Yea they are basically replicas of the CCW Classics. I too love those but like many here ha I cannot afford those. I like ESM, they seem to have a good product but I can't imagine its any different from rota/xxr etc. They will run well for awhile and eventually once the car is paid off and I have some cash to throw around I'll buy Work mesiters, thats my dream haha

Had to get a runner back from NY State to PA as quickly as possible today to beat the impending snow that was coming. Did it in just over 2 hours with only one close call with the cops (they seemingly chose to stop the GTI Golf that passed me doing about 85-90 in a 65 as opposed to me who was doing 75-80). Found all this waiting for me when I got back.

Currently sitting in the waiting room at the dealership having my pilot super sports put back on for the summer. In other news, it's snowing.

Looks good! How much did the powdercoat cost you? Mine are peeling as well, thinking of powdercoating them.

installed my full-blown motor oil cooler / radium catch can and perrin master brake cylinder brace.

had to remove my bumper again today to adjust the oil cooler since me and friend kind of rushed the first time but overall happy with the installation and the kit has no leaks

don't mind the futurama, i have a small TV in my garage since i spend so much time tinkering my car..



i bought some foglight covers which i will be cutting to
provide more airflow for the cooler, i need small bits for the close edges..


getting excited since i will be going turbo soon :burn rubber:

Dealership to swap tires? I'm curious how much they charge. Why not go to a tire shop?

Thanks! I'm really happy with how it came out.

I paid $85 per wheel + $40 to dismount all tires + $125 to re-mount\road-force balance. The entire process cost me about $500.

The color, if you are interested, is antique bronze sd matte finish from allpowderpaints.com. http://www.allpowderpaints.com/powde...-matte-finish/

XXR offered to replace them under warranty at my expense of dismounting tires and shipping the wheels to them. I may have saved a few bucks that way but I didn't want to get a new set and go through the same issue again.

Installed yellow Lamin-x fog light overlays and attempted to install the DC Sport exhaust tips but the bolt heads snapped right off so im going to have to make a trip to an exhaust shop next week to have that taken care of. Damn northeast winters and road salt.

Working on paint correction bit by bit. Should be done tomorrow. Makes me regret white since it hides scratch so well with the flake.
