So buy them! They are a great looking wheel, but do not let anyone change your mind. If it is something you like then buy them...its your car...not theirs

honestly, i don't think i'd care too much about the warranty on the install. the megans should come with their own warranty and unless done by an idiot, shouldn't fail due to install. if they fail, you'll be going through product warranty and they prob wont pay for a reinstall anyway. do it with a buddy who isn't a idiot, more fun, plenty of DIY

Update

Hey guys so took my car into the Acura dealer that I got it from for a service.. it was giving me the "B1" light/indication on the gauge.. Turns out it needed an oil change.. They did it for free! Even the tire rotations (Knowing people helps) Um.. THEY put some tool on my wheel which ruined my plastidip on the front driver side wheel so i decided to take it ALL off right then and there.. Later that night i went and picked up black caliper paint and ordered the "ACURA" stickers for the caliper.. waiting for those to come in so i can get started

Car Meet <3

So i went to a local car meet last night around 7:30ish..? And ended up staying until 10:30 There were LOTS of cars! Mostly Sti's, Civic's and Mustangs... I was the only 2g Tsx there that i saw.. Saw a 1g tsx with some TE37's but thats about it for tsx.. LOTS of Rsx's same stance.. Miro's.. Um.. I diddnt really get a chance to snap that many pictures because i was more worried about walking around and eating my Subway sandwich

But I had heads turing with my underglows.. DONT JUDGE ME THEY ARE ON A SWITCH.. Haha

Later that night i had a supra park next to me

But heres a pic of my car before the meet where my friends decided to meetup



Then the only two pics i have on my phone from the night.. THESE WERE TAKEN at 7:30 when i arrived Nicer cars started comin in around 8:30 ish?

Painted calipers

Should have done this before the update about the car show but... I painted my calipers black and got "ACURA" decals on them!
Don't worry that black plasti dip is comin off soon!
Some pics..



Sorry for the bad pic.. I was rushing..



Finished product!

just being honest, but the painted calipers look horrible lol. the calipers are too small for it to be all fancy with stickers and what not.
