I know what you mean. Work was slow last night, so I grabbed the Goo-Gone and a towel and went out to pull my stickers off, but I ended up just changing the pointless "Touge Factory" sticker so that it reads "g act". But I just ordered a few more stickers so I'll replace them soon enough. I really am bored with the "Illest" sticker and the "Scrape" sticker. I really shouldn't be rocking them anyway, but WTH. It's been fun. I want to sticker bomb my side mirrors or something. Bwahaha!

Why my S-Techs look so much higher? I DONT KNOW! It's driving me mad! I honestly think it looked lower before the RPF1's went on. Is there something I could have done to jack the suspension up? Could it be the Tokico shocks??

No I haven't figured it out. It's not a severe wobble, and still doesn't occur everytime I accelerate, so I'm kind of just waiting for it to progress so that I can determine what it is. But it's most likely the same issue that you have. How severe is your wobble issue?

Make sure you are using hub centric rings on the wheels if the wheels are not the correct TC hub bore and also using the correct acorn style lug nuts. The OEM wheels are both hub and lug centric so try and keep it that way if possible.

well I wouldn't say its really severe...but it is every time I accelerate and definitely enough to feel it. I wonder wtf kind of test drive this guy did if he really didn't notice that at 20mph...guess he went for a stroll through a school zone.

Did you need hub centric rings for your RPF1s? I thought the RPF1's would fit perfectly fine only needing acorn style lugs.

I never rode with them without the hub centric rings. I'm sure you don't NEED them for daily driving but since the oem wheels were designed to be hub centric I just wanted to keep it that way. I did read an article once were (i think it was sport compact car) raced a scion tc on a 12 hour endurance race and after the first hour or so the wheels ripped off the lug nuts because they were not hub centric. But they were also running slicks all around so....

Anyways, these are the ones I used;

^ Thanks for the heads up! I'm gonna pick those up pronto. Better safe than sorry. I'd like to keep my rice-bucket as rattle-box free as possible.

I had myself a little photo shoot last night. Nothing new other than some stickers and I removed the eyebrow overlays and cleaned up the headlights.
