While the guy was at the shop they got to talking, became cool found out he was selling the previous ones on CL, and the guy ended up selling him a set of 20x8.5 front, 20x10.5 rear that retail at 220 a piece, with tires (practically new) for $500 total. So if he can't get them cheap thru his company he gets them off of the people who visit his job apparently lol.

RAMBLING ALERT!!
So, I'm browsing the new posts and find 2 or 3 posts from different usernames, all just became members with little or no other posts, asking how to do things like retrieve radio codes bc its not written anywhere (theft code too maybe?) And how to bypass the alarm system bc 'the wireless doesn't work and even with the key it goes off'... it may just be the fact that I have watched 4 episodes in a row of Law & Order but it sounds like shady mcgee on here tonight lol

I hear AWESOME things about that soap. I bought their "Mr. Pink" and the heavy one for bugs and tar, ect, I'll use that one to strip my car of the wax/sealant, ect.





Once I get all the stuff I'll be taking pics I'm very excited to try their stuff out.

The citrus one will do that as well, depending on how strong you mix it. It suds like crazy in the bucket, it just doesn't seem to transfer to the car as much as I'd like. Let me know how the pink stuff is as far as suds on the car/lubricity.
One of these days I'll invest in a foam gun.

There os only 1 set that i dont want him to sell, plan on putting them on my tl as soon as the warranty is up, faulken rt7m..i am absolutely in love with those.


Personally I agree with the 2 sets like the others were saying lol.

The fourth one down is the set he just bought the other night for cheap. That was the first used set he got for the TL and i was a little pissed bc of the damage around the lip on that one, but he assured me it was just the paint and he could fix it. We shall see lol

Thanks! We both have anthracite, but I like his (the one pictured) bc the interior is black. Mine originally had a light gray interior but its now dingy light gray thanks to my kids spilling all of their drinks and crap lol.

The SSM is nice, i was actually wanting that or an RBP but couldn't find one with Navi and that was a must for me. I ended up getting the Anthracite shipped from Kentucky, bc I just couldn't find a 3g TL Navi anywhere over here.

I'm on page 10 of 24 on the '04 to'08 front lower control arm bushing failure thread. I hope someone has a solution by the time I get to the end

The funny thing is, I sub'd to that thread on page 2 and never followed up. Almost 4 years later, I'm still driving on a bad one.

Not being a smartass, but shouldn't you replace the bushings if they are going bad?

yeah, I'm looking into what the damage will be now. Should have done it years ago, I know, but it hasn't been negatively affecting the way it drives, so I let it go. Not too smart, but then I never claimed to be

Funny. Hers is AM with black interior and navi. Mine is SSM with black interior without navi and I'm the one who drives 1,500 miles a week. Lol. It wouldn't be hard to die that interior black. I wouldn't hesitate to do it.

Someone did discover a solution...... Replace the bushings when they fail. There is a nice home made tool on the last 1 or 2 pages of the thread so you can do the work at home easily and save $$$.
