Thanks for the amazing wheels again man!
Yea the front tire was a little flat lol took it right to the gas station to pump it up after I got them on lol
I actually had to raise my car to get them to fit from how it was before lol but yea I'm trying to go for something simple and nothing too crazy
thanks man!
Hoping to get a photoshoot in one of these days so I can get some better shots of them lol
thanks man i'm super happy with these lol had a couple other sets in mind as well.

Don't know if anyone has had experience with this air freshener yet but I've heard really good reviews about this specific scent for luxury cars and wanted to give it a shot. The container looks pretty darn fancy also so I'm not complaining but I'm leaving it in overnight for now so we'll see how it goes

Got a gift from my buddy today, he got a new shift knob and decided to give me his OEM 08 Accord V6 shift knob. Mine was pretty beat up so I had no problem with wanting to replace it lol. It's not circular at the bottom so it doesn't sit the same but it fits fine and isn't noticeable unless you look up close. Here's the before and after.

Little update on what's been going on. This past weekend I was driving out of state and one of my tires popped from a nail...so, went and bought a used tire for a pretty good deal and took it to discount tire to get it installed. After driving on it for about half an hour I noticed that the wheel was jerking to the right and pulled into a gas station. It was flat again! I pulled it off and I knew it didn't blow because I didn't run over a nail or anything so I thought maybe I just didn't pump it up and it was my fault. I go to pump it and realize that the fucker who put on the tire didn't even tighten the TPMS sensor on the valve stem side! Which caused the leaking. So I tightened it thanks to a worker who luckily had a socket wrench for me. Went back to discount tire today and they tell me the tire is no good anymore because it is separating and has bubbles in it. And proceed to tell me to order a new tire from them. I'm furious!
Damn that sucks... Talk to one of the General Managers. Discount so usually pretty good at fixing situations for customers. The only issue is you didn't get the tire from them. However, it seems to be their techs fault for not checking the sensor. They are brand new sensors too.
Nice ride, already done many things to the car in a short time period. Always seems when other ppl do installs they don't run into problems such as installing your coilovers (could be wrong). But every time I've installed something I ALWAYS run into a bolt that doesn't want to budge (gotta love the midwest weather) which makes the install a PITA. Did you use an impact or the good ole socket with leverage? Any use of PB plaster prior to install?

Yea my buddy for some reason didn't like it and I don't know why lol I like the feel of it even though it's taller than the stock knob.
Yea I actually worked with the senior manager when I first got them mounted and talked to him afterwards, they were able to find me a new tire, gave me 50% off and mounted, balanced, and installed everything for free.
Mine came right out, just a socket with a breaker bar lol, no pb blaster at all. And yes this midwest weather is just... 
Tell me about it
Thanks a lot man!

Well guys....On July 21st I was driving down from my house and while passing a Stop Light intersection a lady heading the other way failed to yield and turned. I ran into her rear side and my car was damaged in the front. We pulled over and made sure no one was hurt but she was in a rush to leave and only showed me her insurance card and drove off without me being able to get her phone number or license plate. After reviewing the picture I took of the insurance card it was already expired. Cops came and declared it a hit and run and are currently looking to prosecute her for Reckless Driving, Driving with no Proof of Insurance, and Hit and Run which is a felony in Minnesota....My poor baby....upon initial inspection damages are looking right about $5000 in repairs without taking off any panels or even opening the hood....
