Thank you! MR on cloth is literally a dream. Totally worthwhile. You must have one beautiful ride! Would love to see pics.

Yes indeed sir. I tried getting my guy to do it while getting aligned but I was a day off - he was too lazy to set up the scales and was doing so the next day for some corner balance work. I'll try and make it over there one day he has them set up because I too am very curious.
I did promise to update as I go, so here's the latest. Went over to a friend who is one of the best in the tri-state for performance alignments (SJF Performance) and got the car dialed in. Turns out the pins were already pulled and the alignment was decent, but he's a perfectionist and he made great into perfect as always. Funny how a good alignment can transform the car.
And finally, you're all going to have to deal with random pics from my potato as I mentioned in the first post...so here's a dirty car/grainy shot after work:
I may have mentioned it before, but my second set of wheels/tires are as follows in case anyone is curious:
- APEX EC-7, 18x9 ET31F 18x10 ET25R no spacers
- 275/35/18 RE71R square
My angel eyes came in today but I got home too late from long hours at the office, so didn't get a chance to pick them up. I will grab them and install those with the black grilles and maybe some other goodies this weekend, and then report back.
