When you inject temporary fillers for acne scars do you perform it in the same manner as injecting silicone using micro injections? Does that help the filler stay in longer. Also when you inject a filler how deep do you go into the skin? Do you reach the dermis?
Thanks, I know a lot of questions

Is there an alternative to Brewers yeast?
Is there?
I know this is very very strange, but brewers yeast exacerbates my connies (severe) sweet itch. I've tried twice - one year he was on Total Eclipse and we ended up discussed pts from the itching. Then a few years ago I tried it again, suspecting but not convinced it was the BY (on its own this time) - again an increase of itching that reduced once the BY was removed. I use BY for my other horses and think its great.
Niki x
Would the yea sac be a suitable alternative?
I am careful with the brewer's yeast - if I inhale any of the dust I sneeze and wheeze, and if I get it on my hands I have a real itchy tiny lumps reaction to it.
I don't react like that to the yea sac - but then it is a coarser powder and less easily inhaled.
Not to rain on the parade of those on here who swear by BY, but...
I don't see much value in BY. It probably won't hurt (except in your case it seemingly does), and other levels of "goodies" in it (such as trace minerals and B vitamins) are actually very low. I wouldn't consider it as a full mineral supplement, personally. Yea sacc is the only yeast that I'm aware of that has been proven to be beneficial for fibre digestion.
So, if you are feeding BY to support gut function, I'd try yea sacc instead. If you are feeding BY as a mineral supplement, it's probably insufficient anyway. I'd recommend forage analysis (broken record here...) with a particular eye towards zinc and copper levels. Zinc in particular is very important for healthy skin/hair/hoof. Also, the omega 3s in linseed are beneficial as they are anti-inflammatory. 100g is a good "maintenance" dose for horses without access to grass, but a sweet itcher could need more omega 3s. If the extra calories aren't an issue, you could try to up the linseed.
Having said all that, a lot of people seem to like BY. But if there is something beneficial about it, it hasn't been proven yet to my satisfaction.
Interesting Maggie - but I do find my big ginger stress head is much calmer and has more "coping" resource after introducing BY.
Bruce - I do believe you! It's just that various people tell similar stories, everybody observing slightly different effects (if any). Yet, if you look at what's actually in BY, I can't see a connection. There haven't been any real studies either. I can't help myself, but without proof in the pudding, I'm leaving it out, in true "less is more" fashion. Maybe it's the day-job (sciency type...). Note absence of all comments on Reiki thread...
That is very interesting - Brewers yeast made a huge difference to my old pony with colitis - I increased it at times of stress and his loose droppings were better. A warmblood (another ginger stresshead as the pony, the Fizz of my avatar) was also very much calmer and guts much better on BY than on yeasacc or other probiotic mix. So I do like it!
Cirrus, the connie, is on a theraputic dose of linseed and it very much helps - he's also rugged, fully clipped (don't ask me, it helps!) and gets dectomax injections every 5-6 weeks in the spring/summer/autumn again not very good for his feet, dectomax is an ivermectin wormer, but it improved the sweet itch by 50%. Last year I removed grass from their (have a shetland as well) diet largely - my field is old railway land and very sparse with a lot of nettles and trees and bushes to graze on , but very little actual grass, its mainly hardcore with a small amount of largely organic matter soil. I'm still not sure if the removal of grass has helped his sweet itch - he was quite bad last year but was on a respiratory supplement with garlic in it. But the removal of grass has done wonders for his weight, he looks fab and my vet congratulated me on having a shetland at a perfect weight! (vet also thinks my field is great, so things are getting through).
Cirrus' feet are not great atm, but are improving - he has some white line separation that is now resolving - we (trimmer and I) think it is to do with the antibiotics and general poor health - he's never been shod btw. Now, as he is an allergic horse, he has RAO (or COPD).
I didn't help the situation by feeding albeit small quantities of Happy Hoof - I always said it was against my religion, so no idea why I did, other than that he would eat it - he suddenly went off speedibeet and fibre nuts after eating them happily for years - changed bags etc - he's like this, a nightmare! Now he's on Pure Easy (since Oct) and seems to be thriving on it, and for this time of year his itching is better. It does have BY in but tiny quantities - the short chop in it is not flash dried, it may not be perfect, and I wait and see, but so far I think its ok.
So I'm not sure I need brewers yeast or a yeasacc at the moment, but was wondering in case I can figure some way out to get him to eat something more close to the Feet First diet.
Niki x
Maybe I'm sounding a bit too anti-BY. For a normal horse with healthy gut, I think it has little to offer.
But BY does have some benefits, like being high in protein (around 40%). It also does have some B vitamins (though not the huge amounts of biotin that some people would like). Normally, a horse with a healthy gut that's not in very heavy work gets all the B vitamins it needs from the bacteria that live in its gut. If the gut is compromised, the additional B vitamins might help.
BY is not a probiotic, because the yeast is spent/dead. It is a prebiotic, i.e. contains nutrients for the gut bacteria to munch on. Yea sacc is a probiotic (live culture) which actually introduces beneficial microorganisms to the gut. If the horse has a healthy gut, there should be plenty of nutrients for the bacteria to process, but I guess I can see how BY might be beneficial for a horse with colitis. Just wondering why there hasn't been a proper study then?
Are you suspecting/treating for Onchocerca with the dectomax? I have heard of such a treatment with ivermectin every 4-6 weeks to control the itching that comes with migration of the microfilaria. Did you have a real diagnosis, or did the vet recommend treatment at a guess? We have four sweet itchers at our yard. I wonder if they'd benefit from ivermectin treatment.
Sounds to me like you have things mostly figured out. I do envy you the setup!
I used to be sciency type maggie - I have undergrad and postgrad degrees to prove it - but it seems I'm getting more "wafty" as I get older.
P.S. "wafty" is a word invented in this forum to describe anything more than a few standard deviations from the accepted norm, to the right or left....someone will come up with a better definition soon.
But if it works to waft... ...keeping wafting !!
It seems that the dectomax acts as deterrent to midges - like a long lasting repellent - its action decreases after 5-6 weeks for most horses. Our vets use it as a standard for SI- in the main it works well, in mild cases it's a complete treatment. Its still off licence, and I don't think anyone really understands the mechanisms, its still a bit of try it and see. Cirrus has also tried the vaccine for 3 seasons, which worked well the first two, but when it went to capsules only it was useless - at which point I went back to dectomax. He wouldn't cope unrugged or unclipped - his legs are a nightmare, I made him trousers last year but have yet to find a satisfactory connection at the top. The linseed is a very positive thing, but its always a knife edge with all these treatments, and fighting the tendency to do everything at once!
I inject it myself - initially the vet did, but I'm not paying £40 every 5 weeks for something I can do myself! Vet assured himself I was capable - I inject it subcutaneously, Pfizer did say that it should be injected IM but I find it a large quantity of an oily substance to be whacked into a muscle - the only real difference is a day or so in it working.
I am lucky with my set up - having spent my childhood hating my field as it wasn't smooth and green with beautiful wood fences - like my neighbours over the fence - but I get the last laugh!
It's very interesting about the brewers yeast though - Fizz's colitis was a constant issue - it was from old worm damage before I had him - he just had to see a green bit of grass and he was very loose - the feed balancers helped, but eventually I had him on Total Eclipse which worked well, but when I moved back to Wales sourcing it was an issue so I just put him on fibre nuts, speedibeet and brewers yeast and he improved again. He didn't die of the colitis, rather just old age, which the vet had assured me years ago that the colitis would kill him - he was well into his 30's when he was pts.

