Are you referring to MY tails/rims? or the friend's that I just posted?
With spacers I'm 19x9 F+35 R+25
Thank you, GP...coming from you, quite a compliment.
Gracias, amigo!
great pix dude....The Machine, first thing I would suggest is turn the Acura emblem 
If Ryan plays black on that color, would be so beautiful
Has black on rims, yes need spacers
Has black on tails
Tint too
Black headlights, black grill, Type-S side marker, debagde, plastidip the "V"
A-Spec..done sexy as hell

Would it be better if we didn't ask what the hell is going in in that picture??? Seems like we might be better off not knowing. Still a sweet car tho.
I've been there MEKO, sad to see your own car like that. Next mod should be a garage!

Mine has been fine. I haven't encountered any heat-soak issues. 
-knock on wood-
And you're still prone to it cracking when it gets hot up there!

LOL...
Ok, I was going to crop Austin out of that picture, but decided it would cut the car out too much so I left him there. I asked him repeatedly to put a shirt on though, he insisted NO.
MEKO, dang right man...fkn 90 degrees out here still man...
Ok, guy in the picture is my neighbor friend...him and his boys were going for a jog (1 of them was the owner of the 335).

haha the topless guy does steal the show, like the "short-less" guy in Steven's pix 
Meko, winter has been very nice in KS so far....usually you do see a nice film of ice covering the car....make sure you dont start the car and heat the windshield...a lot of windshields crack that way....super cold on the outside and super hot on the inside, cracks them up....
Jeremy, we need more pix of your car....seeing your car never gets old....almost makes me slap myself as I dont keep my car as clean as I would like to...

Bird is the Word
After seeing that front shot of the 335, I'm still not impressed. I don't know much about those cars, but I've seen some that look good and aggressive others that are very plain and boring.

Are you kidding me.. 90? What the hell
Last year around this time, after finals I was Maine for skiing
I saw -34 F in the morning, don't ask at night

Turned on the full heat, nothing happend
Predatorbirdy I know exactly what you mean but not sure, I guess because it doesn't have the M package

^^^ fill a glass - glass with water and put it in the microwave for 1 minute....while its in there, take a napkin and soak it in cold water....
then remove the glass from the microwave using the napkin...see what happens.....its the same funda with windshields....they particularly crack when you have like an inch or more of snow on the windshield....
better safe than sorry

and here:
https://www.google.com/search?q=wind...hrome&ie=UTF-8
yes the windshields are make tough !!! they withstand many things, but one of those moments where you wish things didnt happen....as I said, better safe than sorry....
some people might have gone through their lifetime doing that without and issue and some crack the windshield the first time when they did heated it up in the cold....
either way, am done explaining/justifying....gave you my
from what I have heard

Yup 8am, -32F
They closed the skiing area and everything..
But in DD, when it's around 28F in the morning, how long will you wait for it.
Heaters doesn't blow hot air all of a sudden anyways
if I was in up north everyday around 5F or soemthing, then I would think about it and lower the speed of the heat or whatever
I am saying it is true but we don't have to go crazy about it

Anil just wants you to suffer and freeze your bum off in your car for fear of cracking the windshield. In 2009 when I went to Switzerland, it hit -16 C in the mountains one night...my uncle's car's manual shift would NOT move out of neutral because he hadn't swapped the tranny fluid for winter yet. Crazy.
Thanks Anil...she ain't as clean as I trick you all with my pictures! I promise.

start the heater to the "feet" only mode....this way you dont get cold air blown at your face...once it starts getting a little warm inside the car, you can switch to the defroster mode
i aint saying dont turn the heater on LOL....
but yeah i dont turn my heater on just to see, if I delete my heater, would I be able to live without it
