Got a new set of wheels from a JDM importer. They threw in the snow tires at a bonus for a headache with the OZ wheels I grabbed earlier.

I'll just go and check my oil right now. I had stopped doing that after seeing no oil loss several times in the past. But I emptied a catch can couple weeks ago. So ....
Edit: Oil level is fine after 4k miles but time to change oil by the end of March anyway.

About a week ago I ordered a D6S Painted Spoiler. I just tracked it, and it's at my house. I will be installing it this evening. Pics later today...










EDIT: Unboxed the painted spoiler. It far exceeds my expectations. I purchased a TRD Style pre-painted spoiler on ebay. (Yes, the cheap one) The paint is good, the clear is nice, and the actual spoiler's surface is smooth. (unlike a few pics I have seen online where the surface is pretty wavy looking from the side)


It didn't come with double stick tape. It came with some sort of "permanent cement glue and a small squeegee" and instructions. I decided against using the glue. I rolled out a whole roll of 3m tape onto the spoiler. ($9.99 for the roll) Then went to test fit on my car. The fit is perfect and the color looked great too in the last bit of sunlight. The light was fading and the temp was dropping fast. It was 28 degrees out already! Gotta have the double stick tape a bit warmer for it to perfectly seal. Hopefully later...


Oh yeah, the wing weighs 2.6lbs or 1181 grams. It feels light weight for its size. I have two carbon wings that are heavier. LOL




Real pics when installed... Patience Leo.. Patience
