Fine, I guess I’ll settle for a pic of your steering wheel.
Im pretty sure Ive posted that, too. If not here, then on Facebook. Just in case...

I know FunnyVictor wants different wheels, I bet he’d sell his HFP’s to you. Not sure if they’re the same ones pictured though. Either way they’re nice. RDX wheels?
I'll have to look at them. I think they wont fit. Not sure why but I thought I remember talking to him about his wheels once... And yes, 19x8(or 8.5) RDX wheels. Hell, they might even be 7.5. They're only +45 though so they'll fit like a glove. They've just been discontinued and are a ***** to find, for cheap. Plus 19" tires arent cheap either. :(

Chris, mine still works. *Knock on wood*

It makes a funny little noise when changing from CD1 to CD6 and vice versa but from 1>2, 2>3, etc it doesnt do it. Hopefully itll hold out til I get my AVIC. Who knows when that'll be, lol. I just need to stumble upon like $2500. Lol.

And what are you tinting yellow?
Gonna try it on my fogs. See how it turns out. I make a lot of road trips and on my last one I picked up a rock chip in the DS fog. So, Ima see if these not only help with color but with protection against chips as well.

Mikey, what happened with the heated/pf mirror situation?
Ugh. I.....let it go. Lol. Ive got the wiring diagrams for both US and CA mirrors. I just need a few things.

The pigtails on the mirrors are different. Id either have to re-wire the mirrors or re-wire the door side. I cant remember. I'd need a roll or two of wire and Id have to get up under the dash and find a passenger relay box and a driver side relay box.

Here's the diagrams. Pardon the crude photos of them...

They're identical until you start dealing with the defogger in the mirrors. Id more than likely need a diag of the entire dashboard to find those relays or know what's what. And I HATE messing with wiring. Ive not given up completely, but, there's a lot involved, including painting the mirrors. And Im just not sure Im ready and willing to put forth the effort just yet. It's not exactly a selling point later on down the road and Im not even sure if this can be undone once I hook them up, so, that's another thing Im looking at. Goes back to the whole idea of being able to return the car to as close to stock if/when I ever sell it.

I hear you, but props for ar least going through the steps to see all what is involved and making a decision.

The "measure twice, cut once" approach....saves alot of headache down the road.
