Really? wow, that is a coincidence. Yeah i was working with Frank Marsala after Fleetrates got a good deal from him. I always wondered how much you guys had to pay for the agent over at Fleetrates to refer me over. Because they sure gave me a great deal. Are you a sales representative?

I am glad you found a good deal and that it was my store
Personally I am not in sales, but I do know we dont pay the agent directly, we pay the company and they pay out their employees.

Just noticed that I'm gonna need new tires. Waited too long to flip them. That's what you get when you have -6 degrees camber in the rear. Good thing I just got my Figs rear Mega Arms and toe links.

So I decided to swap back to stocks. When I was finishing up, I was rolling my car off the wooden blocks and my lip got caught. It ripped off my lip and the corners of my bumper where it meets the fender. So now I have nothing holding the sides of my bumper. I need a bumper quick release. Can anyone chime in?

Here we go again... Plywood vs My IS250 at 70MPH. This could be my calling for IS-F front bumper conversion. Looking for SGM 06-08 bumper with no front plate holes.

It's funny how CHP denied to file a counter claim for me. Good news was my comprehension is only 100 deductible. New bumper it is!

I'll join in lol. I just washed and waxed my car three days ago. I come outside today and pollen has completely covered the car especially in the water spots which just popped up because it was foggy last night... FML. Attached is a pic, I raised the exposure so it's visible.

I'm in SF too and I saw the same thing on my car a week ago. I thought it was my neighbor's over-spray paint during construction, I was going to kill someone. I wiped a couple parts off and it seems like it's not paint. I first thought it was because of the new wax I used, but it also could be your what you said--pollen.
