The finish on a pair of $10 autozone tips is a “wear item.” After less than a year, these were trashed. Metallic high temp grill paint to the rescue! For now, at least. We’ll see what this looks like in a month.
I also changed a 17 year old tie rod end in 35 minutes yesterday. That never happens!? And now both tie rod ends are brand new so all of a sudden, the Q steers like a brand new car?! It’s mind blowing. I just wasn’t expecting that whatsoever because I was concentrating on fixing the problem. I can’t believe how this boat all of a sudden... dare I say... darts around? The steering has always been weighted nicely - no one finger parking here - but now it has the precision to back that up.
Between looking at paint instead of rust on the exhaust tips again, and my unexpected “new” steering, I find myself spontaneously excited about my car again in a way that I haven’t been for a while. Next up: coilovers and 19s :D WERE GOING VIP THIS SPRING
Real sensible though. Like these:

I kind of like VIP, but I don’t get the big wheels part of it. No I’m not saying put Daytons on it, I just don’t get why the need to go so big.
And yes, to me 19's are big. Hell, anything above 16's still seem large to me. lol

oh dear lol. FWIW I won’t do tires that thin or go that low. More lowered than VIP tbh. But yes your standards for too large are way different. People slam these with ludicrous camber on larger wheels than that! Which I can’t get behind. So I see where you’re coming from to an extent.
