what pisses me off is i have a spot like this on on the edge of my rear fender where the tail bolts in... i *know* this has been there since i bought the car, but i cant prove it. i just didnt notice it when i first picked up the car. it is very small tho so whatevs.

i tried to get my frnot grill warrantied after it was replaced when i got hit... it chipped like *crazy* within months - clearly a defect. they still told me to f off

Al couldn't help me after I made the trek to Westboro to have my calipers looked at. I only needed 3 replaced, 1 still looks perfect, and still couldn't help me. And only 46k miles too . What also suxs is that I only had 1 warranty claim ever on my VIII. Everything else I just took care of personally. Oh well.

i feel the same way. i used to not like them and they have really grown on me. i'd be buying them for weight and cheap price through a certain someone!

I have zero need for an autox only set of wheels. Unless you are getting R compounds i don't see a need to have three sets of wheels.

i totally disagree turk... i think having a dedicated set of autox wheels is a great idea if you are really going to get into it. i like the idea of separating my autox tires from my street ones... the autox tires are going to get beat to ****. plus like you said it opens up the possibility of going to R compound.

i plan to feel out a couple events... if i still feel that i want to get more into it then i plan to get a set of wheels/tires just for autox. the rpf1s also really do not cost very much $$, especially compared to the cost of rubber which will be getting eaten up quite quickly. between their weight savings, added functionality (having dedicated rubber for autox) and low cost - seems like a big win to me

i dunno it depends on the rubber you run.