I use Neem leaf as an insect repellant, and my friend in the lakes who has sweet itchy exmoors swears by it. Tablespoon a day in the feed.
I looked for an alternative wiht Bramble who just reacted with angry pink rashes to every insect repellant we used.
Maggie345 I share your desire for scientific proof absolutely. I have no belief in homeopathy, for instance. I undertand that the latest claim is that it works at a quantum level and therefore they cannot do double blind trials becuase observation will mean that it will not work. Yeah, and my fairy godmother's coming to stay tomorrow
But, big but, my friends horse had a brittle tail that was breaking and sand crack in both front hooves, at three years old. At my advice she took it off Top Spec and put him on Brewer's Yeast. That was the only change she made. The line where the tail has grown thick and strong is as clear as the nose on my face, as is the minimal shadow-mark of the sandcrack since he was on it. I too would love to understand why, but it does seem to work. Of course I might havce to change my story once the spring grass comes through if his tail starts to break again!
Jazz has also had cracks in the surface of his feet which I have previously talked to Nic about privately, and those are only surface-shadows since introducing BY.
I can't explain it but I'm not going to stop feeding it, obviously
I've started feeding neem leaf, at brucea's suggestion, to both my horses - one to see if it can help Storm combat the dreaded horse flies which bring him out in lumps, and to Bracken to see if it can help his sensitivity to midges around his muzzle. I've only just started in the last fortnight, thinking I had a few weeks to build it up before the flies started, but for a while now I've seen clouds of midges hovering, v. worrying as swamp fever is in the next county. Bracken has already had one extreme head shaking incident - can't remember the last time he had one - this year, although that was mainly due to the very kind dog walker trying to "creep" along behind us for a mile or so which completely blew the RB neddy's brain to the extent I had to get off and restore his concentration from the ground. Must remember he was a child's pony....
Will be interesting to see if it helps.
Works for our guys - doesn't stop the flies landing, and they are still a nuisance, but it seems to stop them getting bitten
It is intensely biter so I wonder if it works in the same way as quinine works...?
In the end, I go with the horse's vote. So if BY (or any other supplement) is working, I'm all for sticking with it!
I use BY but for nutritional value and prebiotic value. I add Protexin in times on dietary distress evidenced by loose poo when I know such DD is on the way e.g. travelling days.
However, I have read that Protexin acidifies the gut and long term usage can increase the risk on Colic. YS is the only probiotic with PROVEN probiotic action I understand.
At the same time I have started Dr Kellons NRC course and its opening up a whole new world of queries etc. I'm going to wait until I've finished before reviewing Jake's diet in any major way.
However one bit of info was that the hindgut holds several hundred species of organisms and these change according to diet. So it adapts. Also horses browsing e.g. tree bark, encourages a wide variety of these micro-organisms. So I thought when I see Jake chewing at wood - is his body telling him "I need some micro-organisms" ??
So I thought when I see Jake chewing at wood - is his body telling him "I need some micro-organisms" ??
The way I understood it is that unless the horse's gut is in severe distress, it has a "full" population of all the microorganisms in its gut that it may need. Depending on what it eats, certain parts of this population multiply faster, because "their" food is abundant, whereas other microorganisms exist in much lower numbers, waiting in the wing, so to speak.
As long as the horse is trickle-fed, and changes to the diet are introduced slowly, the "right" microorganisms multiply just enough to digest the available food. Unless the gut is compromised (lack of microorganisms) or encounters food it's never seen before ("right" microorganism missing), I don't think there is a need to introduce new microorganisms through food, they are already there, waiting to multiply. In that sense, probiotics like Yea Sacc are like a jump start for the gut that has lost the right microorganisms (though yea sacc is only one type of organism), or can be supportive when feed is changed faster than the natural population can adjust.
So, long-winded answer. I can't read Jake's mind. Maybe he's just following his natural instinct to browse, or that something in the wood tastes good? Apart from salt, it has never been shown that horses self-select "supplements" based on what their body is deficient in.
interesting thread.. I was feeding BY until Neets went off it about the same time as the local farmers best hayledge was provided in field... from better soil (permanent natural pasture) than they graze... So at a guess she doesn't need it at the mo.. will try her with it again once in summer sparse grazing in the spring.. which as far as we're concerned is still some time off.. It did seem to help Neets so I think there is something in it..
However have a very
take on feed and nutrition in that I do trust Neets to tell me what she needs... I watch closely what she goes for when I take her out in hand to graze verges which round us are rich in lots of herbs and shrubs etc.. I tend to read up on them once she's picked them out... I do refer back to Clare McLeod's book as well.
Scientific proof imho is limited as no science is complete .. there is always something more to be discovered.. not that I disregard it but it's no guarantee of total knowledge.
One of the sticking points I had with the vets trying to diagnose Storm's lameness was that they had no scientific evidence to refer to in support of what I was trying to tell them about barefoot health, because no one has done that sort of scientific trial in this country...which is why Project Dexter is sooo important. Now I always ask is there no scientific evidence because no scientific trials have been done, or because whatever it is actually doesn't work?
Just to rejuvenate this thread again ...
My mini pony started to have softer poos 10 days ago. The other pone was fine and they graze the same field etc. I have some Yea Sacc on the shelf (in date !!) so decided to put this in his evening feed for a bit. Poos have now returned to normal and he also doesnt seem as difficult to handle as he normally is (imagine argumentative toddler
My question is, it is obviously doing him some good but he also suffers with sweet itch and I will be starting him on his Skratch supplement in the next couple of weeks. So, yes, the question, would changing the yea sacc to BY still help his tum (can be runny anyway in summer although on track system and he IS a grumpy so and so) and also help his SItch instead of me buying Skratch ?
What do you guys think ?
Homeophy is a medicine and you need a good homeoph !You can do a lot of damage by giveing it willy nilly ! I am certainely NO wafty and have used it for years but it is by no means the bee all and end all you need an open mind
Most medicines are made up of natrual stuff just have chemicals added which is what I try to avoid maybe thats why I have brain ach so often Ha
I was jolly glad of any painkiller I could get hold of when I was in hosiptal but made me ill because I am not used to them
In my experience my chap is the only SItchy horse to get worse on BY. My old pony had chronic collitis and thus runny poo's and BY worked the oracle for him.
I guess the only way you will know is to try it - and that's a hard one with an itchy horse!
Niki x
Sorry, I am like Bruce and believe the horses over the experts every time
Over the years I've tried biotin (no effect), yea-sacc (no effect) and all sorts of other supplements, particularly on Andy's mare, Bailey, who is one of the original sensitive flowers.
When I first started down the route of obsessing about her diet, a good few years ago now, she had full depth cracks on 3 hooves, and each hoof was so badly split that each piece moved independently, like a cloven hoof. She was on the verge of being put down at age 5.
She was (of course!) on all sorts of supplements, but nothing made ANY difference to her, until, by trial and many errors, I put her onto what is now tried and tested - brewers yeast, linseed, seaweed, magnesium - and restricted her grazing.
Of course, if I had only had Felix, I would have believed that ad lib grazing was fine, and that horses didn't need supplements - because thats what worked for him.
Turns out they are both anomalys, but at different ends of the spectrum!
Fizz - well done you for listening to YOUR horse - they are all different, and at the end of the day finding the right solution for him is the most important thing
So, long-winded answer. I can't read Jake's mind. Maybe he's just following his natural instinct to browse, or that something in the wood tastes good?
Maggie - believe me you dont what to read the little bugger's mind - just lots of devilish plans
to upset any human plans !!
I think you are right on natural instinct to browse PLUS he's generally happier and more playful these days so chewing everything and exploring is, I think, part of that.
BY - update - out of diet completely currently. Reason = they are refusing it totally. New batch looks fine to me but they think NOT. Wasted 2 feeds with it in so took it out. I tried feeding separately leaving it in stable in bit of soaked beet. It was gone at the end of the day - Clay more likely as he was investigating it and is generally less fussy. However its a lot of faffing doing extra BY feed and so currently not doing. Not sure if I'm taking out something important. However, they are both on Farriers Formula as stop-gap to up Cu and Zn levels without I levels being inreased (see other thread on Feet First minerals).

