Winter 2014
Forecast says snow is coming, so I finished getting my car ready. Winter tires+rims on, did some rustproofing by hand, lubed all the locks n stuff, painted all chips and took the lip off ( guess i'll have to shovel the driveway after all)... should be good to go!

Car looks really clean, I like what you've done with with it so far. Are your front windows tinted? Canada FTW
[/quote]Thanks guys
And yeah, about the windows, they were, but I took them off after my gf got pulled over for her tints (any tint on the front is illegal in QC, we got ours done in ontario before we moved)

[/quote]Heh glad it worked out for you! Good choice on the RX8s, i was actually hoping to get some of those for my winters. Just missed out (by 1 hr) getting a set with brand new x-ice for $600 almost cried.

Dang thats a steal! Most local speeds here run 16 inch winters so that tires are narrower and cheaper.
[/quote]Yeah I know eh? I was sooo unhappy that i missed it, the guy even lived 5 minutes from my house. Anyhow here is a teaser of my winter setup that I did end up buying:
Total cost was 7$ for the paint and vinyl lol. Lightly used wheels set me back $700, no name 17" MSSW rims from china mounted with 3 mo used Micheline X-Ice
What the wheels used to look like (not my pic, only one i could find):

Oh ya, I know here in B.C. it's the same thing, were not allowed tint on the fronts which sucks, so that's why I was curious if your laws are different or not. The new wheels look sexy, you did a real nice job with them.
