I have no idea but I'll take a look at. it

However, if I ever get a flat on the road, I'd just get AAA to flatbed the car to the nearest tire shop where the tire can be fixed or to my house where I can remove the wheel myself and take it to a tire shop later.

My main concern was just finding the wheel lock key (that didn't come w/the car) so that I could get the friggin wheels off, whether they get flat or not

At least that problem's solved.

Naw, no car wash, I hand wash my car. Just kidding.
Ten minute job total with a ratchet, e-torx socket and short extension.

I did LED lights in my car and also love them.

You're right about the heat output. I found at least two melted parts that were caused by the old bulbs.

Pulled the front bumper off to repaint the faded lower bumper grill trim and clean behind it. Discovered a torn hose I believe is for the windshield washer system. I would've tested it but I had JUST finished washing it. Can someone confirm?

edit-should've taken a picture of it

Two new Pilot sport AS/3+'s for the rear, then a purge and fill with Nitrogen. Yesterday was a full interior detail and rear seat removal.

Bilstein B8 struts, H&R springs, RSS toe arms and new bump stops installed. This is how it should have come from the factory.

Last night I installed new PIAA xtreme white plus bulbs and broke 2 out of 2 triangle reflectors. Today I drove it, and tried to un #@*% the reflectors by mounting them with Proseal 890 B1/2

TireRack and ECS both have them right now. I got my fronts from tire rack several months ago when they were on sale. Then got my rears at Summit about a month ago.
