Same for my wife and teenage daughters. I am glad they are careful and not reckless (like I was as a teenager), but I want them to enjoy it a bit more.

Tried to download and install the GM SDK again to see if they added new capabilites, you know, just thinking maybe I could write that Torque lookalike native app I always wanted.

No dice, their SDK installer doesn't work at all, referencing an URL (bitbucket.gm.com) that doesn't even exist, documentation is practically useless. What a mess.

I'll try again in a few months or years, I guess

Jumped into Forza Horizon 5 and did it up for you. You can't add the factory high spoiler in the game so this was the closest thing to it. Doesn't look too bad at all actually.

mmm, as a nearly 52 year old, I need to fire up Horizon 5 & do that

Thanks for that! You are right, It doesn’t look too bad at all. Keeping them clean would be a nightmare.

I peeled of the mirror PPF(it did it's job, no paint damage but the PPF is) and the shop quoted .75-1 hours of labor for just the top piece on the mirror installed, over $between $100-130

I can buy the bulk piece from Xpel for $12, then just set the old piece on the new and cut it to the right size

Now I get to see how long this really takes. I can try so poorly I ruin 9 pieces and can still come out ahead!

Get it right the first time and sell the other five sets for $10 a set, money in the bank

Was getting ready to leave Walmart and the thermostat gauge went to full cold, CEL and fans running after shut off. Unplugged the battery for 30 minutes when I got home and back to normal.

Wonder if it’s the battery or thermostat.

Probably not the battery... here are a couple of threads for reference:

So about a month ago I had painted my factory black brembo calipers to red using C2 caliper paint. I really never liked the way they came out. The red just didn't seem deep enough, it looked to washed. I ponied up and bought 4 new red ones from gmpartsdirect.com and had the dealer swap them out. These new factory ones look soooo much better. The red is much deeper and really pop. Very satisfied with the result.

Looks great! They pop with the shark, you need to get some smoked or clear, side markers to clean everything up
