Oh tell me it aint so, you put your muffler on top of your rim. Are you throwing your rims away because your probably going to have some bad scratches in that rim now. Otherwise keep us posted.

ya no kidding.... your very brave to attempt this yourself :)

but... teh least you could have done was get a bucket .... please get it off the rim and check it out right away! imgine if you accidently kicked the rim! put it on a bucket or anything else you have, not a near $250 rim.

Thats pretty crazy that you're doing it yourself - I hear its pretty complicated. I'll be in town til sunday if you need a hand.

And with that bodykit, new paint, and a turbo - your car is definately gonna be a force to be reckoned with in Cincinnati. Speaking of which, if me and my friend ever get this car club started, we definately want you in it ;) So far its me (cougar, soon to get the civic), supercharged v6 tiburon, turbo supra (supposedly 500 hp to the wheels) and I told Jared hes welcome too (especially if he twin-turbo's the stratus like he was telling me about :shocked;)

Peace
