Honestly, havent had time to get the redouts on....I am curently working out of town. The one nice day that there was, was when I spent all my daylight at the rim/tire place to get my Genesis wheels put on

I am off tomorrow, so I'll be doing that tomorrow. I also get to go to find out what code is being thrown after I took my car in to the shop, and took off the back wheel my vsc, check engine, and tcs lights are on

Do you have a 250 or 350?

I have a 250. I had a problem like that in the past when my car battery died on me. I took it to the dealer and they wanted to charge me 100 just to diagnose the check engine light. i said no thanks il take it to autozone and get the codes and as soon as i got back in the car to go home the lights went off lol.

Where did you or are you planning to get your hubcentric rings and lug nuts?

I got them from b2designs for the spacers....he sent me to Ebay for the adapter rings, and lugnuts, I went to amazon

It was real crappy out, however I decided to get over it and get my painted engine covers installed (thanks again to brocious)

well...I'll be gone for a few days. When I get back, I'll still be facing the uphill battle of getting my genesis wheels to cooperate.

I also just got my codes scanned, so I will be working on fixing the codes first. Dont wanna be working on the back and get slapped with a massive engine bill, however I think it's just a bad sensor

tomorrow I will be putting on the redouts if it's not crazy rainy here. Outside that, the only thing I can think of would be getting a wald and having that bad boy molded....but for now she's pretty enough for me

Car looks great so far. Red outs do make a huge difference. Can't wait for updated pics.

Well, got up early this morning and got the redouts on....easy as pie. If you dont have these, I highly recommend them. They enhance the look so much!

I REALLY can't wait to get the wheels on lol
