anyone know the owner of a yellow supra with 18" mercury silver rims, not sure which brand? Poor car rear ended a flat bed truck on 436 and howell branch this morning going into the publix shopping center. The front end looked pretty tore up...didnt have a chance to take a pic though.

On a side note, do any of yall know if Carlitos uses a laser alignment or if they do it by hand? I got my new tires and alignment done by them in Feb and my toe is jacked to sh*t. I got the camber arms and toe bolts installed by them as well. Only been a little over 7k miles and Im down to essentiall 0% or 1/32 or 2/32 tire tread in the rear. Im not trying to talk sh*t here I just figure it might give me some insight on why my tires are going they way they are.

I think I may have seen that car once myself too. Lots of yellers around town.

Not sure why you're going through tires like that if you have the camber fix???

Thanks for all the suggestions guys! I think we're just going to go ahead and replace the two rear tires, then take the tire somewhere to get it fixed once it's off the wheel. That way we'll have two spares laying around for next time.

I don't want to, but so far that's all I've found to replace them with.

Ill stand by the shop I goto, rIght across from the Sanford Town Center; Very few people can do TRUE candy paint jobs the right way and let me tell you, people have came in from other states to just have this guy paint their cars(nba/football/all kinds of stars), they do an awesome job!! Not just with paint either, walk into this shop and you will be blown away at the quality of work they do.

I know this is going to sound crazy to some of you, but I am seriously thinking of selling my bodykit before I leave.

I know that I want the WALD kit and i am sure its going to be real hard to sell the kit in hawaii with shipping. I am planning on having the car put in the shop right before I leave, so why not go ahead and get the new kit now instead of touching up the one I have on.

I guess it will just depend on the interest.
I am looking to get $1500 for the whole thing. It is 1 of 5 in the US. So its original.

If anyone is interested let me know.
