I probably won't make it. My tires haven't come in yet and I doubt they will come in on a Saturday.

Anyone interested in two stock front sport tires? I think they are 245/35/19 with 60-75% tread left. I'll sell for $100.

I'm trying to clean out the garage before I move in a few months.

Did you get a new full set of re-11s?

Awesome car ! I have a black 13 nismo too! I really like the idea of painting handles but am worrying about the fading/durability of it. How do you like them?

Call up John Harris auto body, if you need help uninstalling them and re-installing I'm more then happy to lend a hand.

As for the fading durability. They use the best paint out there (spies hecker, a german paint) and I had my 350z door handles painted for 7 years and no fading, scratches, chipping etc....

Trust me its worth it! I personally think it made the car look 100 times better... They charged me 100 bucks to do both... Its a steal to me

Yeah, that's a great price.

Just the front tires needed replacing. The rears are fine. I forgot how much of a PITA it is to find someone who is capable of installing 275/30/19. The low profile combined with the stiff sidewall requires both skill and equipment.

COSTCO is my first choice but I didn't want to renew my membership.
Walmart & Geralds = No
Showzone was too far out the way so I went with a local rim shop (PM Tires). They specialize in 22's and higher so I figured ehh I'll give them a try. 30 minutes later he finally got the tire seated.

Lol.... My buddy used to be the tire shop manager at Cosco. After mounting my TEs he told me, "Don't think about bringing those back to be unmounted! The were a b*tch." lol

Anyone want a brand new set of EVO-r carbon B pillars brand new for 40 bucks?
Reason I will sell for cheap is the gel coat on one has a slight wave when you look at the reflection at an angle.... They cost 150ish new,

I wanted to offer to SC guys first

Here are pics

ClemsonWill · 02-07-2013, 06:35 PM

Those new burning red TEs are sick. Wish they came in 19s.

I agree... I have no clue why Volk does that! They have the hyper blue 18s in stock everywhere... Having an Evo, STI, BRZ etc has got to be the life with choosing wheels!

Personally the Z with 18s for looks wise is not ideal since the wheel wells are huge... Also we need crazy wide crazy low offsets... Ugh this sucks

I really want to do 19x9.5+12 and 19x11+5 but no monoblock wheels come in that low of an offset in the rear....

ClemsonWill · 02-08-2013, 01:06 PM

Yeah, that's pretty aggresive for the rear.
