Just thought i'd share

So the other day i had my friend help me take off my tire so that i could paint the rims. well we got 2 done easy. and were on to the third. done easy. but when we go to put it back on he goes and snaps off a lugnut and the bolt it screws on! God i was pissed. but i just thought i'd share.

rears arent too hard to replace, the fronts are 10x harder.

eww that sucks. like what 97blackack said that it should be a easy fix. did you tint your headlamps? you should asked AznX TL, since he got flamed for his.