2012 THEME: It Was On Fire When We Got Here
"Since the house is on fire let us warm ourselves." ~Italian Proverb
Every age has its own End Of Times. What supported the past no longer works for the present, and systems come tumbling down. When the man's on fire, and nobody is at the wheel the chaos seems daunting, but fire means rebirth when it's flipped upside down. Here dawns the Age of the Regionals. Burning Culture has spread around the planet with annual fires blazing in Africa, Spain, New Zealand and dozens of other locations. We spread like wildfire in all directions, igniting the spheres of influence of art, media, and human experience. All of us individual sparks light new fires in the hearts of those we encounter each and everyday, aggregating into fire so giant and luminous it changes how we perceive the things that burn and the burning of things. When the world turns to see the change and immolation around them-- there will come a question "Who started this?" and we will answer with bold delight, "It was on fire when we got here!"

Yes, a picture is worth a thousand words. One bright Saturday afternoon, I decided to pull out my camera and snap some shots of this peculiar city of Memphis. I've been working on a piece that will adequately describe my current place of residence, but it's been rather difficult to pull all of the elements of the piece together. However, I will definitely work it out and publish the piece because it's necessary. For right now, I will let these pictures serve as proper representation of a city with a haunting past.
At one point in its history, Memphis had a thriving cotton industry because of its likely transportation system. While I am not quite sure if this building was used for cotton production, I snapped the photo because of the inscription, perhaps indubitably giving Memphis a subtitle.
This slab, located at the intersection of Auction and Main Street in Downtown Memphis, is part of the original auction block used during slave auctions. Interestingly enough, Memphis has a predominately African American population with an African American mayor and unfortunately is the site where Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated. The roots of racism run deeply in this city. While not as overt as it has been in the past, the wounds of racial divide are still open and seething. This auction block stands as a painful reminder of a people who are still incredibly marginalized.
I really like this picture because it symbolizes the struggle of Memphis. Let me explain. The billboard, which should have been taken down by the time I took this picture, is advertising the 101st Holy Convocation for the Church of God in Christ (COGIC). COGIC is a denominational organization comprised of primarily African American clergy and congregation. The Holy Convocation is a week-long conference of sorts featuring several worship services and other events. The convocation generates millions of dollars in revenue, making it one of the principle revenue generators for Memphis, along with Graceland and Beale Street.
The Memphis skyline is in the distance beyond the trees. On the far left is the Peabody Place complex which is probably less than ten years old. Those three buildings in the middle are banks, SunTrust, Regions (formerly Union Planters), and First Tennessee and then, on the far right, is one of Memphis' oldest buildings and only skyscraper, the Sterick Building. It is indicative of an era when Memphis was a chief boomtown in the South.
Symbolically, the Peabody Place building represents Memphis' efforts to move forward, incorporating several revitalization projects within the Downtown area over the past eight to ten years. The bank buildings are representatives of the old money that circulates in this city, moving from one prominent family to another and never quite trickling down to the masses. An Old South jewel, the Sterick Building is a reminder of a glorious Memphis past that culminated decades ago and since that time, the city has not recovered from that long spiraling downturn.
However, the billboard is in full view as Memphis boasts of its Bible Belt heritage. It's a troubling heritage as some of the issues surrounding Memphis' growth could be related to the deep influence of the local church community and especially, the racial divide among congregants who read the same Bible and worship the same Jesus. At the same time, the local church community has yet to tap into the tremendous power that it possesses as a change agent to push Memphis beyond its ill-constructed barriers.
My godmother from Canada visited us once and while my mom was driving her around downtown, she said, "Why do you always take me to see slums?" Well, it's sad but true, Memphis has really interesting slums. Some of our most interesting places are run down and forgotten.
I have a COGIC story. My grandmother, who was white, was interested in the Civil Rights movement. She was a Baptist, but she decided to go to one of the big COGIC gatherings because she felt that it was wrong that white and black people never mixed in church, where all people ought to come together equally before the same God. This was in the 60's, and she went with her friend, who was a little tiny white lady, very prim and proper. On this particular occasion they were the only white people there, and they were trying to seem relaxed and just like anyone else, when one of the bishops noticed them. He had the whole congregation welcome them and pulled them out of the crowd and set them up on stage with the bishops - two of the bishops gave up their chairs for them. They sat up there through the whole meeting facing the crowd and were very embarrassed!
Memphis still has a bunch of racial tension, but I am glad that if I went down to a COGIC meeting today, I might get a couple of odd looks, but it wouldn't be that big a deal.We've made some progress.
I'm glad to meet you, I'll go look back through your old stuff.
Thanks for writing on Memphis.
I had no idea that they still had the auction block. It's a good but painful reminder of man's inhumanity to man.
Pictures are amazing. Thank you.
I also set off an alarm in the Visitor's Center on the river side when I touched the BB King statue for luck. Heh.
One of his best friends, a pastor at a white Southern Baptist Church, marched with MLK during that fateful week in 1968. Following the assassination, this man was fired and had to leave both the church and ultimately the denomination. I am reminded of that fact because of your comment that the local churches still have not exersized their unique ability to transcend race and move the city forward.
Don't get me wrong -- I have visited Memphis many times, have family there, and enjoy my time there. There are a lot of positive things happening in Memphis. And the city is not alone in being haunted by its past. But the city could be so much more than it is.
AnniThyme, culture shock is great way to describe it but I'm glad you had a good experience here.
Hey Allie! Keep in touch! Your COGIC story had me cracking up! I could just imagine--I'm familiar with COGIC people. I'm a Christian, but I don't associate with any denominations. That's a bit too organized for me. :)
Greg: Sorry about your sister. I enjoyed reading about your memories. I have more to say about Memphis, it's so incredibly underwritten. :)
JK Brady: If the pic sends shivers up your spine, just imagine looking at it. :) About ten years ago, I stayed at a bed and breakfast in New Orleans that was a former plantation. The cabins were the actual slave quarters. Now, that was haunting. We kept feeling like the ancestors were roaming around there.
odetteroulette: Moving back? Hmmmm, think seriously about that. :D But, if you do, look me up!
Gregormendel: I know the feeling of being frozen at the NCRM. It's happened to me on a few occasions. I laughed out loud about rubbing BB King's statue. So....did it work?
cyclopic: Did you see the Peabody ducks?
Stephanie: That piece is wearing me down...I'm trying to keep it as a blog post...but it's acting like it wants to be a book.
Procopius: It takes great courage to make such a stand. Are you able to get in touch with that pastor? During this time of change, what are his thoughts? Hopefully, he knows that he did his part in bringing about an era of changing America for the better.
Janie: It was an ugly period of history, a stain on this country and other countries that have and, in some cases, still practice. As much as I read about it and study it, I haven't been able to get my hands around how anyone could engage in such a thing.

