What did you do with your DH Genesis today?

[carguy75]

Okay so I gave it a go and was able to remove the boot. However I couldn't remove the old shifter knob from the boot. Any tips would be helpful.

I use a large plastic panel tool with a pry curve to wedge in-between the gap where the boot touches the shift knob chrome trim bottom section. I then pry one side at a time until the boot popped off. However, I did not want to break the tabs holding the boot at the time because I was not sure the tabs were part of the boot or the shift knob.

You can also turn the boot inside out and try to use a pick tool to press the plastic tabs holding the boot inward to break the tabs to release them if you are not concerned about reusing the old shift knob. The tabs are attached to the knob shaft, so the boot will still be usable even if you break the tabs. This would be the quickest method.

Thank you. This is exactly what I needed. I was thinking the only solution to release the knob was breaking the knob tabs but wasn't sure if I was right lol.

Not perfect, but a hell of a lot better.

Been down with the flu since Thursday and I've been itching to clean up the car since I picked it up last Sunday. Played hooky from church as I'm still not tip top, but it was 70+ so I broke out the 2 buckets and gave Sade pt 2 her 1st real bath. I was limited on time so she didn't get the full treatment (clay bar, paint correction, polish, 2 layers of Z2, 2 layers of Z5, and some z-CS to top it off), she just got the wash, Zaino AIO and a layer of Z-CS. She needs a long once over with the clay, doesn't feel like it's ever been done. That will have to wait for the next nice, free day about a month or so from now. I miss my 2010 a bit, but I love the hell out of this 2016!

I took it for a ride and got her new shoes!

What Size And Brand Rims?

 

[MoonDoggy-X]

Looks like 20s. I am also very curious about the width and offset. That fitment is perfect!

Tires 255/35/20 and 285/30/20

Today....

Last night my rear passenger window came off track and got stuck in the open position. I woke up and drove straight to the dealership. Its warrantied of course, but they didn't have the parts. They got the window closed and disconnected the switch and I'll take it in when the parts arrive. I got there just before the rain hit!!!

It would look nicer on GT-F springs.

You read my mind! Almost bought some GT-S springs from someone on the site. I think those are too low for me. I'm ordering GT-F springs and gold caliper paint tonight. I'll grab some slotted and cross-drilled rotors when the current rotors are done.

Gave her the bath she was crying out for. She really needs a good paint correction, but I don't have time to break out the clay and spend the day on it. Maybe in the next few weeks I can get it knocked out.

Just bought my 2015 Genesis yesterday... drove it home in a downpour. Didn't get to drive much today since I worked, but it's really comfy for my 45 min commute to work. Loving the purchase so far!

Also, looking for mods for the car already, mainly looking at styling right now. Let me know what you have and any pictures of your car with them!

Congrats, you'll love it. All I have is wheels, tires, and Megan Racing coilovers.

Thanks, so for I'm loving it!

Car looks good! What color is that? Also, how do the coilovers change the feel of the ride?

Montecito Blue is the color. Still trying to dial in the coilovers, but the ride right now is pretty close to the factory struts.

Awesome color! I have the Parisian Gray, I ideally wanted the Empire State Gray, but this was the only one in my area that was a 5.0 for a good price.

Once I get some wheel I will have to look into coils then if you say it rides close to stock.

I had the empire state grey gen coupe before my sedan. Such a great color. Love the parisian as well.

Clean car man! I wish they made the coupe in the updated styling, I'd buy that asap! The Parisian is growing on me, going to get all of the chrome blacked out probably next month once I get back from vacation. Then start looking for some wheels.
