Ask just about anyone you know who owns a car and they will tell you that routine maintenance and repair costs are the single, largest expense they have to pay for out of pocket on a yearly basis. As a result, a number of businesses have sprung up to offer extended service plans for vehicles that no longer have outlived the manufacturer’s auto warranty or were purchased from private sellers.
Unless you’re a gambler or incredibly wealthy you may want to seriously consider finding a reputable, after-market retailer of extended warranties and service plans. Even a minor fender bender can run into the thousands of dollars not to mention a seized engine or shot transmission so if you think you don’t have the cash to pay for the protection of a warranty or service plan now what will you do when you’re faced with a bill for hundreds of times that amount? Fortunately, if you’re still reading this we can assume you’re not yet in this position so act now and find an affordable, extended service plan for your vehicle today.
When you’re thinking of customizing your brake calipers you have a few options: you can purchase aftermarket replacements by big name brands like Brembo; you can pick up a set of inexpensive plastic imitations, you can purchase a set of covers from a company like MGP; or you can go the completely custom route with caliper paints from a trusted name like Dupli-Color. The real question is why would you choose paint when the other options seem to offer more or less the same results?
The video above is a great little video put together by the folks a Rvinyl and showcases the ABS brand of plastic calipers. As you can see, attractive as they are from a distance, they fail to add any protection to the calipers. In comparison, the Dupli-Color paint offers a variety of colors and may even protect against corrosion and rust.
As yo can see from the list of features, this paint can be used on just about any part of the brake unlike caliper covers or other aftermarket accessories. In the end, the caliper paint is far more versatile and protects the brakes in a way most other accessories cannot.
Okay, everyone know (or should know ) that you SHOULD NEVER OPEN YOUR DOORS WITHOUT LOOKING first but even when you take all of the necessary precautions and do all the right things you still can’t count on other people being quite as aware. That’s why we were impresed when we found tis simple, unobtrusive Car Hack at the following: http://www.lifehacker.com.au/2012/02/paint-the-inside-of-your-car-door-to-prevent-accidents/ So, what is it all about?
In the the Lifehacker post referenced above, they recommend painting the inside of the door but, if you look closely, you can see that the DIYer in question accidentally spray their interior as well. Luckily for all of us, self-adhesive vinyl wrap kits are the perfect solution to the dilemma. They are available in a variety of colors such as yellow, neon green and orange.
So, is this something you would do? Let us know and don’t forget that we offer a $20 instant rebate on all eligible photo submissions.
Nitrogen Filled TiresThere are a number of threads on the various automotive forums (Gearhead Central,Cheers and Gears, etc) and on the Rvinyl Blog about using N2 in your tires. There is evidence that it reduces deflation from seepage and can give you a 1% gain on MPG overall. These claims make some sense but just looking at the PTE you see that N has a weight of 7 and O has a weight of 8. These gases are diatomic so that means N2 weighs in at 14 and molecular oxygen at 16.From the weights at least it seems that oxygen might be the bigger molecule so it should seep less. Then again it’s been awhile so there may be more to this than meets the eye (think VSEPR theory).
…it turns out that I need to go back to school. For reasons that I won’t get into, diatomic nitrogen is a bigger molecule and can’t escape from inside the tire as easily. So, what are other potential benefits of using N2 in your tires? In short, they are as follows:
It’s clear that using nitrogen in your tires wheel save you money and heartache in the long run. And, according to Drew from Cheers and Gears, Costco offers standard inflation with 100% N2 and great warranties to boot so it’s not like you have to go anywhere exotic to take advantage of this low tech, high concept money saver. Happy Monday everyone!
