I would have liked to keep the 8 but I was looking at major repairs to fix things. Still would like to meet, say hi and have a beer.

I have since used up the RE-01r's, and now have a fresh set of 245/40-18 Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Specs.

I did a clay bar and wax a week ago.. Then I went to Idaho and had to leave her at my parents house outside while I was gone. I am pretty anxious to get back and see if there was any damage from the hail yesterday...

^^^ You have no idea... Wish I still had the pics of my CF hood keyed... Was about a 3ft HARD key mark from Left to Right at the bottom of the hood. Sucked...

Btw Zou, looks like you got your RPF1's mounted and installed before I. What size are they?

Mine are 18x9.5 +45mm offset and im thinking about getting some 265/35-18 tires...

^^^ I will either need to roll my fenders, get different tires, or get more negative camber, but I do want to.
