Called Motorsport-tech about my spacers. They shipped 12/2, scheduled delivery tomorrow. So UPS is going to need 7 business days to go from Nevada to Charlotte
Second time calling motorsport-tech and they've been great to deal with. They told me to call tomorrow if the don't deliver.
The good news in all this, is that Friday is my departments holiday lunch and we were told we can leave when its over at 2:00. Assuming ups delivers them tomorrow, I should be able to install them Friday afternoon.

Big setback on my future modding plans. If I want a chance to get my RHFC fixed, I would have to remove them and send them over to see if they can be further fixed. The muffler's shop attempt to fix it "voided the weld warranty". So removal cost + shipping + reinstallation costs and of course the wait time. Of course, this will only work if they could be fixed. If not, waste of about $200.
No idea what to do. Very dissapointed. Might as well buy some used art pipes.

...or get some ARK cats, although you'll have to wait for the shipment. Say, hasn't it been like two weeks since you've done something to your car? You must be going through withdrawals.

UPS must be taking a hit because of Xmas. Although I did get my roof wing from Taiwan in only 3 business days, and that was UPS.
Which reminds me... roof wing pics, because Ricer.

That sucks, man. Seems to me that shipping them back to FI is a non-starter. Just have the shop fix it, and suck it up... ...or get some ARK cats, although you'll have to wait for the shipment.

15mm keeps the tires tucked just enough to look normal. However, you'll see once they're on the car that you could probably fine-tune the spacing even more, if you're so inclined. Maybe next year, if you keep the duckfeet, you can dial in customized spacers to the exact millimeter front & back, with extended studs instead of adapters.
Want some advice? I don't think you have to use the shorty lug nuts that comes with the adapters. I haven't test-fit the idea, but I believe there's enough room to use standard acorn-design lugnuts, the kind that are like $25/set on Amazon. Check it out, and you'll see what I'm getting at. I didn't do it with mine, because I didn't think of it until later, and now it's winter. Seriously, we've had 6" of snow in the last 12 hours.
Also, when mounting the spacers, use some anti-seize in-between the hub and the spacers; (not on the lugs!). For that matter, anti-seize between the spacer and the rim isn't a bad idea, too. I've been doing that for years, and it makes a huge difference before/after Winter.

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

They didn't fix the issue as according to a tech it's a normal wear on the car, and it was just hectic and my service advisor wasn't out because of personal issues day before and the day I was picking up the car...
I got an email from Infiniti and made sure I mentioned my concern about this and that I'd like it to be taken care of by the given dealership as that is not an issue I should be having on a car with 30k miles, and ..especially since I avoid sitting right on that bolster for that exact reason so it wouldn't get all deformed like in the picture... I bet Gs with far more miles than mine don't have that problem and I do at 30k.
So sooner or later I should be probably getting a call about this. Must've been a lazy tech who rather said it's normal wear than actually admit it and do the job. F#$% man ..

What about some locktite? Is blue loctite overkill?
Speaking of winter, my car said it was 36* when I left for work yesterday morning. PSS gripped fine, although I didn't push it in turns. No wheel spin with heavy throttle in 2nd

I got the car back from the dealer on Thursday, drove a Q50 with 1,500 miles on it for 4 days, Meh , it's a love/hate thing about the Q50.
