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.
