Ran over a bolt.

OOF. Should be patch-able, even if RFT.

It was patchable but the installer notified me that the inside of that specific tire had a tear on the inside. I saw it which leads me to believe that the PO drove on it while flat and never had it replaced.

Glad this happened now and not tomorrow when I’m driving up going to Orlando and Tampa for the weekend.

took it for a ride.. any suggestion on what to do next?

floridaorange · 11-15-2019, 06:11 AM

Clear front reflectors would look sick

F30lolz · 11-15-2019, 06:47 AM

Currently at the $tealer for an oil change. I’m ready to bend over and fork over $1.6M

Maybe the tow hook front plate bracket? I’m going to have to order a few of them for my cars as I’m moving to Indiana next summer which requires front plates. I hate em!

Thought only rear one is required in all of USA?
Well... welcome to the European way

Front plate requirement differs by state here

chowser51 · 11-15-2019, 10:37 AM

Ohio's been a two plate state for so long. They recently changed it and it's supposed to go into effect next July where we will finally become a one plate state. I don't have a front plate on my car now. I think it's under the seat in case I get pulled over I can stick it in the window until July.

They make clear replacements so they still reflect. Looks better than orange. I went with color matched from IND.

No need to see the dealer for oil change, FWIW. An Indy shop is just fine, just stay way from the express lube places. Full Synthetic for $60 is about what i get in our hood.

I got mine tinted along with the tail lights and rear reflectors, got it done when I got the roof wrapped in gloss black. The reflectors still reflect, I like them way better like this.

Hmmm, well the dealer has ongoing $89 oil change specials. Plus, they advised me to bring the car back just before I hit 70k miles so they can replace the TC/guides/etc... all under warranty. Figured I would ask and they will do the job.

Today was a good day.

Yea, that's about right when I have gone to the dealer. I think the hours just suck which is why I don't go anymore. Im not taking time off work just to get an oil change.

However, I will say that while you're at the said dealer, they might uncover things that need attention vs the Indy that focus just on oil.

Indiana doesn't require front plates... At least they didn't when I lived there 5 years ago...

I stand corrected as I thought I saw front Indiana plates last time I was there in 2015.

Thank you Jesus!

Received some green P21w bulbs and fitted them in my NA spec prefacelift tails. Sure enough they flashed amber. So odd. Not sure if I want to use them or stick to my ROW amber tails. They aren't as bright as I think they should be.
