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.

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.

:ugh2:

am i being to anal about valve stems?

Probably. The local tire shop says the metal air valves can corrode and cause air leaks... Your car doesn't see bad weather enough to worry though. Flip a coin, heads = metal, tails = rubber.

However, when she is done with her potions, elixirs and voodoo application every morning, she pretty much looks like she did before she started. I commented on this phenomenon and she replied "That's the point".

:icon18: And you lived to tell us this story?! :gtfo2:
