I need help with rims and intake

What's up boys.....I need some help. My first issue deals with intake, i just bought an AEM cold air intake and i wanted to know if anyone knows if the aem will void the warranty before i put it on. My next issue deals with iforged flux fs rims doesn anyone knwo where i can get a set cheap? I found a website called dirtcheaprims.com and what they do is allow u to order through them, let then knwo what kinda rim u want and they get it for u and sell it to you for 10% off but i think there could be a better deal out there. By the way just kinda dented up and scratched my cl pretty good yesterday after having it only for a couple weeks . A biker wasnt being patient at a red light and didnt realize i was making a right hand turn and when the light turned green gunned it right into the side of my damn car brushed against the entire side of my car tearing back the right rear bumber a little and denting and scratching my door as well as my rim competely being gashed. I look at it this way though, its just a chance to put my car in the shop and makin it a little hotter lookin when it comes out
Thanks ahead for any advice that come in....

The AEM intake won't void your warrenty.

As for cheap iForged wheels, well, thats a bit of an oxy-moron. As they say, you gotta pay to play and iForged are $$$$.

That sucks about what happened to your car. Hopefully it will come out of the shop better than it was before. Just curious, where is the body shop? Is it good or you going there for insurance? Just curious cause I wanna find a body shop myself to do some minor work.

Don't talk to a salesmen, they don't know shit once the car leaves the lot. Ask a service rep. Most dealers won't give you crap for a CAI, but once in awhile you will find some bull-headed dealers.

yeah i actually bought the intake for $50 off a member in the service center. He had takin it off a
cl-s and it was on there for 2,000 miles but when it was traded in and in order for acra to warranty it they had to take off the performance work and the got to keep the part but had no use for it so i kinda lucked out

If you need service and they try and hassle you cause of the intake just print out the magnuson-moss act from here http://www.magnusonproducts.com/magnusonmoss.htm
Pretty much, they have to prove the intake caused the part in question to fail. And if they still give you trouble, find another dealer. Its not worth it to fight some of these asshole dealers.

And dude, :stfu: This issue has been gone over plenty of times. Some parents just like to give their kids nice things. And as long as he appreciates the car and knows how lucky he is, I see nothing wrong with it.

well, yeah, they had put everything back to stock to make it 'certified pre-owned' but that doesn't mean they won't warranty the work.
