Looks like black chrome it is, hopefully by spring. Along with the akebono bbk (2017).

I've only seen them once in person, and they were curbed really bad. I'll be picking up a brand new set.

Every once in a while I'll see a full sized SUV, or a Chevy Suburban, with massive, incredibly tacky chrome wheels, but with these thin sidewall performance tires.

I really, really hate stupid people who parade their stupidity like a virtue.

You can't go wrong with either choice IMO.

I would LOVE to get the 19" black chrome on my graphite shadow. They would look damn good on vibrant red as well. Those rims are just flat out beautiful....

I completely agree. This is my idea of an SUV. (Paint job from previous owner, but it's grown on me.) Simple, rugged, heavy duty, with just enough wear to make it real. Hit the trails on the weekend, grab supplies from the hardware store, transport the muddy dog. Perfect.

That actually looks good, hexotic. Is that a Stone Leather interior? Can you take some more pics of them? Where'd you get them, and can they be had without the Fuji?

So many questions.

Its the beige interior, but the pillows come in stone as well. Unfortunately they all have the Fuji on them. A guy in my VQ|NORTH group bought a bunch of them bulk from china. I grabbe a set of black ones for my dad's Q50 and these ones for mine. The material feels like a faux leather, and its perforated like the seats. Quality is actually really good for a made in china product, although they arent that cheap for little pillows.

These rarely appear on ebay, most of the time with the logo. The guy my buddy got them from just relisted a bunch, and he listed some with no logo..... of course after he bought a batch lol. 2pc Car Rest Cushion Headrest Pillow Mat Pad Neck Holder Brace | eBay hope this helps.

Thanks! Just ordered a pair. If I don't like them, I'll just sell them here for $20.

On long trips, or in slow traffic, it sits just on your neck, giving you pretty nice support. Lessens fatigue. Had them for a day, and Im very pleased.

I was changing my oil last night, but the oil drain plug just kept spinning - couldn't tighten or loosen it, which was either due to the bolt being stripped on the inside or the pan... So, I brought it into the dealership this morning.

The guy actually showed me how the old oil pan was dented in (compared to the new one) and why pan needed to be replaced. $300 all said and done, including the oil change and new filter. Woof.

Ever thought about buying a Fumoto Oil Drain valve?

Now that I have a new pan and a plug that can actually be removed, I probably should.

Last night was the first oil change for the car since I bought it in late October.
