I'll try to snap some later today. I hate the idea of taking pics of it when it's sitting on those pillows otherwise known as winter tires. 17s are not such a good look. But I'm trying to work out something with Harry over at bigwheelz - either 19s or 20s, not sure. Currently the summer set up is still the 18" stock wheels.

By the time meet time comes around, it should be looking pretty good. Suspension is coming in next week.

I can see myself going through more gas now. The nice thing about the exhaust is one, no droning, and two when you're cruising you don't even notice it. Give it some gas though it roars to life.

Be careful when the seller low ***** the value, as with this instance it passed without a problem, however, if the shipment was damaged along the way, who do you think will cover the actual full price of the replacement unit...? This just happened to my friend here in Calgary and now the seller is not taking care of it....you see the seller would want to recoupe the full amount from UPS (afterall, they did damage the goods), however he can't because the invoice was low balled...and now the seller is out funds and has to send out a new one and is left with damaged goods, but he has opted not to return any emails or calls...UPS said they will cut my friend a chq for the value as long as he faxes his paperwork in, but its like $30usd on the fake receipt and $1100 on the real receipt...hehe..I think he's screwed.

I thought about that myself when considering how to save money across the border. I realized there was a risk involved with a damaged or a lost shipment.

I'm a little pissed today.

I ordered some springs/shocks on the condition that they wouldnt use UPS. The agreement was USPS, and I have the exchanges. How does it show up? UPS and COD charges of just about $200.

you should not accept the package, and let UPS send it back to them, since you had the agreement. that or make the shop pay for your COD charges.
