Body Styling Components Use a sponge or soft towel with warm, soapy water to clean these parts. As these components are not metal, do not use a scrub brush or rubbing compound on them as it may damage the part and/or finish.

Tire Maintenance The proper wheel and tire combination is basic to every performance vehicle. Tire pressures should be checked at least once a month and adjusted if needed. Keeping your tires properly inflated will provide you with the best combination of handling, tread life, and ride comfort. Under-inflated tires wear unevenly, alter the handling, and are more likely to fail from overheating.