Today's photo is another from a recent Three Mile Photowalk.
I tried a different route and passed another farm. While walking on the busy road, I noticed this Hay 4 Sale sign that needed some care. I'm not sure how they're selling hay when the sign barely readable.
During processing, I had to do some burning on the sign in order to get the words to come out. The processing was with Lightroom, of course.
Thanks for reading and happy shooting,

I have a larger section on Approved Men's Clothing Stores, and you'll find all of these companies on that page as well. But here are the ones that I've reviewed specifically for this site. Many of these have video reviews as well.
I've personally tried products from all of these sites. The owners of the various companies didn't pay me to recommend their products or give me any massive piles of free "samples" or anything like that — this is just stuff I've liked enough to write about or make a video about.
Anson's Belt and Buckle Microadjust Belt – A nifty little system that lets you adjust your belt by fractions of an inch, rather than by widely-spaced holes in the leather. The buckles are sleek and stylish and the leather is good quality, making these some of the best belts you'll ever own.
Austin's 5th & Lamar Slim Fit Dress Shirts – Affordable dress shirts cut to avoid the "muffin top" — the billow of loose fabric around the waistband when you tuck your shirt in. A great selection of fabrics for low prices and fantastic return/exchange policies.
Carol Davis Sportswear – Lightweight cold-weather and outdoors gear made in America. This is very tough stuff that uses Powerstretch Polartec for durability and comfort. I review several of their products in individual videos — scroll to the bottom of the overall review to see each one! Carol's a good friend and she's been in this business for a long time; I can recommend her products with 100% certainty.
Leather Honey – A top-notch leather conditioner that you can use safely on expensive dress shoes. Sean and Ariel are the third generation running the company, and they're still using their grandfather's formula! Far and away the best conditioner I've found for keeping leather supple and smooth as it wears.
RibbedTee Undershirts – Undershirts for the connoisseur (and anyone who likes to be comfortable) from expert and entrepreneur Mike Schwartz. It's very hard to go back to the $5-a-pack cheap stuff after trying one of these on — and they just get softer and lighter as you wash them over and over again.

Lexus RX 350 Driving Experiences and Problems
The exhaust note on the 2010 is definitely louder than on the previous generation RX. What's irritating for me is when I'm stopped at a stop light and the gear is in drive. The exhaust note is noisy and the vibration throughout the vehicle drives me nuts! Sometimes when I'm at a stop light, I'll put the gear in neutral, and then it gets more quiet, more like my '07 RX was. I wonder if there's anything that can be done to muffle the sound a little bit???
Try using your foot to raise the idle RPM just a slight bit.
A (too) low idle speed will sometimes result in the engine lopping and the associated vibrations.
Lexus may have also made a bit of a compromise in idle speed in favor of a slight FE improvement. I'm continually amazed at the little things (lower volume ATF sump...{***}) that are being done in the name of FE, but I suppose when you add up the gain from ALL of those little things.....
*** SEALED transaxles: Fill level is now too critical, plus OR minus, to allow the average DIY ready/easy access, and most certainly so for the low hourly pay McD flipper graduates that most dealers use for routine (maintainance) tasks.
Then again it may just be the beancounters, less ATF for the factory fill and lower metal content for the muffler(s), or maybe even one less muffler. Note that lower exhaust restriction might also improve FE.
Could it be both...?
propwash49 Posts: 38It sounds to me that the little hitch you feel is the telescoping function momentarily stopping while the starter motor is engaged. The starter is by far the largest draw on a vehicle's electrical system. The momentary voltage drop when the starter engages is probably enough to stop the power telescoping function from working. If it doesn't happen to other vehicles, it may be that your battery is old enough that it doesn't pack the punch it did when it was new. I wouldn't worry about it. Just don't start the car until the steering wheel has done its thing and moved to the correct position.
burnsie455 Posts: 1There is a wave/distortion when looking out the front windshield.

When I set the ventilated seat to maximum cooling on my 2011 RX350, I do not feel any cool air coming out from the driver's seat. It is quite different when compared to driver's seat at the same setting. I took it to Lexus to get it checked out when I took it in for 5k mile service and I was told that's the way it is. They gave me a loaner car (2011 RX350) and it had the same issue as well. I have a 2008 ES350 and the same setting produces drastically different results. It actually cools unlike RX350. Has anyone noticed this problem on their RX?
gladiator99 Posts: 104I had the front bumper repaired last January and so far it is ok. I am not sure what they did but according to what the problem was, they probably replaced some of the clips that hold the bumpers to the front fenders. I had the work done at Superstition Springs Lexus in Mesa AZ. No other problems yet.
ncaler Posts: 14Couple days ago, my 2010 RX350 check engine light came on and displayed a message "Check AWD System". I brought it in and service consultant said he has never seen such message before.
After whatever tests they do, they found error code "P0445 - Gross Leak". And the cause was the fuel cap was not securely tighten.
Should I believe them that all these was caused by untighten fuel cap? Could they have reset the message and blame on something because they can't figure out the problem? The message didn't came after we brought gas or the next day, but 2 days later.
Anyone has seen similar problem and/or message? Any inputs or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
precab Posts: 11Had to replace my AC fan as cabin noise was intermittent under the dash Took a few trips to diagnose what the noise under the dash was; it was not a consitant noise. Wanted to post for others who hear noises inside the cabin. Dealer in Plano tx was first class in dealing with a few trips to try to pin this down, however had been sharing other rx350's do not have a problem history on this.
19k miles on the 2011
Hi, jlotoo. Do you have the 18-inch wheels or the 19-inch wheels? I have the 19-inch wheels on my 2010 RX, and as I was coming from an '07 RX, I felt the ride was quite bumpy and not as smooth as the '07. Well, a couple of weeks ago, I drove a loaner RX with the 18-inch wheels, and it felt smoother and less bumpy. So, although the 18's may not look as nice as the 19's, they seem to ride better. I bet the 18's would look good in the chrome finish
nateg1 Posts: 1Friend of mine has a 2010 RX350. Almost had a horrible crash when his RX accelerated by itself on the highway. Brakes completely failed...threw it in neutral and he was ok. Car was towed away. Tow truck driver claimed this was the 10th time he has seen this...with this exact car. This just happend today. I have the exact same car. And now i am scared to death to drive it. We both have 12-16 months left on our 3 year leases. How can we get out of the lease? Lexus will say the cars are fine until there is an official recall. Put this situation into google and you can read about the hundreds of others this has happened to...????? And i think i read somewhere that all 2011 RX's have the brake override system.....can i get this added to my RX? Thanks.

