3. Do expensive brake pads like Black Hawk really stop better than conventional brake pads?, and does anybody here recommend a brand of brake pads?
Quality brake pads are better than stock. Hawk HPS are excellent (among others)
** BUT WOULD I NEED TO CHANGE THE ROTORS ?
no but an upgrade to GT rotors would be in order here...
8. How can i get rid of swirl marks and light scratches? I've tried Clay bars, all of the scratch removers and nothing works. Do body shops accept people that just need a couple of scratches removed?
Needs to be polished. Call around to detailing shops in your area
**SO I JUST CALL A SHOP AND ASK IF THEY POLISH? WHY CANT I JUST DO IT?
Thats what whomever put the massive amount of swirls there
thought.....
MM&FF covered swirl removal earlier this year in depth. Back issues are in order
14. I had h13 8000k HID's on my car but the relay always over heats and burns, what can i do to fix this issue?
If the relay is burning up. something is flowing way too much current. What brand HID's are you using and did the done with a relay or did you rig it up yourself?
**THE HID"S are cheap ebay ones 69.99
single beam yes i rung it up myself connected it directly to the battery.
There within lies the answer to the question...
The wiring is about 3 sizes too small and there is too
much voltage drop that increases the amperage draw.
This causes excessive wear on the relay contacts and
causes an early death...

What month was it in MM&FF? I would love to read that article. I'm in the swirl boat 
and I don't know why! I always take so much care washing the car, I go from the top down, I rinse my mit often, I keep the surface very wet, I wash it often so there's not a lot of dirt...but mega swirls are starting to apear!
