Still need a reply to my question two posts back. . .Thanks
woo I missed this I assume you got this done?

I wrote the text. the Al wheel has a different screw for the balancer weight, take the wheel into Lowes, Home Depot etc. And find a bolt/screw to fit the top where the weight goes. See pic, it's above the hub.

The wheel you sent me took the exact same screw. You made me waste $1.50 at the Home Depot you bastard :db:

You wasted more then that sending me an un-signed check you fool. :slap:

Maybe the V6 cars have their own unique balancer weights then, if you saved the reciept you get the $1.50 back; but you likely filed that reciept like your skills with the check book then too...

Take pride in that your monetary donation to me for the wheel will be going to LeMans style yellow headlight HID's housings in my Accord, soon. Just got the yellow film and new OEM housings last week.

It would be done sooner, but ask Schmiddy, my yard is in awefully bad shape. Must go water replanted-reseeded front yard now...

Why don't you upgrade those ugly 4-cyl style HVAC controls to some EX-V6 style units? Wonder if that would work in my car too.

Already thought about it, Chad...by the time I wired up the two temp sensors, sunlight sensor and everything else it just wouldn't be worth it.

And actually I only wasted $0.36 sending you the check since they were starter checks :fawk:

Do you have the sunglass holder in your car? I had my old Kenwood Sirius display in my old sunglass holder. I have a non-Homelink Sunglass holder if you think it would fit in your car, you might be able to hide that XM unit in it.