Brakes completely failed
How is that possible?
Brakes are not by-wire, they have hydraulic lines that are independent from the throttle. If you've ever bled the fluid from the lines you'll know what I mean.
So he's saying both the throttle-by-wire and hydraulic brakes failed at the same exact time, by pure coincidence?
I'd believe reduced braking, but not complete failure.
Due to the need for VDIM (Trac/VSC/ABS/EBD/etc) to have the ability to close off brake fluid pressure to any or all wheels this is not entirely impossible.
One of the reasons, causes, for which I have been "campaigning" for ONLY rear braking for moderate braking levels as a way to help "stabilize" the vehicle on marginal roadbed surfaces. Only open the front brake pressure control manifolds for brake pressure above a certain level or if the rear wheels indicate imminent lockup.
As of 2010 a new F/awd system(***) was adopted for the RX350 and it sounds as if the service tech was not up to speed on this matter.
A loose gas cap will almost always result in a CEL and by default a VSC fault.
Just a guess but it seems to me that a Check AWD system would most likely result from a poor or imtermittent electrical connection to the rear drive clutch control solenoid.
There is an off-chance that the rear drive clutch itsself failed to fully engage during low speed acceleration even with a full voltage aplication. That would be detectable by the system "monitor" if you developed some level, even minor level, of left or right front wheelspin/slip without an appropriate left or right wheelspin/slip at the rear.
Remember any indication of such an instance...?
*** First adopted in the US by Ford for the (2005-7[?]) Escape/Mariner and then more recently by Toyota with the introduction of the new Sienna.
Oh, your dealer was blowing smoke.
aamixy Posts: 692012 Rx 350 non Navi version. The seat movement of the "easy exit" can be disabled through customization features, but driving wheel still moves down when existing the vehicle. Is there a way to disable this feature through personalization settings? Or I have to go to the dealer's place? Thanks.
nit2 Posts: 29I was driving along at about 35 mph when I saw some snowy patches ahead and so switched the car into Snow mode (this is the ECT mode that you can activate using buttons on the steering wheel). I have the AWD version.
As soon as I did that, the car noticeably slowed down to about 30 mph - almost as if I had tapped the brakes. Has anyone experienced this and is it normal?
Thanks in advance.

December 21, 2014
CHICAGO (AP) - Three checks for campaign services have been stolen from President Barack Obama's national campaign headquarters in Chicago.
Midwest Press Secretary Ben Finkenbinder says the checks were to be sent to vendors but "made it into the wrong hands." He says the campaign notified police that he doesn't expect the theft to have any impact on the campaign.
He would not say how much money the checks were for or provide other details about the theft.
Chicago police would not comment Thursday beyond confirming that a theft was reported at that address and that no one was in custody.
WFLD-TV reports (http://bit.ly/Ukek0J ) that two squad cars were seen outside the building Wednesday, and that officers who responded to the call were seen leaving the building with envelopes.

F/Nazca Saatchi & Saatchi Plays with Food for Electrolux
In this spot created by Saatchi & Saatchi's Brazilian office to promote client Electrolux's new refrigerator, things blow up. Slowly.
The idea is that the fridge can help Brazilians eat better via "product differentiators, such as the applications Vida Saudável (Healthy Living) and Livro de Receitas (Cookbook)."
While the spot doesn't quite explain how the refrigerator's interactive screen will empower us to minimize our sugar cravings and convince us to eat more leafy greens, it does look cool in a late-90′s action movie sort of way.
The campaign will also include magazine inserts and other placements.

Han Dong, Senior Product Marketing Manager, User Authentication
I just read an article in CNET, by Jonathan Eunice, Character limitations in passwords considered harmful. And immediately after reading the story I thought to myself, Jonathan (may I call you Jonathan), we have the answer to your troubles. It's called VeriSign Identity Protection (VIP) Authentication Service and it's precisely what you need to address your goal to have strong authentication for your "4,000 web services."
Jonathan's article described the issue of how various websites will frequently restrict your ability to create 'stronger' passwords that use symbols (i.e. !@#$%^&), and thus relegate the user to simple (and easy to steal) phrase or nickname passwords. So he is thwarted from his attempt to use a password like "Ga9i)t|Z" by the fact that the website in question, is not allowing the use of these special character passwords. And he's forced to use "easy-to-remember, easy-to-hack passwords." Not an ideal solution.
So here's where VIP comes in. VIP is an easy to implement two-factor authentication service that employs an open standards-based one-time password credential that strengthens your existing userid and password. The VIP Authentication Service provides a cloud-based second-factor authentication, integrated to your favorite web service via Web Services-based API. The VIP credential is available as a small hardware token or can reside as a client application on your mobile phone (always available, regardless of wireless network coverage). This VIP credential generates a 6-digit code (which changes every 30-seconds). The credential is registered with a relying party web service - and every time you initiate a login session to your web service, in addition to entering your easy to remember userid and password, you also enter the 6-digit code from your credential as a "second" password.
Now Jonathan has essentially a password for his password. And better yet, that password for his password is uniquely generated (based on OATH standards) and constantly changing, every 30-seconds. Someone would have to physically steal Jonathan's mobile phone or VIP token IN ADDITION to stealing his userid and password to hack into his favorite websites. Jonathan can combine something he knows (userid & password) with something he has (VIP credential) to add strong password protection. Now he can login, safely and securely.
So Jonathan, feel free to use "goofdog" as your password - just be sure to add VIP Authentication and you're good to go.

PBS talks with us about our Farmers' Market and why it's important!
PBS stopped by the Bethlehem Farmers' Market over the summer to talk with us about the market and why it's important for the community to have access to fresh, local produce.
The FOCUS team and Weller Center took a look at where the area's food comes from and who has access to it in the video "FOCUS: Weller Center: Food For Thought". Take a look HERE!
We recommend watching it in its entirety, but pay special attention at the 5:23 mark! Access to fresh, local produce is important and we can't wait to bring the Bethlehem Farmers' Market back in the spring.

