Our OEM visors came in today for both FITS. Plus my wife got me a Mugen Short Shifter as a random gift . Plus since she doesn't want to rise her car I get to keep the RSB, which we go on sometime soon.

Wish me luck - I'm about to go rip the dashboard apart to install a new radio/nav system in my 2010 base. Crutchfield to the rescue!!

the 2012 grill bothered me a bit since I bought the car, doesn't look as good as the older model grills imo. so I took it off and did a diy plasti-dip spray on it



and then I also noticed how many "friends" the TW fit attracted

Finally got some "new rubber" on it... hooo weee.... must've scared that motorist when I came down the ramp at almost 40 mph (no more squealing), showing up just as suddenly right next to him (or her) on a stupidly short ramp. I accelerated, they braked... and I took off. buh bye.

hum... I just realized something... they're brand new tires... they most likely have that anti-stick gunk on it still... >.<

I had thought about moving to a summer/winter combo... but couldn't find a summer tire that I liked. Sure, there are plenty of high performance tires, but they don't last long.

I'm not all that thrifty... but it seems kinda wasteful for me to use those tires.

In the end, I just got another set of Conti DWS tires.

Are your front wheels coming out of the fender or are they flushed inside ?

No clue. Didn't look. I usually do the first earlier than needed (1500-3500) and then 20% on the MM thereafter.

Yea front tires have some poke I think they stick out like 1/4" or more. I don't really know I'll check it out later, the rear tires about flush

lines off hood from scratch from bra? if yes, the polish would help.

No scratch just a fade line I guess it's what you call it
