Spotted a BB 8 with an Autobahn front and MS rear kit. No spoiler. Downtown at 3:00 westbound on 4th Ave. Looks nice!

haha!! then there is another silver rx8 with chrome rims and exhaust, cuz the exhaust sounds nice and noticeably loud.

Little! shineauto makes good product. i have experienced once cuz I ordered shineauto amuse replica front and side from Rishie for my buddy's 350z after he crushed it. We went to the body shop together cuz i wanted to see how it fits but the guy works there said the fitment is perfect and the best he has ever seen.

not sure how much the total bill is going to be since the bumper requires a little work to make it fit. but I am only having the front install, the sideskirts and rear i am having the shop paint them and pre-drill the holes. I will install the sideskirts myself. so for everything painted + front installed i think it will be around $1500??

it is proving to be a little bit of pain though, I was talking to the shop and they said the bumper is too thin, and 'too' flexible, especially around the side marker area, so there is already some paint cracking/ spiderweb around the side marker area. He wants me to look at it before he continues, but I'm currently in Hong Kong, so I guess it will have to wait.... pita.. otherwise good fitment though

When's the first REAL snow hit (that sticks around) since I'm planning to go back home til Oct Long weekend, and my winter tires/rims are in my garage at home =p (Winnipeg usually doesn't get it's first snow fall til mid-oct which lasts for like a day, then around end of oct/early nov is when it sticks, last year we didn't even get our first snow fall til mid nov, global warming ftw?)

Round Halloween it can be minus 20*c

At those temps, even without snow the summer tires are useless.

They stick to the ground in the same way a hockey puck doesn't.....

oh shoot i said the wrong price, cuz I forgot it also includes respraying my rear bumper. Just a week before I left Calgary I accidently backed my car into a concrete wall! ( the little parking lot right between the telus building and the car rental place in china town.. I drove inside to see if there are any spots, and then went in reverse to get back out onto 4th ave... ended up backing literately right into the concrete wall of the telus parkade, scratched up badly ( bare metal) a little bit of the quarter panel and much of the rear bumper ( plus the rims.. but it was pretty beat up to begin with)...

**** me