This Mustang Parts Installation Guide Works For
Tools Required
Installation Time: A Day
1. Purpose of the kit
This kit is a cold air shaker intake hood scoop kit. As a multi-purpose kit, it does a number of functions. Some are strictly for looks, but others are for performance reasons.
For performance, this kit offers a less restrictive airflow than what would normally be pre-air filter box. Just by adding the kit you add additional airflow to the intake. Depending on other interactions, this may or may not be a limiting factor on your Mustang, however most stock 4.0L V6 Mustangs should benefit. If headers have been installed as well, it should certainly change the performance of the vehicle.
Also for performance, this kit brings ambient air to the intake. With stock configurations, intake manifold air temps can rise as the vehicle slows and the cooling system blows off excess heat by turning on the radiator fan. Without this kit the engines sucks in hot air, which can be 50 degrees or more above ambient.
Strictly for looks, this kit brings to mind the hood scoops of the 60s. And being a shaker, the scoop move with the engine as it strains against the engine mounts.
2. Purpose
The purpose of this procedure is to provide an alternative installation manual to help individuals that are apprehensive about doing the installation themselves on their own vehicle. And to help fill in some of the blank spots left in the factory installation instructions.
This is NOT intended to be a replacement for the original factory install procedure, but rather another point of view to help clarify the factory procedure.
3. Parts of the process
There are a number of parts to the process of installing this kit, and Ill break them down here before we start
Moving things out of the way is mostly fairly simple, however the high voltage pack for the ignition system will need to be lowered. To do that involves cutting the bracket. Other things that need moved are pretty much just repositioning.
Modification of the air intake involves cutting a new hole in the air filter box and installing a new tube.
Cutting the hood is the most stressful part of the installation. This involves drilling, cutting, sanding, and manipulating the hood and thermal blanket. While there is little room for error, its not as difficult as it sounds, and hopefully the pics in this procedure will help.
Mounting of the scoop is fairly straightforward, but there are a few things to watch for.
Final trim is what makes your installation look sharp. Its a fairly simple procedure, but you cannot cut corners if you want it to come out right.
4. Tools needed for this install
There are certain tools that you will need for this job. Some tools just make the job easier. Others make it possible. Not having the right tool can make the difference in a job that looks like a hack instead of a job that looks factory designed. While some tools can be improvised, having the right tool for the job always helps. Here is a list of what youll need. But remember, this is a recommended list, not a required list. Also, some additional tools may be required based on considerations of what is actually in your vehicle.
See above for tools required.
5. Cautions and Caveats
As can be imagined, there are a lot of cautions and caveats in this process. Most are common sense, but listing them here should just make sure they are remembered.
Always use eye protection when appropriate. That means anytime something could get into or near your eyes. While cutting is obvious, but also while doing sanding or working with chemicals.
Measure twice, cut once. You are cutting your HOOD!! Dont rush and make a mistake. Replacement hoods are expensive. Measure again and again to make SURE you have it right. Then sit back, look at what youre about to do, and make sure its appropriate and looks right. If in doubt, back off and take a break, then look again.
Keep metal parts from flying everywhere when cutting. Put a tarp or blanket on the engine if you are cutting the hood while still on the vehicle.
Make sure of what youre cutting! This sounds simple, but if you just start cutting the hood and dont take into consideration how deep the blade can go, you can end up with a seriously damaged intake manifold housing, or cut plug wires, or The list can get long and expensive!
6. Getting Started Moving things that are in the way
While the original manual suggest cutting the hood as the first step, I found it a lot less intimidating to do other things first. Make sure they fit, and then cut the hood. That means the first thing I did was get things out of the way.
Moving the coil pack.
Moving the coil pack involves lowering it by about an inch. The bracket that holds the coil pack is a stepped metal frame. To lower the pack you need to cut the old frame into two pieces then bolt on a new piece that acts as the coil pack base to the original lower leg.
Remove the 4 coil pack bolts from the coil pack. These should be 7mm bolts. Lift the pack up off the bracket. Use a screwdriver to carefully pop the wire holders where they snap into the bracket and behind the intake manifold.
You need to swing the evac hose, pictured above against the HV wires, out of the way. I found it easiest to disconnect the hose at the OTHER end and just swing it up out of the way.
Once the coil pack is off the bracket, remove the 2 8mm bolts holding the bracket to the top of the intake manifold. Then remove the two bolts that hold the bracket down by the exhaust. These may be 10mm and 15mm on a stock engine, but may be other sizes (13mm) if you have had headers previously installed.
With the bracket removed, you can see the Ford name in the rectangle stamped on the bracket. Scratch a line across the bracket even with the bottom of the rectangle and cut the bracket in two. After cutting you may want to clean up the edge a bit and spray it with black paint. The bracket should look like this after cutting
One the bracket is cut, mount the supplied piece to the bracket with the button head screws and flange nuts. Put the bracket together loosely and attach it to the engine, THEN tighten up the screws. Use a 5/32 Allen tool and a 7/16 wrench on the new bolts. The shelf for the coil pack should now be sitting about an inch lower.
Do NOT forget to hook the coil pack ground connection back up are the front left bolt as viewed above or you risk destruction of electronics!
Reconnect the evac hose that you swung out of the way.
When you are done, the installation should look something like the next photo. Notice that I swung the HV lead for #3 to the right to allow for the HV wires to be more easily tucked behind the intake manifold instead of going over the top.
Moving wires and pipes
Note that the high voltage wires will have to be repositioned slightly, so as to be out of the way between the intake manifold and the firewall, NOT over the top of the engine.
The wires on the firewall that are attached at the top edge behind the motor need to have the mounts all bent down so as to be out of the way of the shroud, as in the left photo below.
The tube on the right side valve cover needs moved slightly. Loosen the fittings as much as possible and turn the fitting that goes into the valve cover so as to come off slightly to the right instead of straight up. It wont move far, but it doesnt need to, as in the right photo.
7. Modify the Air Intake
The air intake obviously needs modified, as that is what this whole kit is about. This involves removing the air cleaner box, cutting a hole, snapping in a new feed attachment, and reinstalling it. This is fairly simple, but again, care should be taken to position the modification correctly. Measure twice, cut once.
Its easiest if the whole box is removed. Carefully unplug the MAF sensor at the connection in the big pipe by the air box. Be careful not to damage the connector or loose the red lock piece. Disconnect the pipe with an 8mm socket at the clamp. Unsnap and life off the air cleaner box top and set it aside. Use a 10mm socket to unbolt the lower box assembly. The bolt is between the box and the fender.
On the back page of the factory instructions, there is a template. This can be taped over the air box and then transferred to the box. Alternatively, you can use the template to position the center point with the cross, then scribe a circle on the box.
