some simple wheels on an everyday commuter, I feel like the car was transformed.
and now, I make with the ranting. my calipers need a little love and attention. so I indeed to remove them. for this I desire hose/line clamps. everywhere, literally everywhere appears to sell this convenient 3 pack. you know what though, my car has FOUR lines to clamp! grrrr mondays.
so, any alternatives for clamping a brake line whilst the caliper is off the car? or suggestions for where to buy package or 4 clamps?

Yeah, your car because of those wheels is now indistinguishable from a Ferrari.

Now it looks more like a rally edition crap box as opposed to a boring crap box.

why do you need to clamp 4 lines? take one off, work on it, put it back on, move to the next one....one line to clamp

Is that a hair tie holding the front bumper cover on?

Again with the DOTS - what the heck do you mean? The only slang reference I can find is “Dozens of Terrific Stamps.” Here are the others from acronym-finder:

What exactly is that thing called? I see them all over the place.
EDIT: They are called bumper cover quick releases and they appear to be essentially some fancy bolts and a hair elastic.

Even in Coolio vernacular, that is wrong. The shizzle belongs on the dizzle, not the other way around.

Got it. Thanks. I’ll try to remember that one.
I guess Spotted in the Garage would be SITG. That doesn’t seem right. Down in the Garage (DITG)? No, that’s doesn’t work well either. I’m at a loss here....

And this is how I came to be the owner of a previously used set of vice grips.

Those wheels actually like quite nice on that Accent! I have the same model Accent - an ‘09 Acent hatch, but mine is in Midnight Gray Metallic, so that darker steel blue-gray color.
I’ve got the original steelies and hubcaps for my winter rims, but my current summer rims are just a used set of old ‘98 Ford Escort rims (with custom ‘Hyundai’ 3D-printed center caps) that have seen better days....hoping I can find a better set of 4x100 rims for it soon! :)
As she currently stands when the summers are mounted....this is before I had my latest set of caps printed/before I added the Oppo decal, so they aren’t in the pic.
Rims = so ‘90's.....lol
