That is not true. There are plenty of high end wheel companies now making wheels for center lock cars. Infact BBS and HRE both have some awesome ones.

I wrote on a fairly long paragraph to the acura instagram poster person on one of their photos the other day and it looks like I got their attention because they just liked one of my TL photos haha.


I was basically letting them know they need to get their shit together.

The only pads that I've had experience with that don't make a lot of dust are the ones in my pmu calipers. I'm not sure which type they are, but when it's time to change them I will look. It might be a while though before that happens.

If my current employer had a location in the Charlotte area, I'd be there. I love my job though, don't think I'd pack up and leave it behind...

Thanks, looking at either stop tech or hawks hps. Heard decent review they just don't perform as great as oem but brake dust is significantly reduce by a lot.

I think I came just thinking about it

Also, I think I realized what my dream job would be. I want to work for a crazy rich guy as his sole "automotive caretaker." He can just pay me to take care of anything related to cars. Getting them serviced, working with shops to perform his modifications, organizing shipping logistics if he's going somewhere and wants to take cars with him, etc...

Oh my

Evan, your car is perfect IMO. Not too flashy or overdone; simple aggressiveness

Of course that compliment comes with a price, so I expect delivery of the car tomorrow.
