When I had the tires swapped over to the new rims, one of them had at least 3 screws in the tread, and the other had fix a flat in it. I had put them both on the rear for the time being till this check, and picked up some new stickies:

Also just some random shots because I've just been loving the rims.

Also ended up picking up a piggyback for the car and man what a difference such a small inexpensive purchase makes. Engines all but done I feel, save for a ported throttle body and lightweight pulley somewhere down the line. Not at the top of my list at all so I'm about to move on to suspension now, and maybe a few cosmetics. Still waiting on the center caps, but those should finally be here Friday.

I would have posted this in "what have you done to your car today?" thread, but I did this about two weeks ago. Feeling bad for not having washed my daily driver in a while, but we've been finally getting some snow storms every now and again. Finally gave it a wash, only a week before a "big" snow storm. The road salt all over it was driving me nuts, but anytime I even considered washing it, there would be another day of snow or sleet kicking up the grime.

I still want to give it a proper detail, but there's so many things going on in life that I haven't had the time to either do it myself or find someone I trust enough to do it. Needs a full paint correction AND a third respray of the rear bumper. If I didn't point it out, some might not have noticed the rear bumper is a different shade as it was horribly scratched and spider cracked when I bought it. The dealer had someone do a...poor repair on it, then the other people who did it couldn't quite match the rest of the car. Otherwise, I'd have the whole detail work done and possibly even get it paint protected.
