It's not a problem and is supposed to do that. The noise occures as the part travels over the top of the wheel, then "slides" a tad before landing click click clunk clunk, then continues on around the lower part and bottom of the wheel. Like traveling over the top of a farris wheel and free-falling a second as you crest the top before the gears catch up to bring you back down.
Do you mean that black piece behind the rotor? When I hit it with something I feel like it sounds similar, if not the same, as the noise I am experiencing. Whats weird is the noise happens when doing a K Turn, or basically shifting from forward to reverse and vice versa. It happens after moving a bit.. but also does it again several feet after moving. Its weird. It does not repeat after that unless I again shift to reverse. I have never heard it on another SC. And I have asked other SC owners that I bumped into on the street because it annoyed me so much.

I will use the one that's not specified for leather, just based on results from other users. I am confident that it is OK and will not harm the leather.

Anyone know if i could use this method to completely change an interior piece (ie: headliner)? My black headliner on my camel interior is the only thing I really do not like about my car. Attempts to find a lighter color replacement have been unfruitful. Think I can spray my way to happiness and get a light color over my head?

Found this cheapest @ R & E Paint Supply. $9.75. Ordered 3 with shipping of $11 for all. Others wanted $13 shipping per can.

I noticed that they have a "saddle tan" color also (SEM 15033). I wonder how good a match that would be for our saddle interiors.

I'm still trying to find a match for the light gray interior in my '05 RX330.

VegasSC430, count me in, I have the identical color on my RX330. I need to re-work my RX as well.

Just finished my front seats. I am whooped. The masking took me over 4 hours.

It was scary in the beginning, after a few coats, they all evened up.

The Phantom White is an exact match with the Ecru.

Nice results, but I am exhausted.

I would have paid for somebody else to do it.

It will be worth it after I do my 1st ride. have to wait 24 hours for it to fully cure.

I will post some pics of the masking.

I also did the side trim on the doors. Looking good.

Need to do the rears but ran out of paint.

If you could have seen the before, you would appreciate the end result. All good.
