I just realized that my assumptions about something being wrong with my driver's seat were correct, the left thigh bolster is deformed and soft in that spot shown in picture instead or being like a sponge and bounce back up like the other side or even passenger's seat
Hopefully a visit to the dealer will solve my concern

I have had a lot of experience with body shops and I believe if you are willing to remove the grill yourself and mask it ahead before you go ask they will likely offer your a much lower price. If your comfortable enough to sand the part down too. (If you have no experience sanding down the plastic parts it's better to use scotch pads, it takes longer but you're less likely to make mistakes.) Also, they think of it as time and room. Not paint or labor at most good shops. The larger ones with more employees are likely to give you the best deal. Just make sure you tell them you want it coated just like the rest of the body. Reemoving the grills isn't very challenging and it's the easiest way to get the best price. It also gives them less to think about so they usually do a better job.

You are correct sir, if you live close enough to your dealership I think the battery is like $7-8 and should take you no longer than a min to change out. Mine has been low on the panel as well and its been about 5 months now so you have some time. I've just been lazy apparently

Just like two months ago, my driver's front "shorty" valve stem failed again. Only this time the shop was unable to simply replace the check-valve, and need to replace the entire valve stem. However, they don't have those particular stems available, so I had to reach out to Diego@Vossen, who is promptly sending me a replacement. (Good guy!)
There's a washer missing from the VS the shop removed. I'm thinking this is the crux of the problem, and NeedForSpeed incorrectly installed that one stem. But really, I have no way of knowing. It's just a guess.
Anyway... for the next few days I'm riding around on 19x10" Vossens in the rear wearing PSS, but 18x7.5" duckfeet in the front wearing snow tires.
Yeehah!

It actually seems to drive OK, although I've no intention of bringing it up to highway speeds like this. Just round town, slow-speed turns and what-not until I get the replacement valve stem from VOSSEN.

I offered to paypal next-day shipping costs, but he said not to bother. So it gets fixed whenever it gets here. I'm going to be on full snows in about 5 or 6 weeks anyway. And it's not like I have to be anywhere... just picking up my kid from sports and stuff like that. (Work@home)
Looking at the duckfeet in the front, lowered on Swifts, I'm 100% going to be buying some wheel spacers for winter, because this just looks silly to me.

What needs to be done to swap TPMS from one set of wheels to another & have them function properly?
Assume tires on both sets of wheels have already been removed.
Thanks!
