It's just personal taste, some like it, others will not. But by far my brother and I are not spoiled. I started working at 14, bought my own business when I was 18, and I'm still working trying to my a living. Everyone can have their own opinion of spoiled, but by far I'm not spoiled in my opinion. I still work hard everyday at my business but I guess people have different living standards, I just work hard getting there and is lucky that I'm doing "ok" so far.


FYI, my brother is already retired, he retired when he was 30 years old a few years ago and he only do small investments now. I think he's the one with a "good" life.

Retired at 30, wow! What's he doing with his time now!?!?

About the brakes - do you think they will look too small behind 22's?

Well, my brother is currently decorating his dream home with his time. He is also traveling whenever possible since he married a busy celebrity.

About the brakes, I currently have the 13.1 stock brake rotors. Only mod I did so far is painting the stock calipers with s.s. brake lines. I'm not sure if they'll look ok with 22", but if they look too small, I might just have to slap on some 380mm rotors in the future.

Aside from the calipers, I LOVE it. Very nice. Did you paint over the chrome or strip it down?

The mechanic stripped it down, sandblasted the chrome, and repainted it.
