Picture of the bling bling

Pics coming of the rims tonight !

Just bought some lugnuts finally. They're blue, which I wasn't a big fan of... but it turns out the blue matches my car's color almost perfectly. Tires are getting mounted as I speak, shouldn't be long now ! *can you tell I'm excited*

Going to run out and wash my car since it's so nice out =D

nooooooo!

Lee....you need to ream their shit. Merchant Tire did the same thing to 2 of my dad's wheels, and he fortunately picked it out before he left the lot.

he took the manager out, showed him, and the manager went on to deny he did it. basically my dad just sat him down, and told him that they tore up his rims and he had all day to sit there and listen to his denials, because thing were going to get fixed one way or another. eventually they had them repainted for him.

A friend and I put the STI air splitters on last night in like 20minutes. Required a little hole cutting in my bumper, and I bought 3M double sided tape to use but didn't end up using it. STI scoop, repainting those calipers and sideskirts, and maybe some Prodrive springs and I'll be happy with the exterior.

FINALLY got around to repainting my calipers tonight... did them in black this time with a much higher quality paint. It's mixed with a curing agent so it bonds into a super solid substance that I am completely unable to get off my skin.

STI scoop is on too, and I have JDM aeroguards coming in a few months. Hopefully by then I'll have new tires for my rims, or have powder coated my stockers for the wintertime. I'll take some more pics when it all comes together.

After this I should be done with my car cosmetically haha. MAYBE some new springs to lower it a bit, but I'll tack that into the performance department instead Wink

what are these exactly? i'm thinking of those rain-visor things you put on your window....

you've done a great job with the car so far, Lee. i think the STi scoop will top it off (no pun intended) and you could probably call it a day 8)
