yup art is at 5th gear now and yes it is drive-on. justin (young kid with afro) does the alignments at tk now. hes pretty ocd about getting things spot on so no complaints. they upgraded me to their 3 year plan free otherwise i would switch over to art since ive only heard good things.

Thanks, can't wait for it to get here, hopefully by my birthday next week! Most likely the following week though... Just like my G35 purchase, a whole bunch of mods will be in the garage waiting.
Yep, Art is back over at 5th gear. Omar from TK is over there as well. They do have a drive on rack and the M wont be a problem to get on their rack. I've seen them put plenty of slammed cars on the rack w/o issues.

be sure to post some pics of it...

I'm waiting to hear back from an ebay vendor who had the tires I wanted at decent prices. A friend can get wholesale cost from tirerack and have them drop ship, but tirerack shows the tires back-ordered. When my buddy called he said they weren't back-ordered...

He saw Charles at the Beach & Hodges DTC. He always hooks it up and takes care of his customers.

I've been talking to Charles all morning. He's gonna get me some Dunlop Direzza's 245/275-19 for $900 mounted, balanced and tax. I guess a couple extra bucks for the warranty is worth it?
