^ Those cars look good.

So I finally got my TPMS in the mail. They were shipped on April 13 via USPS from Florida. Item arrived on May 4. That is 16 business days including the day of shipping and day of arrival. My question is, what is the general cost of shipping via USPS for an item marked as $90, originating in the U.S.? I was charged $30 for shipping to have it arrive 3 weeks later. Is this a reasonable shipping charge and duration?

edmua6

that took so long. so he charged you 120$ for everything? he charged me 130$ for all of them. lol.

that's to long. I got spacers from US in 7 days. And I paid 20$ for shipping. But that was from Cali so I don't know where you got your TPMS shipped from

v|nsan|ty

Each TPMS was $25. I ordered 5 of them since I'm assuming one of mine has malfunctioned. The subtotal was $125 and he charged $30 for shipping, so $155 USD in total.

It's kind of a joke to see how much I paid for shipping to have it arrive 3 weeks later. I had a package of ink toner shipped from New York on April 11 and it arrived one week ago. I paid $3.99 for that shipping. Seriously wtf?

v|nsan|ty

It was shipped from Seffner, Florida.

Well after almost a year of looking at horrid curbed wheels, I am going to take the task of refinishing them all with my own hands and blow your motherfucking minds.

How all my wheels are...

Not sure how someone can curb wheels this bad

outer lip all sanded down ready for filler, sanding down the rest of the wheel for a fresh coat of paint, or might pull the tires off and get them powdercoated something cool.

I just put my 17x9's in the rear, car looks stupid with two a/m wheels and two stockers but whatever.

Yeah I do know Elvis, I bought some Falken wheels from him in 2008 for my Dad's camry, then he sold the car, I stole the wheels and tossed them on my TSX... I didnt care about wheel fitment or anything at the time... heres what it looked like..i dont know where all my nice pics of the car are...only smashed :P

v|nsan|ty

Oh one more thing to mention. On my package containing the TPMS, the USPS label on the upper right hand corner has a postage paid amount, $4.03. So where did the rest of my $25.97 I paid towards shipping go hmm?

Lol damn Sanjay those are really curbed. Mine just have damage slightly along the edges but they are far more subtle than what your previous owner did to them.

myron

Good work there Sanjay. What do you use to fill that rash? Just body filler or something, then just sand it after? Those wheels look terrible, like the previous owner was grinding some rails with that car haha

Yea Elvis was telling me that story about you buying his wheels after he'd seen you at Speeders once and I was there with him. He's like "That's Darkness from 780" after we left already. Then I was telling him that you post on this site too. Small world


Vincent, I don't know what's up with those shipping charges. It might be duties and all and taxes. Shipping isn't that much but other shit adds up fast

edmua6

Sanjay, did you get an alignment when you got your TL? Those are major curb rash.

Darkness.

Cant forget the cost of the box and probably buddies time lol, everyones always trying to make a profit. Why did you get new tmps? Were you getting wrong pressure readouts or was it saying TPMS error?

Yeah I'll be using body filler, spent like 1hr researching it after Arthur told me to just do it since I know body work lol, low and behold, its not that hard to do :P Just time consuming as all fuck. Haha no kidding, def small world. I havent been to speeders in over a month! I need my fix, I used to go almost every week. Whats your fastest time?

Sure did, it could use another one since the spring thaw.

^ I haven't been in over 2 months, I heard they changed the track. I only did 7 races there. I feel like it's a rip[ off too, 20$ for 5 min, damn. My best time was 22.5xx I think I am not even sure any more. I still have 1 more race there that I didn't use up

iChinese

hey guys i just receive my decal and my chrome trim, and i was wondering what you guys think!

edmua6

lookin good. i like your headlights

myron

iTrader: (4)

looks good man. I think it goes well with your headlights.

iChinese

Thanks guys! i've also order a deck lip spoiler off ebay for like 60 dollars now im just waiting for it to arrived.

v|nsan|ty

Meh the package was an envelope, no box. I like how he told me it would be fast shipping. Apparently fast shipping is 3 weeks. I went to Ed earlier today and he was telling me about how he ordered a helmet from Japan and paid $50 shipping for it. The helmet was shipped to his house in 3 days. There's fast shipping.
I got new TPMS because I got a set of 05 TL stock wheels for winter. The error message is really annoying so I got 4 new sensors to put on them. I also got one extra sensor since I'm assuming one of mine broke. I keep getting an error message when I turn on the car and don't get any psi readings.

Shit I don't know what is with me and my car. I experienced almost something like deja vu. Yesterday I saw Sanjay's pictures of his tl-s wheels and how they were so curbed. Today I was parking at work and was distracted talking, before I knew it I curbed the hell out of my front passenger wheel. FML.
Now I'm a bit worried I messed up the alignment. My car has been pulling to the left and right every now and then as I'm driving. I felt it pull a little bit after I had my tires swapped today so I don't know what's up with that.

@iChinese - Looks good. The front end of your car flows very well.

tsxsingh

Sanjay that picture of the tsx makes my soul cry.. esp cus its the same car and color as mine.. lol

just a few more days and i'll be rippin around in it again... miss that sexy bitch of mine

Darkness.

I think you're just paranoid, the roads in edmonton are complete ass, i bet its the curvature of our "flat" roads that are freaking you out

It makes me cry because I miss that car everyday!

tsxsingh

wanna trade for a weekend? lol :p

Darkness.

Hell no! You'll drive the piss out of my car!

just one for now. Pain in the ass but well worth it. Going on 9 hours now. Probably shouldn't have stopped and watched a movie in my garage

v|nsan|ty

Oh damn looks good Myron. Lmao wtf you have a tv in your garage? Did you put your zkw-r's in?

edmua6

Holy shit myron, lookin good! Sanjay, pmed!

iChinese

Looking good! did you black out the chrome that chrome strip too?

myron

iTrader: (4)

I am trying to install my bumper now and I am not sure if it's fitting right. It's hard doing this shit alone.

Yea I installed the ZKW-r but setting them up and bending the shield and shit was a pain in the ass. And no I got my laptop here and I was taking a break and watched a movie for 2 hours haha


iChina, yea I painted it black. I wanted to leave it chrome but after gluing it in place, I touched it with dirty hands and you could see all the fingerprints on there so I painted it black. I think it looks sharp like this too. I will post some more pics when I get this shit bumper on.

I also just spent 2 hours looking for a signal light bulb that burned out, just till my switchbacks get here.

iChinese

oh okay! when you put the bumper back try working on the middle first, cause i had a problem when i was putting my bumper back together and like one side would be longer than the other.. than my dad helped me and he pushed the middle back together and everything was in placed.

myron

Just tried to adjust the height of the beam and it seems that something is wring with the drivers side cut off. It's barely there. It was all fine when I test fitted it and now that I put it all together it doesn't seem good. Fuck. I can see some dirt on the projector lense so that might be the problem but they are all closed up and mounted. I was thnking of shooting some air though the DRL hole and maybe that way get rid of the dust specs, good idea? Any other opinions? I have no energy to fuck with it any more at this Point.
