yeah except I want TPMS on the 20's but it looks like you have to remove the tires to install them, so altho ill save over $200 to get the wheels/tires off eBay, it'll cost about 150 to get 4 tpms and then another 60 to install them, so that $200 will turn into 140 (the 150 to buy them was already factored in) and the savings will only be $140 + having to take the time to get them mounted. I should just pay tire rack to do everything in one shot for just under 2k

Well okay, I found the TPMS on eBay for $100, so I could prolly get them mounted for $60 and I'd still be saving over 200, but is it worth the hassle?

The car is 99% complete. When they ordered parts, the dealer forgot 2 clips for the door to keep the inner panel connected. They should get those two parts tomorrow and then complete detail and it should be home late tomorrow!

finally huh? Sticking with your car then? I think I missed that bit.

Yeah, I'm not going to upgrade anymore. Their work is great. People always say "It'll never drive the same way again" but I didn't get hit in the front, my car didn't spin, I just locked up the breaks. So I think I'll get those checked out too and get them replaced if needed. At this point an upgrade is not in the cards, so unless I got a 50k settlement, I'll be keeping the V6 and enjoying it again very soon

bad pic, but its home!

Now, I just need to order my wheels, fogs, tint, and stock spoiler. Then I want the touch screen stock head unit, better speakers, and stock sub and it will be all done. Plus I'll start ordering a few engine dress up parts that are color matched just for looks, nothing stupid though

glad you finally got her back. looks just like new.
when are those wheels going on?

Scott · « **Reply #35 on:** April 15, 2011, 08:38:31 PM »

Those 20's will be put on very soon based on 1 of two things, 1 when I sell the Galant, or two, when I decide to just use my credit card anyway to purchase them haha, I just need to free up some "space" on my credit card first

infliction · « **Reply #36 on:** April 15, 2011, 08:43:15 PM »

not the way to do things, thats what bank accounts are for.
if i were you i'd wait for the galant to sell. i feel like an ass for saying this. but im just looking out for ya

Scott · « **Reply #37 on:** April 15, 2011, 08:51:59 PM »

Not at all, I work for a bank and eithe way I was going to use my credit card because I get 1% cash back, but I will wait for the Galant to sell for sure so I can pay it off. I use my credit card all month inplace of my debit card and soak in the measly 1% cash back and pay it off every month, I'm the person banks hate because I've never once paid interest on my credit card, but Ally is loving my car loan. haha. I do appreciate the advice though, it was well given.

infliction · « **Reply #38 on:** April 16, 2011, 05:52:34 PM »

im the same way when i use my credit card. i rarely do. but when i do i usually pay it off on the first statement.

How it sits before I add today's goodie. Its nothing special, but there are 4 of them. Hopefully I can get back out there tomorrow and get some good work going, they are kinda a pain in the ass

First "Mod" finished. Now if only I was smart enough when buying the car to tell them to add Fogs, Spoiler, Flaps, and a few other things to make me want to buy it lol

Looks good i saw a 2010 one at a show today with the front chin lip, side skirts and spoiler and it looked good

Scott · « **Reply #43 on:** July 04, 2011, 05:47:36 PM »

did you happen to take a pic? mine has the chin and my skirts are in line with the car but the chin/skirts/rear are all black, was it different than what i already have?

Scott · « **Reply #44 on:** January 15, 2012, 03:13:36 PM »

So its back in the shop. I'm on Cars.Com researching a new one. Looking at a few 2011 with under 2k miles and checking into some 2012s
