Definately gentle. I'll give her until 2500 kms before she gets unleashed. I can't wait for my shift to end in 12 days so I can drive her around and buy her some new springs

Yeah dood, I'll be back in town on Sept 6. Calling companies at work instead of working to see if anyone will give me tint. Also, heading to the dealer Saturday to order my springs, then to tuner works Monday to order wheels. Gonna be a busy week for my wallet.

If you need a name or two for tint let me know......I've tried a few

Also, if you already deal with someone at Tunerworks then all good, but if not, try to deal with Mark Lacey, he sits farthest from the front door. Tell him I (Mark Robinson) advised you to talk to him and he should get you taken care of

Congrats Twix !

If you need 3M, I know few good guys, let me know.
I also deal with Mark at Tunerworks so you are in good hands.
What wheels you have on the car and what are you ordering?
Winter wheels?
I have the OEM sitting in my garage, I don't know if I will put them back.

I have the wheels that come with the sportline which I`m going to keep as winters. I plan on ordering HRE C-100 for the summer months.

When I go to Tunerworks, I`ll make sure to ask for Mark by name. As for tint, I don`t know who`s going to do mine yet.

Winter tires is a must. Even down here in New England.
Personally, I went with 17" for the winter tires, to get some extra sidewall.

Shadow Tint does a good job.

That's who the dealer recommended. As for winters, I'd have gone for 17's except that I want different summers and I don't feel like buying 2 sets of wheels and tire this year. Plus, what would I do with the stockers?

So, my plan is to get the HREs in the stock size so I can use the stock A/S tires til they die, and use the stock wheels with winter rubber. That way I'm really only buy 1 set of wheels & tires. Much easier on my bank account.

So, you will use staggered for winter?

I think it will be wise to install mudflaps (if you like them). I also installed 3M on full hood, full bumper, full front fenders, A pillars, mirrors, fog lamps, etc. In this area where they throw so much gravel it makes a difference.