Once you have the positioned accurately marked, cut it out. A hole saw would normally seem to be the best, but if it cuts any bigger than 3 exactly, the new tube will not snap in place correctly. The manual suggest cutting a smaller hole and then filing. This is essentially how I did it. I cut the main hole then used a sanding drum on my drill press to enlarge it, very carefully, a little at a time. Once the hole was the right size, I realized that there was ribbing on the inside of the air box that interfered with the air tube snapping properly in place and I had to sand that flush to make it fit properly as well. When done, the new air tube should snap and stay in place and come out towards the top.
Reinstall the air box into the vehicle, snap on the air filter cover, and hook up the tube at the MAF sensor. You do NOT need to hook the MAF sensor up yet, unless you plan to drive the vehicle. (Which is possible at this point.)
8. Cutting the Hood
This is the most critical portion of installing the kit, and the scariest. Measure twice, cut once. Heck, measure 10 times before you cut!
The first thing that needs to be done is to find the exact centerline of the hood. I put a piece of tape down the approximate center of the hood and down each edge. I then measured 7 from the rear corners on each side. From there I measured across the hood and marked 29-1/2 from each side. The marks should be about ¼ apart. I then measured to the exact center between the two marks. I then measured 38 from the rear on each side of the hood, then measured 28-1/2 inch from each side toward the centerline. Again, the marks were about ¼ apart. I centered a mark. Now I have two points on the centerline. I drew a line down the center to give me the overall hood centerline.
Then I measured along the centerline from the rear edge of the hood at the windshield and marked 11-1/4. This measurement is VERY critical, as this sets the clearance to the back of the scoop as it sticks up through the hood and lets the hood clear the scoop when the hood is opened.
Here the instructions say to cover the entire scoop area with tape and then tape the template to the hood. In my case, I elected to NOT use the original template, but instead used a copy machine to copy the original template onto 4 separate sheets of paper. I then placed each of the sheets on the hood in the position indicated.
Folding up the paper, I placed wide masking tape on the hood to make sure I would be cutting tape underneath the outline on the template.
I verified the position of the copy with the original by doing multiple measurements of where the lines and edges were. This was strictly for my benefit of not destroying the original template, and double-checked the offset from the rear of the hood at 11-1/4.
Once I was sure it was positioned correctly, I carefully traced the outline using a utility knife, tracing the outline multiple times to make sure I was through the paper, tape, clearcoat, and paint. You want to cut down to the metal to make sure that sawing will not cause paint to chip outside the coverage area of the trim ring.
You can see how I put plenty of tape down.
Before you start to cut, you need to protect the engine. I used two layers of 3mil painter drop plastic, draped over the engine. And since I left the hood on the vehicle, I used a 2x6 piece of wood on edge to prop the hood open for extra clearance from the blade to intake manifold.
The original instructions recommend removing the thermal blanket from the underside of the hood, but I didnt have access to a fork tool and elected to just cut from the top. I used a hand electric sabre saw with a fine pitch 24tpi (tooth per inch) metal blade. I also used a piece of wood furring strip to offset the sabre saw so at to limit the penetration of the blade below the hood.
Drill a ¼ or larger hole inside the cutout area to start the blade and then carefully follow the template marking for 1 side only. Once you cut one edge, use tape over the cut to make sure the metal cannot flop around as you cut. Carefully cut the second edge and then again use tape to stabilize the cutout. If the panel flops around from cutting, it could dent the hood or chip the paint.
Make sure your cut has clean edges. Use your utility knife to trim the thermal blanket, angling the utility knife so that you cut the opening in the thermal blanket slightly larger than the opening in the metal by about ¼ or less. Then drop in the trim ring to make sure it fits. Once it fits, open the hood and carefully vacuum up any metal filings from the edge of the thermal blanket. Finally, remove your tarp without spilling the metal filings onto the engine.
9. Mounting the Scoop
Now is the time to actually mount the scoop on the engine!
Look at the underside of the scoop and notice that on the bottom of the shroud of the shaker box, there is a metal bracket towards the front. This will fasten to the throttle body using the top two bolts. At the rear of the shroud there is a recessed hole. You will be inserting a bolt through that hole that will go into a small metal 'D' shaped insert. This insert will slip into the cavity on the top of the intake manifold near the rear on the top.
First place the small metal insert into the cavity on the rear of the intake manifold. Insert the curved edge first with the threaded hole straight up so that a bolt can be inserted from the top. Gently tap the insert so that it is fully seated into the cavity and the threaded hole is visible through the hole.
Now remove the top two 8mm bolts that hold the throttle body to the engine.
Feed the wiring harness that attaches to the MAF sensor in the air line near the air filter box through the opening of the shroud and place the shaker box onto the top of the engine. Carefully position it so that you can see the silver of the metal insert in the manifold through the hole at the rear. Now slide the shroud back and forth left to right slightly to make sure it is positioned on the throttle body plate. Once it's in position, insert the small bolt that came with the kit into the hole to mate with the insert you placed at the back of the engine. Give a few turns with a 5/32 hex key to make sure the bolt is in the threads and cannot come loose but DO NOT TIGHTEN it down, as shown in the left photo. The shroud needs to move.
Press down hard on the rubber air intake tube from the air cleaner box where it goes under the shroud to get it out of the way, and using an 8mm socket on an extension bar, start the bolt on the RIGHT side of the throttle body. Once it takes to the threads, turn it a few more turns but make sure the shroud stays loose. Now do the same to the bolt on the left side.
Carefully close the hood and make sure the scoop centers properly and shift the scoop so that it is in-line with the vehicle, and not pointing left or right. Now is the time to make sure it is straight. Once it's in position, open the hood and tighten things down, starting at the rear. When you tighten the front bolts, gently press down on the shroud to make sure the tolerances in the holes keep the scoop level and not 'tipped' to one side. Once it is all tightened down, gently close the hood and make sure the position of scoop is still centered in your opening and inline front to back, not pointing to the side.
Close the hood again and drop in the trim ring to check for fit. You should be able to position the ring so that gaps are similar left and right and the trim ring covers any chips or mars in the hood finish.
At this time you can hook up the air tube to the shroud and connect it to the air box with the two hose clamps. The tube is fairly soft rubber, so it should slip on easily. Just to make the installation look clean and neat, position the screws on the clamps on the BOTTOM out of sight. It's a little tougher to tighten, but it makes the installation work look a lot cleaner.
Hint... When doing the bolts to the throttle body, it is a tight fit. The bolts will be slightly 'behind' the air tube, so it will have to be pressed out of the way. A 1/4" drive socket with a long extension will give you the best clearance and make the job easiest. Using any socket with an 'adapter' to a different size extension will put the adapter against the air tube and be hard to work around, but it can still be done.
10. Trim the Hood
The last step is to trim the hood by mounting the trim rings.
