Doctor X your car is sharp. I REALLY like those HRE's. How much did they set you back if you dont mind me asking (otherwise I wont be offended if you tell me to kick rocks). Also on the DCT service I've heard varying things, from if you dont track the car you shouldn't need to replace the fluid to replace anywhere from 40k to 60k? Did you do it as a preventative measure or did something force your hand?

^^Thanks bud! The wheels weren’t cheap but they’re worth it!
My car is just hitting 50k miles. I had yet to service the DCT. I don’t drive it particularly hard, and don’t track it. I did it as a preventive measure only On another note, took my car in for an alignment today and watched the tech fubar my RKP front lip on the curb. People are so careless man. |

^^ Can you believe that? I’ve had a hard time recovering from the whole thing. They’re paying for the new lip, but it doesn’t excuse the fact that they are careless bastards.

Arizona to California.
Paying more for wheels doesn’t necessarily mean you get better service OR quality. Hit a single pothole and it bent two of them. I’ve never seen a wheel bend this easily. Lesson learned. |

HRE are supposed to be top quality wheels (and are certainly priced as such). It's a shame to hear that the durability and aftersales service is not at the standard that it should be. |

Wow! What did you hit?! I thought forged wheels were supposed to be the strongest 🤷🏻 That really sucks man, especially two weeks in.

Hit a windshield wiper or something driving on the 405. LA county has been doing a shit job cleaning debris off the freeways. Hoping a good PDR guy can fix this.

I would have thought access would be a problem in that position on the A pillar - hopefully I'm wrong though and a PDR guy can get it sorted for you. Looks like it has also damaged the paint though so the only way it'll be perfect again is if it goes to a panel shop. |

Installed a used afe intake. Nice quality, fitment was perfect. Not as much intake noise increase as I was expecting, but nice nonetheless.
