Message	He told me that it would make them have a shorter life.. Because it will retain more heat and break them down faster. I don't think he meant this in a way that it will happen very soon or anything.. but he did mention it.. and if its a street car.. that it wasn't really recommended. I know swain and ceramic are a little different.. but I figured i'd post what he told me. I decided not to do mine.. _________________________________________________________________________ ~~~ Sig starts below ~~~ ================================================================= NO, This picture is not photoshopped.
