Oh sorry forgot to mention im getting 18inch. Yea i think the speedometer would be off but I assume it wont be that off. I would drop my car for 1 inch to close the gap but I dont want to mess with camber and coilover since I want to retain the balance of this car. I know thats kind of retarded since I am going 255/35 rear. and I didnt wanna do a stagger but apparently 9.5 would not fit front without camber.

Sucks about the front corner, but what dash cam is that? I've been considering getting one and that one looks nice from your pictures.

I would have called the local DPW and report flying debris damaged your car, they usually will either apologize or offer compensation...not the whole thing but something.

That appears to be the Samoon 3H2F if I am not mistaken. I am saving for the DR550GW from blackvue if only they can get the video quality up on the 2 channel one.

It's this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/Full-HD-1080...E:L:OC:US:3160 Seems to be pretty good so far, I guess time will tell. For $52.00, I'm not expecting too much.

Does it hide behind the rear view mirror well? I want one but would like it to stay hidden. Where did you run the USB cord to?

There was a County Sheriff right behind me who saw the whole thing. He gave me a report # so I called my insurance and they are covering it under comprehensive (which I have $0 deductible) since it was a moving object. I guess if it was sitting still and I hit it, that would have been collision and I would have had to pay $500 deductible. Just sucks it happened.
