The car equivalent to gobs of make up is a civic with an obnoxious body kit, stock wheels, an enormus wing and every paste on mesh vent available.

Yup, my wife "just stocked up on my supplies" and it was $270!

And you lived to tell us this story?!

My wife's chunk of change mainly goes towards moisturizers.

Installed SPL rear camber and toe arms today after I took my front fascia to the body shop. Also assembled my power steering cooler kit and my AP Racing BBK came in today. Ready to get my car back. This is killing me.

am i being to anal about valve stems?

Mr.kenchan, you are not being anal, I would love to have metal valve stems too.

Regarding Mr.GaleForce's info about the stems become rusty, depends how long after and what kind of metal does the stems made of...

ahh, perhaps that's why, thanks for the info. the tire shop was like especially if my car's a hobby car i would absolutely not have issues with either one, but rubber is recommended by most oem's so that's why they use it. they also claim they use the exact same valve stems that the dealers use.

hi mr.alcheng- major LOL

@ civic. hahahaha!!

yah, as for the valve stems the tire shop said they replace each time new tires are mounted so for me that would be about once every 8-10k miles in dry weather only. and my car is garaged most of the time so UV/cracking is not an issue. i suppose it's more cosmetics thing now... i guess i can get some black rays caps and feel better. lol