Close the hood and set the top trim ring in place, putting the 'dent' on the bottom towards the windshield. There is a front and a back to the ring, and the bottom that is not 'straight' needs to go to towards the windshield. With the hood open, snap in the trim ring bottom piece. This is not permanent, but just a check to make sure the insulation mat and the hole are correct and there won't be fitting problems later. Carefully let the hood down and make sure everything will go where you need it to go. You should be able to slide the ring around about 1/4" inch or less. If not, or it's a tight fit, you may have to trim out your cut on the hood, or the thermal blanket.
Now remove the bottom ring and carefully shut the hood. Position the top ring so that it has the best 'coverage' of any nicks or otherwise perfect cuts in the hood. Look for equal and straight spacing on both the left side and right side of the scoop... Position the ring forward and backward until you have a good fit. If anything, the trim ring around the scoop can be slightly 'forward' of being centered, as the hood will rise slightly to the rear as it is opened.
Once the ring is in position, use a couple of pieces of masking tape to hold it in position and carefully open the hood to make sure there are no issues underneath. Carefully shut the hood and latch it.
Now you need to place an 'outline' of tape around the trim ring. Carefully put down masking tape as if you were masking the trim ring to paint it and not get paint on the hood. You want a tape outline that exactly follows the trim ring. There should be no gaps of hood visible between the trim ring and the tape. This means you could actually put the tape SLIGHTLY under the edge of the trim ring, but no more than 1/16"!!
Once the trim ring is outlined, carefully remove the tape holding the trim ring in position and finish the outline in the areas previously covered by the hold-down tape. Once you are satisfied, gently lift out the ring and make sure your 'tape outline' on the hood is complete with no gaps.
Take a 2" x 4" piece of 180 or finer sandpaper and fold it so that it's easy to handle. Carefully sand the surface of the hood that would be UNDER the trim ring. Be careful while sanding not to 'roll up' the tape and accidently scratch the hood where it could be seen. You don't need to sand to metal or even primer. You just need to put a nice satin surface on the paint for the adhesive used later to be able to really grab on.
Invert the trim ring and sand the underside that will be out of sight. It is not necessary to sand the 'lip'. You want to sand the flat area under the trim ring, specifically toward the lip on the edge. Shortly you will be placing a tape in the flat groove.
Once everything is 'roughed up', take a cotton or other lint free towel (a 'shop rag' is fine) and moisten it with alcohol. You can use the alcohol wipe with isopropanol provided in the kit, or you can use denatured alcohol that you can get at most hardware and paint stores. If you buy isopropanol, make sure it has low water content. Wipe the surface of the hood where you sanded to remove all the dust and contaminants. Also wipe the area of the trim ring that you sanded. Wait for it to dry and DO NOT TOUCH IT!! You do not want to get oil from your fingerprints on the surfaces. Don't soak anything with alcohol. You want to do a 'damp wipe' and it should dry in seconds.
In the kit with your scoop, there is a package of 'activator'. This is a nasty mix of chemicals that will 'sensitize' anything it touches with a corresponding chemical for the adhesive on the tape and pretty much bond instantly to it, making it impossible to remove. CAREFULLY tear open the pack and remove the small sponge soaked in the activator compound. Give a single wipe on the hood area you sanded to coat it from the sponge. Now pick up the trim ring and also give a wipe to the area that you sanded and then cleaned. Be careful not to touch anything where you placed the activator compound.
Set the trim ring aside, wrap the wipe in a paper towel to toss in the trash, and go wash your hands while it dries!
At this point, remove most of the masking tape on the hood, but leave a few small pieces to show where the ring needs to mount. I left a small piece on each side towards the back edge and two on the front edge, as shown in the pictures below.
Before you start the next step, realize that the trim ring is 'sensitized' with the glue accelerant. Touching that surface with the tape means it will stay there. PERIOD! No, you CANNOT pull it off and reposition it. Touch it and it stays, like the guy in the commercial that glues his hard hat to the I-beam and then hangs from it. BE VERY CAREFUL in the next few steps!!!
Take the rubberized tape provided in your kit and unroll about 3 inches or so. DO NOT REMOVE THE RED TAPE!! Try to limit your touching of the sticky surface as you unwind it. Begin placing the tape 'in the groove' on the bottom of the trim ring that you sanded, cleaned, and sensitized, keeping the red tape UP so as to protect the top edge. START AT THE BACK OF THE RING, preferably near the center of the back edge. There will always be a slight gap in the tape, and you don't want the opening to be at the leading edge! When you place the tape, keep it as CLOSE TO THE EDGE AS POSSIBLE without getting 'on top' of the lip. This will mean it will be about at the same height as the lip, but that is ok.
Do NOT try to position the tape towards the center of the trim ring, always place it as tight as possible to the edge!! Do NOT try to 'stretch' the tape to make it fit. That will 'thin out' the tape and could lead to a poor strength bond. Be careful not to touch the sensitized area of the ring as you position the tape, and try to limit your touching of the sticky surface of the tape as you position it.
Once you get around the ring and back to the starting point, carefully cut the tape with a pair of scissors and try to get the tape to 'butt up' the start to the finish. Do NOT overlap the tape at all, as then the ring won't lay flat. If you accidently do overlap, you can use a razor blade to trim the tape as the piece on the top will not stick to the piece on the bottom due to the red tape.
Once the tape is totally in position, using a finger, slide it around the ring, pressing down slightly on the red tape to make sure the sticky underside bonds to the trim ring.
Now peel about 2" of the red tape up from both the start and finish of the tape ring. DO NOT TOUCH THE STICKY RUBBER SURFACE UNDER THE TAPE!!! Once you have these two 'pigtails', carefully set the trim ring over the cutout on the hood but keeping the BACK EDGE with the pigtails OFF THE SURFACE by an inch or so. Realize that if ring touches the hood where the red tape is peeled back, that's where it stays. There is NO WAY to remove it and reposition it without breaking it.
Keeping the back edge off the surface of the hood, carefully position the trim ring so that it centers on the tape still on the hood from when you sanded it. Once you are satisfied with its position, carefully let the back of the ring set down on the hood. Now, keeping the ring in position, carefully and slowly pull out the red tape from under the ring. As you pull the tape out, you can lightly touch down on the ring to 'set' it into position. Be careful in this step, as pulling too hard or fast on the tape can slightly 'warp' the ring and now the bottom ring will not snap into place correctly when you are done. And you absolutely do not want to break the tape! Once all the red tape is pulled out, run your thumb around the ring to press it down. Do it lightly at first so as to not distort it as areas make first contact, but then more firmly as you do it multiple times.
Once the ring is entirely in place, open the hood and snap the underside piece into position with the top ring to hold the insulation blanket in place. Shut the hood carefully and everything should be in the correct position.
Carefully peel up the last of the masking tape you used to outline the ring position.
Open the hood and install two pop-rivets in the two holes in the ring towards the windshield. This will insure that the two rings cannot separate under adverse conditions, such as winter weather with cold and ice.

*SHOUTS* RUMPELSTILTSKIN. IT USED TO BE ONE OF MY FAVOURITE FAIRY TALES. Now you may rip in half. Farewell, dumbass.
I love this, I mean, look at that snazzy line artstyle and colouring. Mmm, dark.
