If anyone needs a replacement Passenger side fender liner for coupe because yours is really torn or you dont have one I have an extra in the shed...I had it installed for alittle while and switched a new one because it was rubbed alittle bit.....im picky!

I also have a Sedan Passenger side one that was given to me on accident from infiniti because they pulled the wrong part number. Nothing wrong with it. Anyways 20.00 bucks for the coupe and 30.00 bucks for the Sedan one.

Thanks CBlack for saving my car AGAIN last night.. was bringing back over the jack from installing some 5mm spacers on the front, and told him about a lug that took forever to get on.. He remembered the same lug when we mounted my wheels...

He took off the wheel, caliper and rotor (all in the dark w/ just a little light, dude knows the hell out of our cars, I told him not to, but he wouldn't let me leave.. LOL.. Good dude man..) and noticed 2 stripped studs.. Freaking spacers from the previous wheels messed up my stock studs.. Then when I put the lock on from the project kics lugs, it stripped the lock... Dang 300 dollar lugs didn't last 1 week.. CRAP man.. So will have to go w/ non lock lugs on that wheel..


Thanks though CBlack for hooking me up w/ 2 new studs man... I swear that dude has a whole carlot full of extra parts in his garage and "shed"..

ARP studs are supposed to be really good quality. Cant say any type of thread wont strip, its just a matter of how and when.

I would never run titanium studs if they were made..no point. I would recommend upgrading to ARP wheel studs. expensive but well worth the money and quality.

+1 on the titanium... the cost would definitely out weigh the benefit... most studs can last for many years and miles... just need to be gentle when putting lugs on and the studs will do just fine. I replaced many on my Maxima long ago because I was too jumpy with my power tools... just not worth it haha
