Happy to have heated seats :)

My last 3 cars didn't have heated seats, I'm sure my wife's glad to not hear me complaining about not having them anymore! But my last 2 cars did have the heated steering wheel...she might hear me complain about not having that now :ROFLMAO:

Yesterday I tried fitting some knockoff Rays 57 series centercaps...they might fit with some filing on the backside, there's 2 tabs I think need removed and then it "might" fit. But I didn't want to risk it bc then I couldn't return them.

I might try again later if I find something else that I think might work. I'm not crazy about the NISSAN centercaps or the Z ones either.

I definitely wish it had a heated steering wheel too lol. My frontier has it and it was something I didn't care about when I got it but after having one, man they are nice!

I like the Z ones but these look good too. Post pix if you make it work!

You don't realize how nice they truly are until you don't have it anymore, that's for sure!

So I got a set of these from Amazon for like $28 shipped. The pen is pointing to the tab I think needs filed off. There's 2 of them 180° apart. What's holding me back is I need a pair of dial calipers bc I think the overall OD is minutely larger than the wheel opening. The caps snap in perfect if you install it backwards from the inside of the wheel. So that means the clip spacing and diameter is perfect. I just didn't want to waste $28 incase filing the tab off didn't work.

Also these caps come in chrome, black chrome, and black with either a red or a blue logo. Since my car is yellow, I wasn't sure which color combo, if any, would work.

I drove it in the snow yesterday and when the ice melted off it, I woke up to a filthy car today. So I took it to the car wash and gave it a bath, I didn't want to use my hose and have MY pipes freeze lol

Installed the Boosted 6 Carbon ducktail a few weekends ago. Getting the old one off was fun :crazy:

Also amazing how much crud had already collected under the factory wing.

All in all a nice bit of kit and great quality.

How did you break the two sided tape? I heard fishing line helps.

For $28, dremel those tabs off. The center bore holes are straight front to back. You already checked and it works on the inside. Only reason it fit in the back cus of the beveled backside of the hole and tabs arent in the way

Again, not to the Z but because of it, I made myself a helmet bag.

It’s one way to stay off the streets.

Great idea. Im stealing this. I been using the sock the helmet came it. Carrying by the drawstring sucks lol
Is that a bowling ball bag?

How did you break the two sided tape? I heard fishing line helps.
You answered your own question. Fishing line works for all double sides adhesive.

I use a hair dryer to heat up the tape in sections. I been doing it this way for yrs and makes the fishing line cut through like butter
