I figured it was just better to keep asking questions in my own thread rather than starting a new one! I ask a lot of questions sorry....that's just part of being a nerd I guess

Do the 19s, keep your OEM stuff as well. I take my wheels off and either raise my car back up or put my OEM suspension back on during the winter.

Oh for sure keeping everything...I was in SE Asia all last winter but from the pictures I saw, 10 foot snowbanks, and our metrodome roof collapsed from too much snow....so better not take any chances!!!

(why do I live here again?)

Oh the irony....that I named this thread "starting from scratch" because I just found a nice little gouge out of my rear passenger side bumper that magically appeared since this morning. Of course whoever it was didn't take responsibility and leave a note or anything. Worst part is it has to be someone who works in my building. Pretty upsetting considering I've only had it for one week :-(

Sorry to hear that. PPl are full of crap now a days...they hit you but too chicken to leave a note.

Samething happen to my bro's TSX. We went to lunch and came back out to find some pulled a hit & run on the side of his rear bumper. Stupid can't learn how to park... makes me wonder how the hell they got their driver license.

My car got hit also after 2 weeks of buying it brand new from the dealer. The guy backed up into my car without looking... I had to replace my door. So I guess you beat my record...
