Re: RE: Re: The Kizzy keeps getting reviewed
Keep in mind that the Kizashi debuted in 2009 and hasn't changed since. It's on powertrain technology from several years ago.

Re: How to Polish Off Mild UV Damage from Headlights
Nice! Those are excellent results for just PlastX. Much easier than sanding too!
How often do you need to reapply the protectant?

Re: Kizashi OE and KYB Strut and Shock Part Numbers.
It's assumed that the Sport model dampers are stiffer to match the 10mm lower ride height. They also have a different PN as already mentioned. The KYB Excel-G are "OE replacements" so they are most likely softer than the Sport dampers. If you have a Sport model, it may be wise to proactive...
