finally got around to getting new tires, they are being installed tomorrow. i decided on the same tire that was on the car when i got it Falken 912's, they were a good dd tire so might as well use them again.
heres what i have been on lately.

Bleh, I need to take mine to get aligned. I haven't had it done in a long time, and my star specs aren't liking what ever the front is at now. Pretty uneven wear

So i have been thinking about redoing the tail lights, they look fine until you get within a foot or two and then you can see where it was sprayed with the vht nightshade spray tint. so i think what i am going to do, im going to wet sand the ---- out of them, scuff, repaint, wet sand, and buff. thus getting rid of any of the rattle can spots. and im also thinking about doing the side markers.
