Thanks guys, I been trying to find a good spot to install a flush mounted mic without it being too noticeable. After testing it out and with some feedback, it would be ideal to have it as close to the driver as possible. I have to speak a little loud for them to hear me clearly, maybe it doesn't help that my exhaust is very loud overall i am satisfied. i just feel bad that they have to listen to my obnoxious exhaust, most callers describe the noise as a soft buzzing noise lol. maybe a better quality mic that can block out unwanted noise will help

Thank you! Rear camber is at -2.5 with zero toe and had my rear fender pulled a little. also to clear things up, i am running the re11a only on the regas. TE and RG has my beater federal tires that is a inch smaller in width. You should be fine with that wheel and tire set-up with fenders rolled flat just depends on height and camber. can't wait to see the meaty fitment!

Fantastic build, man.

Damn...I wish i'd have heard about the DOMs unit before upgrading the radio. Although I love it, I would have kept the cost down and kept the oem head unit in.

Thank you, The Grom unit is awesome, especially for android user. Sometimes it can be finicky with the dash controls just have to reset the bluetooth! other than that highly recommended
