I ran those for a couple of years but they were a touch too blue for me so I went to 5000K. Perfect bright white light with excellent visibility.

I dont think I've ever seen a 5000k bulb.

They are pure white with not even a hint of blue. I bought mine a few years ago, think I got them from ddm tuning IIRC.

Blue is 6kelvin pure white 5K look it up on google images. You start losing light on anything above 4300k (stock). Exponentially increasing.

Emblemless grill came in so that will go on with new hood. Went ahead and pulled the trigger on an Android double din unit. Hopefully it works out pretty good

Used Wolfgang leather cleaner and conditioner thanks to the recommendation from some forum members. I clean mine regularly so it wasn't overly dirty but the cleaner really stripped down any residue and the horse hair brush helped get down in the perforations and seams.

The conditioner was also amazing. Leather feels soft and supple and non greasy. Smells really good as well.

Took about an hour to do both steps and it was time well spent.

Glad you like it. It's not cheap but damn it works. Wait until you've gone through about 4 conditionings, it just gets better from here. The conditioner has lanolin and mink oil which is why it softens so well and smells so good...........

Thanks, do you think putting a second coat of conditioner in a day or two would be ok or is that overkill?

I waited a week when I got mine to do another coat to give the original time to really settle in. I've done it once every 2 months since then on my GTO and it seems to just keep getting softer and softer so I'm happy with my pattern. Just remember like most quality car care products a little goes a long way.

Got a good deal on these Pirelli 255 35 20 so I had them replace the Nankang 245 35 20
The slightly wider tire/taller sidewall, bulkier Pirelli sidewall and newer/less worn tread depth has introduced some rubbing....

I was planning on spacing the fronts out to be flush like the rears but I'm not sure it'll be possible now without removing the arch liners - which I'd rather keep in place to keep the headlights/bumper/engine bay clean on the inside.

Also, as you can see on the rear's the tire letterings are on opposite sides of the tire which is good. But on the Pirelli's it's like a 1/3 of the way around with 1/3 of the tire having nothing. Do you guys think I should do the lettering over the tire size (which is in that empty 1/3 of the tire) so it matches sort of thing - like symmetrical?

something like this:

Meet on Campus last night was crazy. Cruised with some fellow VQ dudes, it was fun except we got there late and had to park at the bottom. I kinda want wider wheels...
