Got some wheels in a trade probably going to sell them, ordering the ground control springs next week or so.

I'd LIKE to get:

Factory wheels refinished
New exhaust (literally just one click away from purchasing, but so indecisive)
Coilovers


Pretty sure only 1 of those three things will happen in the next 6 months haha

DO IT!

Does anyone have expireance with suede steering wheels? I've always been on the fence about them, but I would think they would just ware out quickly. I want to get this personal wheel, but don't want to shell out the cash if it'll look like poop in a few months

IMHO they only make sense if you're going to drive around with nomex gloves and have a steering rack that only goes ~270 degrees.

And yeah if you don't wear gloves the alcantara wheels get messed up quickly.

-profit
Sold contour, so essentially pushed that off the cliff so check that.

-changed serpentine belt, check (easiest belt change evar omg)
-dealership screwed up my order, so still waiting on rear pads I ordered 3 weeks ago, rotors are in
-diff and trans fluid will be changed this weekend if it's not balls cold
-bought wheels
-ordered lip 2 days ago

I'd say not too bad.
