, not for a camera, or internet access or any of that. I can't remember the model of the LG that I had, but I don't that that was it. Hopefully, you'll have a bett...

I had an LG, it was a piece of crap. Hated it. Dropped calls all the time, poor signal reception. I have a razr now, and it gets good signal in places the LG would say "No Service".

While I've personally never seen it happen, I have heard that it can. Knowing that the service procedure to set one off (why you'd want to I don't know) says to wear eye and ear protection, I wouldn't take the chance in my car. Surely, you can easily find a steering wheel you like that doesn't have ...

You should be able to get to it from the top.

Not sure what's wrong with the old, but I've had better luck with just replacing the contacts in the starter solenoid than with buying aftermarket reman units.

Get a spray bottle, fill it with water and a little (few drops or so) dish soap. Spray the entire tire, including the bead area, and the valve stem. (take the cap off) Watch for the bubbles to point out the leak. I've seen lots of alloys corrode in the bead area giving slow leaks. It can be cleaned ...

In your opinion maybe. To pretty much everyone else, it's pretty clear which part's the caliper and which part is the bracket. In some cases, Subaru uses the same caliper, with a different bracket to fit different size rotors. But yes, if you're selling them to someone looking to upgrade, the calipe...
