I've been contemplating about getting wheel locks myself. I have a driveway though. When you go out I guess you should park in well lit areas. I guess eventually it'll become unavoidable that we have to park in a quiet street since it is NYC and parking is hard to come by.

My future in-laws live in Bronx and I'm always too scared to drive my TSX there. I always fly in . They live off 3rd ave near the E138th st. I like the color! Enjoy!

Well i was unsure if I could do a 9.5 front. But since you now mention it dont be shy and let us see. Also why you need a spacer in rear.

Thanks guys im still debating on wheels and the grille thing has me stressed. Gonna definately put on my magnaflow mufflers and some weathertech window visors. Gonna drop off my deck lid spoiler, roof spoiler and oem grille at the body shop so they can paint it to pwp. Also have to get some uv protectant window tint (80%) and 8 O2 nd mid range speakers for the interior. My credit cards are not bleeding yet so im good to go. I just have to get rid of these work rims in my living room.

Looking nice T-jay and see you're raising the bar very quickly. In my humble opinion I think the height is low enough and If I were you I'll leave it that way. NYC roads are crappy already.
