    You and me both. It's amazing how little motivation I have for the car without them on. I haven't even washed it in weeks...

    Car looks good! Very clean
    Do it right or do it twice.

    Bags and wheels don't make show cars. Ingenuity and originality are lacking in the scene.

    Thanks guys.

    So new tires are mounted now. 235/35/18 on the 9.5's. They look great (off the car anyways).

    Dropped the car to the body shop to get some things cleaned up. It should be all back together with wheels on by next weekend. I can't friggin wait.

    Hopefully that stops messing with the haldex. Do you still have issues with it?

    As soon as I switched back to the stockies there was no issue. So we'll see what happens with the new tires.

    Well when I put the summers back on the overall diametre difference between the front and rear was 2.6% (running a staggard setup). It would randomly start shuttering and almost felt like I had a flat tire, especially when I would give it gas. It was really, really noticeable. To the point where I had to pull over and restart the car (basically to 'reset' it). It happened 2 - 3 times once I put the wheels on. Swapped my winters back and no problems since.

    I'm hoping with the new tires it gets rid of the problem. I'm only at 0.1% OD difference now. If it still gives me problems then I'll have to sell the wheel setup

    Car's back from the body shop. I friggin love this guy. His work is top notch. His colour match is awesome too. The only issue I have is a bit of overspray but that' minor all things considered.

    Repainted the fender and resprayed the rear bumper (someone hit it last year after it got shaved) and cleaned up the passenger door jam (had paint issues when I removed the stickers).

    Mounting the wheels tonight. Will take photos for sures.

    Very nice, I your car. IMO, I kinda miss the RAYS for one reason.. black centers. But these porsche ones are definitely my favorite wheels! Maybe better with black or like mirror black centers IMO. I wish someone would hit my front bumper so that I could get a 3.2 through insurance
