If your car has been driven for a while and ever washed incorrectly it will need a paint correction done first.

Paint correction and opti-coat will usually cost $600 to $1000 depending on how much paint correction is needed and who you go to

Yeah, don't swerve through traffic fast. Swerve through traffic smooth, like using your blinker with ample heads up and space between vehicles. And some things just don't need to be bragged about, honestly.

Today I'm putting free 2011 WRX stock tires (235/45R17) on my new (to me) 05-07 STI BBS 17x8 wheels. The "BBS" logo center caps should be getting swapped with the "STI" logo ones as well. Also having the TPMS removed so I can give those back to my buddy along with the Blizzak tires. Then I'll get some proper used studded snow tires from Craigslist for around $400 and pretty much break even once I sell my 18" STI BBS wheels to another buddy!

it was a joke. my car sat in my driveway all weekend. i agree that driving recklessly on the street is a no no and it should be taken to the track

Carbon fiber rocket bunny got pushed back another week because body shop guy requested I install car parts before rocket bunny and make my car higher so we can drop the car once. Anyways enjoy.

Drop in air filter and a little engine bay clean up
also removed the foam insert in the 'sound generator' to better hear my revs when I'm listening to music.
