    I have only seen it in passing on the street, but I don't recall the wheels were black. Maybe there are three of us!

    May very well be! This was was definitely manual too. Lights weren't tinted though, didn't know yours were.

    Also where does everyone get their tires from around here? I usually use Scotia on Robie but I might try something diffrent. Looking for sports tires for my other vehicle.

    I took some photos of the truck as soon as I got it into my driveway. The very next thing I did was remove the paint from the tail lights and tape from the headlights. I definitely appreciate the look, but I think it is not safe. I would be interested in modding or replacing the lights one day, but may never get around to it.

    Last tires I bought were from Costco. Next time will be Duratracks if I have my way, and I will start at Coast Tire for them. Not sure these are any good for your sports tires though.

    Haha not gonna run durratracks on my Altezza, haha.

    I agree with the tail lights. I honestly hate the look. Especially on black. A little tint is ok though. Gotta get that projector retrofit! ;)

    When they have a sale you cant beat their price on Duratracs. I needed mine sooner than a sale so I ordered them from Quebec. Even with shipping they were cheaper than anywhere local by $150 (for a set of 4)

    Does anyone know anywhere around this place that does the lifetime alignment deal like people talk about in the US?

    I couldn't find a lifetime shop around here, would have been really useful for me as my old car was on fully adjustable coilovers. I ended up just buying toe plates from Summit Racing.

    I looked a few years back and couldn't find a shop for lifetime alignments. Time to move closer to the border I guess.

    They work really well for me. It is best if you either A, get a baseline alignment from a shop for the first go, or B, have a solid rear axle and just use them to set 0° toe. They worked really really well for me. I'll buy a camber gauge as time goes on but this is great for me. I'm planning to use it when I start tracking my car as I can dial in a more agressive alignment for the track and then set it to not destroy my tires on the street in about 15 minutes.

    I order it direct. I've got a bulk membership. if you are in Halifax I can let you use my membership. I'm pretty sure I can get it shipped to your house.
