Nice truck RED04

Anyone know where you can get stuff painted carbon fibered? I want to add some stuff inside the truck but the plastic will stand out with everything else being carbon fiber.

there's a guy in Weeki Wachee or Homosassa Florida i didn't get his name or number (my bad) but i met him at a car show once and he told me that he did all the painting of the Regency parts....the only reason that i can say that he's being honest is because i saw the work on his cobalt SS & it was the same pattern to the T hope it helps!!

sounds like a pinion bearing to me. did you put the gm additive in the rear end lube?

usually a high pitch noise is a bearing failing, in my experience. might want to have it checked out, cuz it could cost you a ring and pinion.

well i'm actually thinkin it could either be in my rear or it could be my power steering pump cause when i start the truck from cold i hear the same whine till i turn the wheel & it goes away so idk i've got a warranty on labor so i'll just say i heard some b.s. noise & run it back there
