I have been working my ass off. Been real busy. This fucking asshole gets on to sunrise highway starts to go and then jams on his brakes for no reason, he gets out and tells me sorry just wanted to be safe.
If he wasn't and old man he would be buried next to my cat.

Another thing that just pisses me off to no end, is it got the a-spec lip by like a frigging inch.
On the positive side, I will have a bumper cover with no holes in it lol.

for one, I think they are a bit small looking. if your going to go aftermarket, you gotta go a bit bigger on the RL.
two, they make your car look cheap. you drive a $50k car and you put on RJ's? doesnt work in my book.
three, the look just doenst go. the rims are trying to be sporty looking and the car just isnt. its a classy car, needs classy rims.
i know you dont want to hear it, but thats my opinion. if you dont like it, who cares its your car, but dont post up pics and not expect to hear comment. i mean, isnt that what you are looking for anyway?

I am ordering a new bumper cover, a-spec lip, chrome grill trim, and the chrome piece that goes on the hood first thing in the morning. I hope to pick up the parts saturday get the cover in the shop on monday. see how it goes

Actually damn near all of them do it New car dealers included. Why tie up a booth for a touch up or small repair when you can do it outside and buff it and never tell. I have seen alot of dealers do it this way. Me personaly wouldn't do it but you talking about dealers they don't care. Hell I can take you to several big dealerships (Multi Brands) and show you them in action..

I'm sorry to say this.. but I had owned 3 sets of RJ's before. All 3 sets had paint peel within 8 months. I waxed them and taken good care of them and yet they peeled and the paint was fading on all 3 sets. Ronjon is a good guy dont get me wrong, he has helped me and I was more than glad to submit photos to him. But the quality was horrible. Weak offsets.

The reason I went with 18's is cause I already had good tires, didn't want to go 19's and 20's would die on NYC potholes.
I do like to think of my car as Sporty, and I do think it would keep up with the Type S auto just fine.
Classy rims cost $$$ and I didn't want to deal with any possible issues aftermakret wheels were going to bring. It was either dealer accessory or nothing. I got a good discount on the wheels I got and I am happy with th elook. The offset is what brings them out more and makes them look bigger than the 18's they are.

Dan, sorry to see your car like that. Happy to see that you've made it outa there with no injuries to the other party.
I would like to make it to you this month for a detail and maybe rear brakes.
I decided to use my car for the wedding so it needs to look presentable.

Brandon, just wanted to let you know that the Transcend 16GB 400x cards got amazing write speed.
I am shooting HD video at 51mbits while shooting raw+jpeg and the buffer doesn't even show up. I've shot 6 in a row and that thing didn't even slow down.
You can shoot video and photos at the same time, w00t

Steve, thanks for the comments, I do appreciate honest opinions.
The reason I went with 18's is cause I already had good tires, didn't want to go 19's and 20's would die on NYC potholes.
I do like to think of my car as Sporty, and I do think it would keep up with the Type S auto just fine.
Classy rims cost $$$ and I didn't want to deal with any possible issues aftermakret wheels were going to bring. It was either dealer accessory or nothing. I got a good discount on the wheels I got and I am happy with th elook. The offset is what brings them out more and makes them look bigger than the 18's they are.

Personally have seen them, and know of the quality.

Cool. I think I read something about the 7D making a pause in the video that you have to edit out later or something. I could be wrong.

what dealerships u deal with so i know to never get a car from those.... the dealerships ive been in contact with ALL paint the car in a booth even if its just a bumper or something small
& if the dealership doesnt paint it themselves in an on site spray they send it to an off site SHOP tht they do business with.
