Some long overdue updates:
- I discovered that one of my valves was seated improperly and the spring was getting seized against the actuator housing. This is what caused the right bias in the sound and the weird resonance. Properly seating the valve massivly improved interior accoustics

Hey guys. Looking for local examples of where people have put carbon on their cars, particularly areas like side skirts, front lips, and door garnishes. I’m interested in seeing some examples in person to get a better understanding of if they are worth it as a mod avenue to explore.
