Maybe this one would be okay to steal since we are tight on money? eh? [&o]

I do agree with you about the price, but the cleaning isn't so bad because it hides a good bit of brake dust compared to my wheels.


Here's a picture of the wheels that I would really like to get... 5zigens! Just like the BBS basically! This guy is from Florida and he helps me out with my car if I have a question or vice versa since we seem to be doing the same modifications to our vehicles over time.

yeah 5Zigens always has the best of any type of 5-spoke. BBS is the wire wheels of the 90s and up. Weather or not they hide much dust, cleaning them is still a hassle.
Good luck on getting what you want I'd love to ysee what you car will look like in a year, then 2 years, then three etc. You seem to love it and that is the kind of spirit that brings up car freaks together.

Alright, as of this morning I have entirely removed the stock exhaust and stock exhaust hangers. I then proceeded to move onto putting the Injen SES Exhaust with the Kartboy hangers and wow, sounds deep and throaty! Also, the shift lag is virtually gone now that the exhaust is there to help out! Now I'm a master when it comes to getting things done quickly, but effectively as well as proficiently... so I used a can of wd-40 on the hangers to slip off the old exhaust as well as the hangers themselves once the exhaust was dropped. When I went to put on the Kartboy hangers, i just sprayed a little more wd-40 on the new ones and they slipped right on! I played around with the positioning a good bit (10 minutes) until I deemed it was perfect. My advice is to start the install from the mufflers because if you don't, good luck trying to get the rest of the exhaust on... it's very firm! Those exhaust hangers were amazing... very stirdy, show no give (up or down). I would highly recommend this setup. A picture will follow when I get a little time this week... wish I could get an exhaust video clip but I have no device that can do that! [:@] Also, just to add... when I was taking off the stock exhaust hangers, I used a rubber mallet to bat the damn things off... one hit and it was off with that wd-40 on them!
