Well ive had the car for 3 yrs, its been paid off since day 1 and i think im ready for an upgrade, but my head is constantly pushin me in different directions. I might end up keepin the tc as a DD since i doubt ill get more than 3k for it being that its a rebuilt title, but who knows, im estimating by next summer to get a new ride

lmao now that I think about it, my car has bit me in the **** quite a bit:
List of FAIL:
-2 Blown Superchargers
-My F&F V2 Coils weren't made properly so Pete had to notch the front 2 to fit
-Wilwood sent the wrong brake pads for my kit so I had to re-order them
-My car had a bunch of shattered glass when i took out my back row.
-Turns out my car's door was blue (found out when I switched out my door panels)
-Got a hit and run at work *the douche didn't even leave any contact info
-Had a flat that fcked up my time attack stripe on my Raderwerks.
-My brackets for my Recaro's came bent, so they had to be hammered into a position where they would fit with stock placement.
-When I got my gauges and HVAC done, the kid that helped me blew up my LCD screen, which I still haven't replaced.
-I've had the Gauge Pillar warp 3 times *before buying the Autometer one which has held up
-Had 2 loose control arms in the past year
Wow reading that just made me so depressed

Lol IIRC the only thing that didn't put up a fight was the install of the Lip kit. Everything else has been a royal PITA

damn, they should look nice on your car.
I've been contemplating pulling the trigger on them for a WHILE now..but I really want to go back to 18's which is what has stopped me i guess

why'd that stop you? yeah i've been on the same boat with thinking about them. i would have went through with it if i didn't already have a good, somewhat pricey set. but i'm probably going to just b/c i want them. idc if a few others have them, i want them on MY car, lol. besides my ride is going to be totally different looking that theirs i'm sure--color, kit and a few accessories.
