Random Little Question Thread
i recently bought some 19" rays off of craigslist. i got a really good deal on them $650 with some almost brandnew birdgestone potenza Re050 tires on them. the rims have a little bit of curb rash on them, nothing major. the rays do not come stock chrome right? they are painted if im correct? if so how can i take the chrome off?
creaking sound after trunk swap
So I traded trunks with another member on here and after the swap I started to notice creaking sounds coming from behind the driver seat while I drive. Now this only happens when I go over bumps or rough road (Los Angeles road). I double checked and all the nuts are tight and everything seems to fit just fine. Any ideas on why it's happening or how to resolve this? It's annoying as hell. Any input would be appreciated.

I've seen them, almost bought a set back a few years ago. They were a pretty uncommon factory option. I also like the coupe 18's in chrome, I would love to have a set of them as back up rims.

06 sedan power window problems
hey everyone, im a new G owner and i bought my G preowned and i have noticed that when i go to roll my windows up and pull all the way back on the window button to automatically roll them up my driver side window will go all the way up and then back down half way. but when i dont do the auto and hold the button it rolls up and stays up...why does it do this? and is it something that is hard to fix/expensive?
any help will be most appreciated, thanks!!

Yeah, I was kinda wondering about that because I thought they might be a factory option, as I've seen other factory chrome wheels on the G.

Yet not all factory chrome rims look good. A 2nd gen guy here just bought these: http://api.viglink.com/api/click?for...13626968543733
His reasoning was at that price how could he go wrong. Oh so many ways I fear.................

That's the copper plating under the chrome. You're going to need a shop to strip them.

Salvage title? yay or nay?
I found a great looking 04 6mt coupe. Only 85k miles for $10,000 OBO.
It has salvage title (front drivers side wreck) but he explains its all been 100% repaired and he has reciepts to prove. He also insists that the car is in great condition (may need new tires soon) and that he will gladly take it to whatever mechanic buyer wants.
Is this a good deal?
Should you stay away from salvage titles?
My bud bought his 350 salvaged and it is fine and has no major problems.

I have BC Racing, they are good for a budget but if you have $3K to spend on them get KW's
It depends what your looking for, drop or handling
