Wheels look good

Thanks. I was pretty impressed with myself. I've painted lots of things, never flat black though - OverZealous1 did all the painting for the headlights.

Thanks. The dealership I bought the car from punched a hole in the front bumper accidentally. They knocked a few hundred dollars off the price of the car because of it - I'm thinking of getting the Nismo V2 front. I'm not too big on body kits and will probably leave the sides and rear stock.

Tell me about it; it drives kinda funny too. Popular opinion is to wait at least a week for the springs to settle before getting an alignment done. I've got an appointment on Friday so that's... 5 days lol.

I'm trying to granny shift around town in hopes of not wearing my tires down prematurely.

Why do you hate your wheels? I think it looks pretty good.

That's not a bad deal at all.

I'm sure I'll have rock chips to look forward to in the future but they should be easy to fix. I laid down 8 coats of paint so hopefully any rocks that hit just bounce right off.
