I too was getting 50MPG. But with the engine off. I suppose that's the most inefficient

They're 245/35r20 in the front, 285/30r20 in the rear. I'll be putting some small spacers in the front to bring the tire to the fender, and I have a set of coilovers waiting to go in. I'm trying to study installation, so I can avoid paying $800+ to have a shop do them.

Wow! I'm jealous! And your gauge does go the other way, weird. I wonder if that screen is 'programmable' since it is just a digital display. I wish I had the LCI models with the blackout style gauge cluster.

Man, I wish I did too. Though, they make a retrofit for 6WB (Full digital) that I really like.

Curious, does the chrome door trim pop out of the door handles? I want to wrap them and I think it'll look a lot cleaner just popping them out. I don't wanna put a panel popper down there and end up breaking the plastic if they're not meant to come out.

Same with the side marker housings, though these I can pretty much guess are meant to come out.

there's a DIY for the side markers but i just wrapped my door trim without popping them out but I'm actually going to redo them in carbon fiber on my next day off

Yea, that's probably what I'll do tonight.
