Awd and wheels just means more attention to tire sizes and rolling diameter. Do a lot of reading and ask some questions on here, these guys are really helpful. I personally went square just for ease of tire rotations.
Rochester curious to hear how you feel about the work, vossen collab?
News to me. Since I bought my wheels almost two years ago now, I haven't really been keeping up on the market. And truth is, I never really dove too deep in the first place. I couldn't rationalize the cost of forged rims.
At least, not now and not for this car. Maybe next car.
I just put on the bracket that holds the license plate lights without removing the rear bumper like I had previously been told. It honestly didnt take that long.

I did it last weekend. Probably took 15 minutes because I placed it in backwards the first time. I had to reuse the clips for the screw off of the old bracket. Did yours come with new clips?

It did not because I planned on reusing the old ones. They were fairly hard to get out and when I got one of the clips out it had a rusted piece of the bracket attached to it. Really happy I did not have to take the bumper off because I removed one of the clips for it on the underside and it took me maybe 20 minutes to get it back through the hole in the bumper and the other holes on the car.
Finally got my FI CBE yesterday. I would have installed it last night but it's been raining like crazy. Probably won't get to it till tomorrow, hopefully....

I'd imagine w/ what you've been through rain makes you a little jumpy
G/L w/ the install, should be a huge upgrade

Now I feel like a total loser!!!
Many people are doing their own install. I feel like I lamed-out by having a shop do it...
Though in my defense the cats were a TOTAL mind-f*uck...
Agree with Rochester Vivid. Your G looks great. Your a lot further along than I am and your mods have been tastefully done. I didn't do my HFCs. To much of a PITA for me for me to handle....

Did you two get to the point where you had to replace the bracket? Mine is getting pretty rusted/beat. Last I checked it was about 4 weeks ago when I put LEDs in my license plate lights.
Should I just replace it come spring after I get one more season of use of it?
Got my CBE on. Me and my buddy started at 8am and finished at 9:45. Great deep tone and no rasp. It sounds fantastic. Didn't put the vinyl on yet. I'll get to that when it warms up and I've got a little more time to do it properly....
