Hey Sojah, have you rolled or shaved those rears or fronts?

fronts will most likely be rolled here in the very near future, as i never had a need to do them before but it rubs mostly in the front presently. the rears were shaved a while back and then i cut out the first 2-3 inches of fender liner cuz the tire was hitting the fender liner part closest to the lip of the rear fenders making a nasty noise but it really wasn't doing much damage to anything so i cut a lot of it out and now it occasionally makes the noise over gigantic dips in the highway but there is zero signs of any damage to the tires or car. i was told that eventually the part of the inside fender liner will eventually just sort of disintegrate and burn off if you will.

the fronts need to be rolled at least if i'm going to continue to run this low and expect to have passengers in the car too but it doesn't make any sounds when its just me right now


also the trafficstar logo was something i had been planning for a very long time: i have one set (x2) of the original colors logo (white lettering with blue and red shield or crest) left over that are made out of good quality 3m vinyl material if anyone is interested (PM me). these were selling for like $35 in japan.

gotta love the weather - 70's on Friday, and snow last night and this morning. guess you'll be cleaning the wheels each time you have to go out until it rains. lol. mine are trashed again because of this mess.

yeah, been cleaning them with a bucket of soapy water and a mitt. its not bad to leave a slight maguire's soapy solution on your wheels is it? and i'm sure its much better than the alternative of leaving salty *** dirt all over the wheels.

The new wheels look really good on there Suprised you put them on so early with all the salt we have on the roads, I will prob put mine back on mid march.

I really like that roof spoiler, I've been debating whether to get one of those or the small trunk lip spoilers or even both.

thanks buddy, and i'm a little surprised too, the 70 degree weather on saturday got to me and the weekend before was nice too.

my prediction was that it would not snow yesterday since it had been changed to rain, and i was originally going to take my wifes car but she had to go to a college lab thing so no dice. i just finished washing them again so we shall see if that method of washing them every day until the salt is gone pays off or not...

i think the roof spoiler is more rare and unique looking myself so thats why i choose that one. the trunk spoilers look good but are sort of common on cars. both looks alright on some cars but possibly too busy so i just picked one.
