But you got a good deal . Yeah, I know, that doesn't help...on the surface. Sell the one you ordered (you shouldn't loose much, if any, because you got it so cheap), and get the other one. Life is good. And my brain can function this early in the day .

Well still waiting to find out if the one for sale has a flat bottom on it cause it isn't super evident in the picture. That is a must for me cause getting out of the car ever with the car running is a tight fit with the high side bolsters. Also trying to decide if it might be to much carbon anyways. I do like the Alcantra and the the thicker parts of the wheel though. Tough choice. The one for sale used is about $150 more than what mine cost me but is also custom.

I like what you ordered better.

Whats up with RDX owners?

^ Same here. I think the other wheel, while nice, has too much carbon. You already have the carbon air vents too, I wouldnt overdo it.

Hmmmmmm that is a very good question. I guess lets go with University this time then. I am trying to get Megan to go out downtown Thursday night next week when she is here so I don't want to do Uni then so lets do it this week.

Ok, TMU it is. I probably won't be on tomorrow, so call if it changes. Cool thing is, I'll be closer to the university area than SP anyway .
Good luck getting her to TM and then out downtown. Thursday's a good day to go, though...as long as you don't have to work on Friday .

So I am staying with what I ordered but if this custom one ever goes for sale I will be first in line. Reminds me of the LF-A wheel.

Hello freaks!
I'll be making the trip tomorrow with the lady to visit some friends in Charlotte this weekend. Is there anything special going on that we should check out?
Neither of us have ever been, but if there's something cool going on I can make the suggestion that we go there Apparently the friends live within walking distance of "the bars" whatever that means (I assume downtown).
Thanks!

Jason - get the custom steering wheel. Take a number, sell a kidney, do what it takes.
Scottman - Cars & Coffee is Saturday morning...not much else of consequence that I know of . As for downtown ("uptown" as the tools call it), not my scene, but there's always something going on...well, typical bar/club stuff. You'll end up at Epicenter at some point...personally, I like BlackFinn there. Beyond that, RiRa's (Irish pub) is cool, and I've always liked Dixie's Tavern, although it's hit or miss crowd-wise. This is all bar-related...don't know a damn thing about clubs these days and couldn't care less. I hear Suite is big, though, and BAR is still around

Scottman, there's Cars and Coffee sat morning, two drift and car shows, and a flawless fitment meet at the technical mechanic college UTI.
I'm going to Cars and coffee and the flawless meet. Busy weekend and hopefully fun.

^^u referring to ur IS-F? u got those mods done to it already? if so, that biatch must be looking sexy. got pics?
yaaaa...right, maybe if i sell my house, lol.
i have a couple vehicles in mind. i'd like to get another SUV but the main one i like the styling on is the Range Rover Sport SC, but Range's are notorious for being relatively poorly made and year after year are ranked toward the bottom in customer satisfaction. away from the SUV route, i've been looking into new M3's, E550's, and used E55's & S550's. wish i could afford a new E55 or S550 but maybe in a couple years when i start reaping the benefits of my MBA. we'll see. either way, all i want to have to do to my new vehicle is wheels & tint...i'm not gonna f around with this one.

You surely will be rolling in the benefits of your MBA shortly I bet. I sometimes wish I went business instead of IT. I can start higher sometimes but I also reach my ceiling much quicker where as in business the sky is kinda the limit.
Yeah the Range Rover Sport SC is awesome but those rankings scare me too. The M3 is nice but BMW and Mercedes Reliability scares me so I stayed away for now as well. By having the TL still though you can deal with the possibility of the M3 being in the shop. I don't plan to do a lot to the F either its pretty much finished at this point other than maybe a few more cosmetic things. I think I was always have to do wheels, suspension, and exhaust on my cars ahah.

This is the F before the suspension and the wheels got refinished a different color since then.
Exhaust
Interior before and after. CF airvents and gauge trim. Added CF steering wheel since then as well.
