Therefore, when I see the actual work wheel, I mentally jump to replica even though I can tell between the two, if that makes sense what I'm trying to say.

Unfortunately that's what the wheel industry has come to. Especially with cars like civics and Miatas where MANY of the owners are poor and opt for reps over the real deal.

Hope I just made sense as I am typing this in class
I have CCW reps on my Civic... why? Because it's a fucking Civic and I'm not putting wheels that are worth double its value.

And I've had my fair share of well put together cars on real wheels.

Justin, if I had a garage your car would be sitting in it. I've told BC time and time again that it's the perfect Integra. I'd put a couple of rare parts on it, finish the interior to my "specs" and order some new wheels just to switch it up from when you owned it. I'd really hate to see it go

Also, this weather makes me miss my S. Gahh..

Was an OK turnout for only a couple hours notice. 5 or 6 S2000's and an Exige.

Really can't wait til spring time.

So looks like I'm going to be dd'n a s2000 again. I had bought a black 03 at auction (80k miles), had intended to just fix it and sell it.


Drove the thing one time and realized why I love ap1's so much. Thing is like new inside, and the last owner kept it up very well; never had a black/black S. I can do all kinds of naughty things with this, can't wait til spring time.

still working on it. hope to finish on thursday since im leaving town in a few hours. using poorboys ssr1 and poorboys polishing compound. im not 100 percent happy with it as of yet since there is still some light swirls in it, but it looks a million times better than it did. i need to get a pad with a rougher cut and go over it again in the future.
