I did a pits stop in Ottawa and got me some winter tires at SLICK. Excellent service as usual. I am thrilled to have these guys work on my car.

Nokian Hakapaliitta R2. So far I am quite impressed. The car definitely has a different feel to it and they are not too loud. I'm ready for winter and I can't wait to try them out in snowy conditions.

I got mine on last week. Very nervous about driving in snow after all I've heard. I will use my wife's car when it's really bad but hope to drive my brz the rest of the time.

The twins aren't bad at all with snow tires. We had a decent amount of snow last year in the north east and I had no issues with my blizzak Lm32s. The only issue is being low to the ground and plowing snow.

I installed my winter tire that are mounted on the stock wheel, wanted to wait another week or 2 since the weather should not drop too low but the potenza that came with my volk racing were lacking in tread depth. Specially the rear two. Don't know how that might have happen...

Installed my Perrin CBE. It's actually quieter than the stock CBE with catless titanium frontpipe. Also plate bracket and shift bushings came in.

Then after I finished, I came up with a unique way to get down from rhino ramps. If you have your front wheels chocked for extra safety, just leave them chocked and give the gas a good push. Fastest you'll ever be off ramps. Guaranteed.

Here's another photo with the car done; has a nice aggressive look now. Cheers.

That off center license plate looks hideous.

You did one too? jesus it looks awful especially in that second pic with it just hanging off to the side. You people spend 10s of thousands of dollars on a nice car then make it look ugly with something just hanging off? I don't get it.

Because they don't want to drill holes in the bumper or they like the way it looks.
It's really not that hard to understand.

Yeah it IS hard to understand. You'd rather make a car look ugly than drill holes in the bumper? Because it's not like there are thousands of other holes drilled in your car somewhere. What, are people going to say "oh my god there is a license plate on the front of his car! He should have had it hanging off somehow"

Why are you people of all people making a big deal out of a front license plate?

It's already been explained to you why. Stop trolling and post something useful. You've been asking stupid questions and crapping on people for weeks between here and reddit. Grow up.
