looks good btw.

Thanks man.

Myth # 5: Using petroleum- or silicone-based tire cleaners/shines won’t damage tires.”

Interesting, I'll be on the look out then.

Not bad, not bad. The only thing I have to critique is them damn tail light covers. If you can, ditch em and VHT niteshade those suckers.

Yeah, the covers are starting to piss me off. My friend is getting a shipment of VHT in soon.
I have to do my corners and rear markers and 3rd tail light over, and if any is left, I'll hit up my tail lights.

Also the thing is, I was contemplating doing the Berger Mod. I don't think it would look too good with blacked out tails.

This is from Tire Industry Association - TIA


Myth # 5: Using petroleum- or silicone-based tire cleaners/shines won’t damage tires.”

Fact: Many popular tire cleaners/shines contain petroleum or silicone products, which will damage the rubber.
Tire manufacturers add a wax-based protectant that helps to protect the tire against ozone, which will cause the
tire to begin to crack and dry rot. This wax protectant is forced to the surface every time a tire is flexed as it rolls.
The silicone ingredient in many common tire shine products dissolves this wax protectant, thus increasing the
tires vulnerability to dry rot. Consumers are advised to read the label when shopping for a tire cleaner/shine, and
make sure there are no petroleum- or silicone-based ingredients.

:P

My tires don't last long enough to ever dry rot:p

Nice burnout, rims look good for the color of the car , I love chrome, nice VHT in the rear, that what I did, for a burnout I would need a line lock, since my car hooks so well, I can power brake to 2200 RPMS and it still just hooks an chirps 2nd & 3rd gear. Looks good overall.

Re: My Install Thread!! (Wheels, Pacesetters and more!)

ok, ill take half right...nah, 3/4 right, since it says "most" have silicon or petroleum...

1. I can admit when I'm wrong.
2. I'm as correct about this information as you are.
3. Let's say your 1/4 right due to the fact you drive a VW. :p
