    Have you had the tires balanced recently?
    Sounds like it’s a balancing issue if it happens in a specific speed range.

    Monochrome everything. LED reverse lights.
    I have had this happen but only temporary on really hot days. being parked creates a small flat spot on the tire that will eventually solve itself as you drive it.

    If it doesnt go away then yes its a tire balance problem. It might have thrown off a weight which is why it suddenly started happening.

    What tires do you have? The stock OEM tires aren’t real great.

    I think the default road tires are the Yokohama $100 tires. In my years of tire experience, the cheap tires just didn't cut it (Thats what I could only afford at the time) ,until I was able to buy better tires, the drive handling was a completely different experience.

    Is plasti-dip a mod?!
    try checking tire pressures, mine does this when pressure drops just enough to cause a little shake at a certain speed.

    This might not have anything at all to do with the vibrations, but I noticed it slightly in my fiancé’s 17. I just changed her oil and while I was under it I greased both driveshafts. I noticed the front was pretty dry (she bought it used with 30k miles on it, it now has 36k) it took quite a few pumps of grease before it started to come out. After that, no more vibes. Coincidence? Maybe. Just sharing my experience.
