I took the shrink off of mine, and then used nail polish remover and made it silver

It fits in the car easier, And looks a lil better

Bear if you are using a spool the best option is to use the Hot Bodies Steel HD unis up front, the stock aluminium ones can then be used in the rear of the car.

the Orion 4800 fits but it's kind of tight. I shaved mine after being a holdout as well.

Not yet. When that happens to me is usually tweak or uneven droop at the front
