I could be biased though.


I'm going to repaint the Brembos within the next week. Already ordered the stickers. Just have to decide on what color.

The stuff that sticks to your face, melts slightly, then drips off?

Plenty of that in LA. Though we have a different word for it.

I got 265-35-18s on mine with no trouble 18x8.5 inch wheels. You could run a bigger tire if you want.

Looking back I figured I probably could've run the wider tire and not had any problems. But my alignment, actually my toe, was bad on all 4 corners so I was showing metal cords on the insides of all my tires. Discount tire said it was going to be a 5-7 day wait on the 255/40 tire and I didn't feel comfortable driving my tires that long so I just went with stock size which they had in store.

I'm actually contemplating buying some 245/40/18 for the aspecs for the same reason but I can't justify the money knowing I'll end up putting the Advan back on rather quickly.

Thanks man!


Plasti-dipped the grille again this weekend, except this time I did the whole grille instead of just the center bar. I'll grab some pics today sometime when I get a chance.

Well most of my pics are with my iPhone, these are really quick pics with my 6 Plus. We have a Panasonic LUMIX that's a few years old that I sometimes use too but I don't ever think to take it when I come home from school

Don't bust his balls too hard, he does really good considering he's using sloth claws.

Lol. I was browsing through the NBP thread a few days ago and saw his first pics when he first got his coils. His photography has come a looooong way.

Finally something new for my car! Was able to find a local guy selling these for a complete steal so I picked them up. Just got to wait for them to get mailed down to me at school.
