    This holidays I have done the following:
    Changed the transmission fluid
    Changed the inverter coolant
    Changed the engine coolant
    150,000 miles service.
    Front and rear pads
    Rear caliper slider (one was sticking)

    Still a bit worried about the oil leak from the timing chain cover, that may have to be looked at soon

    I took the left front tire and wheel to the shop and had a new tire mounted. Went to the ATM after dark Wed night and hit a curb turning into the drive, instant flat. I put the temp spare on and the TPM light and check engine light was on, made it home. I put the new tire on and drove it to the mailbox, TPM light off, CEL still on. When it warms up today, I'll check the code and see what's going on. The thing I hate the worse is, I scratched the bottom corner of the new bumper cover.:(

    Sorry to hear that:(.

    But it was going to get a mark at some point, so at least now it’s out of the way(y).

    That’s what was in the carpet cleaner at the end of it

    The finished article, a lot cleaner and smells a lot better

    Installed camber shims from realcamber.com. Saw another member here (Jisnis) install them a few months ago. So far so good. Getting ready to bag it next year.

    I assume you have more aggressive set of wheels coming up since you don't need those shims with ur current wheels

    Yup. Going with something with a lip. Ive also tossed around the idea of cutting my fenders and going a little wider with the stance.

    Not my car but the route I’m going for.

    So on this particular car, the fenders were trimmed a little higher to fit a wider wheel and still be able keep the car low. Those flares will hide the cut.

    Pic of the flares don't look bad up close. Would be cool too see how it looks overall on the car. That kind of wide fender looks like shit on most cars too me.

    To each there own. Here’s what it looks like all together. I usually can never make up my mind on what I want to do. The other hard part is whether I want to buy mods on my truck or keep setting money aside on an airplane.

    I didn’t. And for some reason I thought these wouldn’t be able to take apart to repack. I’ll be doing brakes soon. These are over 4 years old and the original. I may just get new hubs if they are reasonably priced. But right now I’ve been busy house hunting in Palmdale since I’m being relocated from the beach for work.
