At least it isn't on the side wall.
I just replaced a tire due to nail in the side wall and cost me over $500 CAD.
These tires are not cheap!

Finally got the Steeda springs installed today.


Stock is the top photo, it's not the easiest to see the difference in these, but the front wheel gap shows it for sure

I've had 3 of those in less than 2 years. First was near sidewall and had to be replaced under road hazard warranty at just 4,000 miles. The last 2 in the past 5 months. One was plugged and the one this week I had to buy for over $300 at the dealer. UGH! 20,000 miles and 3 tire punctures!

I also received a set of these black “ST” badges from the ST Experience. What are they for? No one talked about them...just found them in the backpack when we got home?

Please advise. Thanks.

The black ST badges indicate that you have attended the ST Experience.

I Ordered the AFe CAI and about to order the FenFab downpipes. I really want an exhaust on it but wife said she doesn't want it loud. So may just try the downpipes with stock exhaust and then change out the factory tips. Oh well she doesn't want it really modded but its her vehicle. I just bought a low mile TBSS to play with so I have another AWD to mess with.

I never liked the plastic tabs to hook the cargo divider to. There is already a lower tie down..just repaced the tabs up above.

the downpipes will obliterate the stock mesh flex pipes within weeks so you will need to replace at least those while you are messing with the exhaust

Swapped out my ST badges today while the weather was nice.

Now she's changed her mind on that too.... so I just ordered a custom cam for my TBSS lol.

Oh really..I'm getting the common rattle from the stock flex pipes and waiting on SPD downpipes to ship which should hopefully be today.
I want to change out the stock flex pipes as is so you're saying once the DP's are on the rattling noise will get even worse?
I found new mesh flex pipes from Vibrant..anyone use these?

Took delivery yesterday afternoon and didn’t do a proper inspection … my coworker (he has a 2020 XLT) spotted the no roof rail molding was popping up on the right rear. ‍


Tried to bang it back in and ended up with this … red arrows are where the clips broke, the broken clips fell when I opened the trunk. I was wondering what the hell was on my driveway floor this morning.
Purple is a clip that broke off that I tried to gorilla glue back in, but it snapped off again when I tried to install the piece.

I ended up using zip ties to tie the piece (thru the holes) to the base of the right trunk strut.

Also, right side no roof rail molding was loose in the middle. I used a plastic pry bar to get it onto the little clips.

Dealer would not fix? Seems really close to delivery and not an easy place to damage. Just wondering.
