    Ohio and front license plates

    Got pulled over for no front plate just this last year. The officer let me go with a warning because I had it in the car with me. I wish it wasn't an issue, I hate front plates. Heads up when you're rolling through Grandview area, those officers are eagle-eyed and motivated.

    Really want oem mazdaspeed3 wheels

    If you're in need of some wheels, and soon, then I think it would benefit you to throw a price out there. You'll probably get more responses/leads when there's money on the table. Good luck getting your wheels!

    WTB MS3 Roof rack

    Dude in half a year you could've easily saved up and paid the extra $50-$80 a new rack would cost you. I just built a roof rack, the base being control towers with locks, bars, and fairing, for around $360 new. In my opinion, skip the kayak holders. It's just extra stuff that can flex, etc. Tie...

    The Roof Rack Thread - post pics here!

    I read about over tightening causing issues, and wrote it off as people being stupid. However when installing mine I also ran into issues from overtightening, and I am very mechanically inclined. My current install is loose enough to be unthreaded by my fingers, yet I still am getting minor roof...

    APEXistud: Are you getting light roof press in around the control towers? I have the exact same rack and it's pushing the roof ever so slightly out of shape. Did you end up using spacers?

I've got a one car, that currently holds a smaller craftsmen wheeled tool chest, three bikes, one 12' kayak, virtually a coffin of storage, and a car. Barely room to move but I make it work. If I had your garage...

    Tinting...

    That's pretty much what I'm looking for. I don't want a full colored tint, just slight warm hues to tie it in with the car better. I'll keep looking.

    How do you drive?(MT)

    MPG: Shifting at 3K, occasionally running 2nd higher to get up to speed. SmileyTime: Slightly quicker clutch release on take of, minor wheel spin, shifting at 5800-6K. No need to double clutch in this car. Although it makes MUCH sense to know how-to, as a man. Kudos to the gentleman who...

    The Roof Rack Thread - post pics here!

    ChrisG: i just installed a Yakima rack with control towers a few weeks ago. I removed the gutter covers (start at the rear of the car. Open the hatch. At the very end of the plastic strip, you will see a small cap/thin line before the strip terminates. You need to use something to push this clip...
