    Did this last night. Finished torquing it this morning to 37 lbs. Had one heck of a time doing it (at 5ft, 120 lbs..took all the body power I had in me and I broke a nail, haha)

    Nice choice! I'm still saving up for my dream rims (Rays).

    Meanwhile, I need to pull my hubcaps as my Plastidip just arrived in the mail - can't wait for Sunday! But I don't know the best way to remove them without damage. How did you take them off? I looked in the spare tire kit but there is not tool to pry them off.

    Are those wheels polished or is it a trick of the light?

    I got it months ago from Nigel-jdmparts.com but I think their might be cheaper ones on eBay now. Price with Nigel is still pretty good tho

    Relocated front plate without drilling. I just zip tied it to the mesh. Fits quite well.

    I think it's not just a fix it ticket anymore. Front plate is crucial for cameras at intersections and Fastrak. Not worth getting pulled over for. If you have a face lifted G3 it's a no brainer.

    How's the INNO rack in terms of noise and mpg? That fairing angle is quite upright.

    Interesting... I'll ask my neighbor who lives across the street from me who is a cop about this. He doesn't even have a front license plate on his car haha.

    There's local and state codes.. but I am pretty sure in SF, you can tickets. I would think with Fastrak and all those cameras, it should be state wide. Just saying it's a pain either way.

    Just received these cheap 9" DVD's headrest for my 2013 Persona, so my princesses don't go crazy in the back . Hoping to executed tomorrow. Anyone pointer where should I run the power wire to? Fuse or cigarette lighter outlet? If cigarette lighter, will it have enough juice or fuse which one? Thanks in advanced!
