The LED turn signal and back up lights look pretty good. Had EW drive the Z while I followed in the Fit. :icon17: Exhaust with TPs isnt too loud when following. :tup:

You think shipping will be that crazy?

Well it'll be at least $100. Will be considered an oversized package then the weight I'm assuming is around 40lbs, which will add onto the price.

I don't know what size box it would fit in, but if you could figure that out and the weight, just go to the ups site and enter all the information to get a quote.

killrain 07-22-2017 03:54 PM

Or ask someone that has shipped one out before. It'll save you the trouble. Hahaha

Leingod 07-22-2017 04:10 PM

These are coming along nicely!!!

Looks good

Leingod 07-22-2017 04:18 PM

May go use the rest and wrap a shift knob and the 3 guages.

Arrgh! I had a set of 2017 Nismo rims and tires "sold" to me from a forum member with no curb rash. I confirmed I was taking them and agreed on the price. I was going to Toronto this Friday to pick up and according to the seller he said he was ok with that. I cashed in 3500$ of my work stocks (no the tires didn't cost that much :D) just for this and got a message today saying he sold them for 200$ over asking price and the guy came and picked up immediately... FFS! I would have paid more than that if he wanted to barter but he made the price not me....
Doesn't matter who the seller is here but damn kinda upset right now...

That's crap in my opinion. He already agreed to sell them to you and should have kept his word, regardless if someone else was willing to pay more. He should have at the least informed you and gave you the option to pay more or to back out. :shakes head:

I would be extremely pissed.



It's amazing to me how many flakes are doing "deals" on here.

If you agree to a price. Sell it for that!! If you agree to buy something, then frickin' buy it.

Buyers. If you say you'll buy something, and decide you don't want it, Let the seller know. Quit being such self-absorbed little fackers and have some basic courtesy.

I can't count the number of "i want its" I get that back out and don't let me know. One guy did it three times. On something NOBODY else was offering.

If a seller does what your seller did, I think he/she should be permanently be banned from here.

Thing that bothers me is I didn't try lowering his price and I would have gave more than what he sold them for to the other guy (1700.00 CAD). When I said I could be up there this coming Friday I got "that is fine". I told him I would keep in contact with him which I did and told I have the money and everything is a go on my end and I will see him then and got a "that is fine" again.
Nothing I can do and I shouldn't dwell on it but I cashed in stuff I didn't need to. Guess I am in the market again for either Vertini drifts or new Nismo rims and tires :D
Living in Canada its hard finding decent deals that the border won't rape you on.

DeliriousClam 07-22-2017 06:36 PM

Hard to find people that are courteous when selling. Actually **** I'm considering getting something here but I told the seller not to wait on me because I'm not sure yet

eastwest2300 07-22-2017 08:06 PM

I just bought a set of carbon fiber mirror covers, so far so good.. seller, seems legit.

Please share with us this what user this was so we can avoid ever doing business with them. A link to the FS thread is sufficient :tiphat:

Oh, but it does...

Sorry this happened to you.

While I was under the car sprayed some rust converter. Later will apply bed liner.

killrain 07-23-2017 02:43 AM

Think I may have fixed my o2 sensor problem. It may have been loose bolts on the test pipes. Reset ecu and light did not come back on, even after a 10 mile run. Hope it stays gone.

Has anyone used penzzoil synchromesh in their transmission, or maybe combined it with another fluid? Just curious because it says it's safe for yellow metals.
