When I brought it for the original estimate it was at Don McGill Toyota (where insurance told me to meet them) and the insurance adjustor said they would use new parts except for the grille and front bumper and I think headlight which would be lkq (like known quality) next morning I brought it to John Eagle and the Allstate insurance adjustor/estimator guy said that they would only use new OEM Acura parts because they could get them around the same price as the lkq parts (ex. Used bumper was $440 on estimate, new bumper was like $550). At john eagle their new estimate was $3800 with the new parts vs $3200 with the lkq parts so they went ahead with the new OEM parts (only way to get lifetime warranty on the parts). The insurance adjustor was clear with me that they would only use new OEM parts and all the parts say that on the estimate they used.

I ran a tire like that on my old Ody... it was fine, but when I got a flat later in a different spot, the tire place flat out refused to fix it cause the tire was "unsafe".

That's why I go to random used(ie not big name) tire shops to get flats fixed since the workers there don't pull the "unsafe" bs. Plus it's usually 1/5th the price for flat repairs.

Btw, would you guys run this tire or no? I got it with the Evo wheels and it's practically brand new, but I don't need it so I was gonna sell it... The tire is worth around $160 brand new, was gonna sell it for $150 obo until I found this today...

I think most whole sale places like Costco, Sam's BJs take nails out for free + fix if they can, as long as you have their membership.

I ended up just fixing it myself, all they do is put in that really sticky tar like patch thing. So i bought a patch kit and fixed it myself for like 10 bucks.

It was a 90s cereal, but they stopped selling it in 06. I think most Targets are carrying them, but a lot of them have been selling out as well. The whole section where this cereal was in one Target just had a huge gap lol.

And shit, just saw that some people paid $10-11 for a box on eBay.

I've been trying to find wheels that look similar to XXRs with the concave look that fit our specs. The only thing similar that I've found are Enkei Raijins but they're not concave in our fitments.
