You should have no problems selling those. They are gorgeous.

About the brakes...yep, and for some reason the rear inside pads like to compress unevenly...also a cause for the quick wear...the outside pads were still ok but the inside would start squealing super early.

Basics are more than enough...if I could go back, I'd have done the same. I change height, I NEVER touch the rebound...I have it set to almost all the way soft. Comfort is a big deal to me.

wha...he swapped out his vossens? why? lol i should probably be directing these questions to him...

oh kait, try posting in the classified section on azine...might get more legit interest. or it might go the route of ed_423 and it'll be the most bumped thread with no interest at all...

Ed actually sold his wheels thanks solid persistence and the fact that we all urged him to keep them.

Post in the black market section, make sure you post pics of all the wheels close up

ttk hasn't sealed the deal yet although I know the champ has paid...he may have a local offer, but yes, patience DOES pay off.

Hihi!

This isn't really an update, but I wanted to take better pics of the tint. Of course, I just washed it and it starts snowing even though it isn't supposed to

-.-

By the end of April, I will have much more done Stay tuned.





OH. And the Vossens were sold locally. Going to update that thread in a minute

Because about 102% of the guys on this site wish your plate read...
"MS AVAILABLEANDREALLYHORNY"
...that's why!

Looks great, though...I was talking to my friend yesterday about black and white cars...white shows dirt but not swirls, black shows swirls but reflects through dirt (if properly maintained). Can't win either way, but my next car will be something easier to keep looking great.

Lmfao.

Yeah, I love white. I don't know about the person that had the car before me, but this car will only be washed by me or a hand car wash. I hate the swirlies!

Haha. Good! Genuine guys are few and far between these days.

Glad my thread went all philosophical, lmao. This should just be called "The build and ramble thread"

ALSO the license plate was originally intended to be a play on words. Ms Taken for the way that you all interpreted it. .and "Mistaken" as in I am always thought to be something that I am not, people don't "get me," etc.

Like the fact that I like cars. Not many people get that. My girl friends at least.

gettin back to the car.. ... what do you think of the 30% tints? I purchased my WDP I think with that and sometimes it feels too light.. probably because it is 30% all around.. my buddy just got the same TSX as you and trying to convince him to get 20% on the rear window and 30% on the sides...

i have a feeling this summer I am going to pull off the 30% on the sides and replace them with 25%.. wont do the rear because whoever tinted did a great job... cant ruin a great tint job like that

as for the swirls when someone said you cant see it in white then you are mistaken.. I bought the car used and can see it... annoys the hell out of me.. crappy part is I still take it to a car wash because damage is done... need to get the car repainted again and then start fresh

Kait, so whats up next or are you just waiting on the rims to be sold? I think my buddy is looking at smoke tints for his front and rear lights... I couldnt convince him to get JnC or ACKTL lights.. and he wont do his own

i have 20% on the rear windshield and rear doors, and 35% on the front windows. i think its pretty good.

and you don't need a repaint if you have swirls, a good clay bar will do wonders, and after a good wax, should look pretty damn close to great

Haha -- yes, lots of girl friends.

I am getting the 19' RJ Legends. +48 offset front +32 rear. I am driving over to Yonkers ~first weekend in May to go pick them up and check out the warehouse.

I am dropping the car between 2 and 2.2 inches on April 7th - Tein SS.

I love the 30%. Honestly, if I could redo it I would get 35%. I'm over the really dark look. I like it because people can't see in but I think that light tint looks much cleaner. I actually saw a GTI on the road the other day, looked like the tint percentage was around 40% because I could see everything in the car perfectly fine. But it just had this perfectly smoked look. Looked really clean.

I would just leave it with what you have. A 5% difference isn't THAT much. If you were going to go significantly darker I would say go for it. But I guess if you have extra cash to throw around, why not

Also, rims were sold locally.
