putting this back up again. anybody got extra 245/45/18's laying around? the rears on the Z are probably about to explode and since the lady drives the car, i'd hate for something bad to happen. PM me if so.

[QUOTE=bluz370;8089702]JLS2GOZ- i might know someone who can get you into a set of used like 80% tread left for about 85 a tire.. let me know if you would be interested. they usually take brand requests.


Hey, thanks for the shout, but I already got them ordered, and car is at dealer for mount tomorrow, but I will be sure to post next time before I look elsewhere.

Your girl does not mind because free DOS = :thumbsup: for her as well! You guys are the DOS Couple. Tell jen I said hi. And she still owes me for the cigarette from last time , she'll know what i mean.

Thanks man, yeah I wish I could of afford a 55-60" up there. But the 46" will do.

Since I already have it uploaded, thought I'd show you guys a little bit of the house since I <3 ya so much.

When TV wasn't up yet..



With TV up.



View from the Kitchen.

Q,

Let me know how you like the TV up so high....my friend mounted his up above the fireplace like you and says his head is always straining to look up....instead of straight across.

I want to see if you think the same...because I was thinking of doing the same with a TV in another room of the house.

Look nice tho.

Hahahah not a slow morning for me... i got slammed with 250 new hires for next week lol And if you are just trying to change the stance up a bit.. this is the perfect mod. Mine has settled and it looks GREAT. my fender is maybe a half a index finger above my tire.
