No extra bolts or arms, just the swifts and an alignment.

I think black wheels are getting somewhat played out TBH. I'd go with something else. But hey, that's JMOFWIW! :)

Duh. That goes without saying. I just assumed everyone knew that, so I left it out of my posts.

After a week of driving and about 300 miles, she is still shiny. I love that Meguiar's stuff.

Oh I was definitely planning on it. :excited: My co-worker even offered to bring them home since he lives pretty close to me. However, I have to go by the office to pick up one of our workstations that's been acting up so I can reformat some time this weekend when I don't have time :ugh2: btw... my co-worker is a big car guy, completely trustworthy when it comes to car parts, and is always willing to help with time, experience, and tools :tup:

First performance mod and first time to get intimate with her under the hood :excited::excited: I've taken the bumper off twice just cause I could, and I've had the entire dash apart to explore installation options for an AVIC HU and installed a garage door opener button by the cup holder. :tup:

I'm going to damn well try. I'm hoping Sunday I can squeeze about 2.5 hours out of the day to do the install and wash and another layer of wax, which she needs especially on the rear :yum:

Thoughts on wheels for Gunmetal? I'm not sure I would really like black, especially since I don't think I'll ever black out fangs and/or rear valance. I've considered smoked head/tail lights but the wife is putting up resistance, and I'm not yet convinced enough that I like them to waste the energy convincing her. I like stock, and there's nothing I've seen that would convince me to spend the $$$.


Literally, in the middle of typing this post, a package arrived at the house. My Diablo III Collector's Edition! :excited: It is seriously ridiculous how much crap it came with, but I'm a total nerd like that :tup:

Did I mention I'm :excited::excited::excited::excited:?

What/Who the hell did you piss off over there? Glad to hear you got out of it!

kenchan 05-18-2012 04:46 PM

so ive been searching online if there were any bad for that pioneer BT module add-on thingie for my pioneer HU.. and im reading issues auto syncing after android phones are paired. :ugh2: damn, wth is going on here with my BT related projects. :eekdance:

so after looking around for other quick fix, i might get the moto roadster2 and just forget about it all. it has auto on/off getting in/out of the car so it saves battery life. typically 3wks standby which will mean about 1.5months for me since i dont drive the G much anyway... like 500miles a month? and it apparently speaks up when it's hungry. that's good. i like things that speak up when they have an issue. i hate whiners that talk behind my back. speak the problem to me. :tup:

droid4's mic in speaker-phone mode has a problem on the receiving end. they can't hear me very well. hummmm....

kenchan 05-18-2012 04:53 PM

i just realized i have over 16.6K of worthless posts.... :facepalm:

Ok, once more I have escaped from the vicious clutches of ice-based damage! :eek:

I can't believe it. I've been driving for some 25 years and have NEVER gotten caught in hail.....and then it happens to me TWO DAYS IN A ROW??! FML! :mad::shakes head:

Oh my! One has to wonder exactly how I should go about performing this sacrifice? Perhaps play Barry Manilow on a huge stereo system at excessive volume 'til his/her ears bleed?
