    Yes, I have an iPod Touch… I got a new one so I gave the other half the old one and decided to re route all the wires I couldn't stand looking at that white cable…

    New wheels (again), these are forged 17" 4x100 +52mm offset and only 15 pounds per corner!

    Why such horrible offset?

    Does this eliminate any of the freeway swerve? How much?

    It's not horrible at all on a 17x7 wheel. A 10mm spacer will take care of it nicely, with 195/45/17 Yokohama S Drive.

    Why not wait for pictures before judging? :cautious:

    Oh I'm waiting but still going to be tame. I'm certain it will still look good though.

    I'm looking at 16x8 et38 right now. I wish there was more room under these babies to fit a nice stretched 17. But alas 195/50 on the 16x8 won't look TOO bad me hopes.

    Keep both hands on the wheel to eliminate freeway swerve. ;)

    Yeah... ha ha. But I'm sure we're all aware of the havoc the wind plays on this lightweight aerodynamic car.

    ^ The Whiteline sway bar virtually eliminates buffeting, darting and general squirrelly-ness at higher speeds.

    Not my style but looks good. I wish I liked cf wrap it's way easy to apply compared to regular vinyl

    I have trd rear sway, center brace, front subframe brace, rear chassis brace, front strut bar. The rear sway helped a small amount. I highly doubt the whiteline would do much if any more than trd let alone vs all the other mods. I've never much liked the whiteline as its basically using those rubber bushings before fully utilizing the bars rigidity. But yeah super squirrelly little car. Hoping better/wider tires help.

    I got bored and decided to work out my fore arms...wanted the aggressive huge lexus grill look

    looks nice from a far, but needs some work. I guess a learning experience in plasti dipping

    didn't like the first dip job (was fuzzy and too matte), so I redid i and included the area below fog lights b/c it seems most rock chips happen around that area

    . I think you did a really good job. I'm going to carbon fiber wrap that part of my car since mine is already a black car

    First major mod. Installed little blind spot/parking mirrors. They were $5.80 after tax. I like them so far, installation only took 4 hours with the help of my friend.
