My Beef w/ 2.4's

After finally pimping mine out and getting everything perfect.... ANOTHER ****** CENTER CAP FALLS OUT



I just picked up my replacement front center cap like 2 days ago too... now im going to have to go back in to chevy.

They always tell me that its not covered under warranty so i have to bitch at the manager for an hour trying to prove to him there is no way for me to pop the damn cap off without removing the wheel.

funny how they make the center caps with little plastic prongs to hold them in but nothing for the prongs to latch on to so they actually stay.

cant wait to get some after market rims so i dont have to deal with this **** lol

Epoxy!

When it comes time to take out your tires, who does it? The dealer does! So, if they damage them while taking off the wheels, they have to replace it! So, Bust out some 2-Part Epoxy and adhere away!

Had to use super glue on the top of my shift knob because it fell off. They used the same kind of plastic prongs.

I took it in and got a new shifter. The shifter i got has a different top too. There is more black around the gray part and the black isnt gloss.
