because being a freshman, my parents won't let me bring my car up to campus, so it's sitting at home in Cincinnati why I am two hours north going to school.


But there is a positive to it because I've had a power steering rack leak that I am finally getting fixed but by not driving my car a lot, I've saved myself like 100 bucks on Power steering fluid, which has been reallocated to more enjoyable past times.

you did do a really good job on the paint, but man you can barely tell you have wheels on the car now. It's like you are hovering with those little white disks on the first picture.

shouldve painted them all white imo.

I was thinking about doing this too, I have the same type of rims.

What color do you guys think would look good for me...

There's a guy on here with our 2.8 wheels painted gunmetal and to me, they just look dirty, like they're in desperate need of a wash. Polished might look nice and maybe black, but I would stay away from brake dust colored paint.

We need a new designated photoshop genius...I think Leifer's taken to drink.
