I've done one or two other airbags before and I always treat them like IEDs. My dumbass did nearly bust my face when bopping the old wheel off. It was taking a pounding and finally, I went in for the kill shot double fist bop right toward my face and sure enough the wheel smacked my upper lip missing my nose by 1/2". Hurt a little but no bloodshed. I felt pretty stupid, should have left the nut on 2 threads or so.

Looks way nicer. Probably too nice for the likes of you Floridian.

You should fix the crack and flock it.

A buddy and I were talking about flocking a year or so ago for his supra, those dashes crack pretty bad and are super rare. Idk if I like the look tho, I feel like it would get dirty and be difficult to clean. Also, not sure if they make a tan that would match, and black on tan would look super ghetto IMO.

Yeah I think it can look cool in certain instances but definitely not my favorite thing overall. I feel like it would be a massive pain in the *** to keep clean for sure. **** I'm thinking about getting suede seats for the RZR and I am worried about them holding all the dust in and being a pain in the dick to clean.

Suede in the RZR would be STUPID. I had them in my charger and while they kept you in place, maintaining them wasn't easy. Couldn't imagine in an RZR.

They call it a "microfiber finish Alcantara" material but everything I have seen it looks like suede.

I really wanna go with a pair of Sparco's but I just can't justify 1700$ for seats in the toy.

The vegan finish must be what makes them easier to clean.

Long first crank but starts instantly after the second crank, no lean conditions, no strange driving characteristics, WOT is still mid 12s AFR at 80%DC. Is my fuel pump dying?
