Dude Mike, I just got the same tires on as you. Mounted on some Enkei RPF-O1's
omg awesome. Been flogging them pretty hard on the surface streets and really haven't had them break loose on me yet.

I'll pay for gas as long as it's reasonable. If you bill me for $200 I know something is up!

That'd be nice to know if i was the kind of person who differentiated between colors like purple and mauve. A guy at my work bought an 8 is really the message I was trying to get across, but I can see how it'd be easy to get hung up on the whole color thing.

Well guys I did the zoom cleaner thing and it couldn't have been more of a pain in the *** for me. I ran into some unexpected trouble though, so it shouldn't take more then say a couple of hours like mention in the DIY.
Needless to say, after I sprayed the engine and plug everything back in. I had a freaking cloud of deadly smoke over my car. Nothing like the smell of fuel and gunk

it took all of 5 mins to remove bumper... 5 mins to put it back on.. not counting the extra 2 minutes to plug in the fogs.
I had Hoens before.. and yes, they match the xenon headlamps nicely.
took and hour and a half to clean and dry the filter

It didn't burn out, I had a crack somewhere in the fog lamp housing that was letting water in... my fog looked like a half filled fish tank. When the dealer replaced the housing for free they also replaced the blub, so my new housing had a nice yellowish glow while the other side was white 
Now everything is nice and white.
and yes, my car smiles often
