wow, the dealer was excellent today. i called at 730am. they said bring the car in and they will order the key and take off the lugs for me 
drove there, 10 mins later, they said hey,we actually have the key you need in stock. bought it for $15.93. i guess there is 16 diff keys, and it was lucky they had the one i needed.

It sucks when you break the key. I broke that key to my lugs on the rims of my civic when I was rotating the tires. I went to the tire shop to borrow another key, but they didn't have one. So after they stripped the crap out of my lugs trying to get them off with the wrong key, they basically said I was SOL. The lugs were the old style where the key slips inside the lug. It was hell but my brother in law noticed that a 3/8" in extension for a ratchet slid right in and luckily we got the lugs off. Man was I relieved. It was a little scary finding out that my rims could have been jacked by a thief with a 3/8" extension and a breaker bar...
Glad to see that the dealer got your new shoes on for ya... Looks good...

Looks clean man, I like the way it all came together!
I really think a set of spacers would make the rear look a little more meaty! have you thought about them?
Good job

I have been to cwirlin's house and checked out his ride in person, man you totally re-produce his car again. It's good to see you put those parts in good hands. Looking good

Very fortunate the dealer had the lug and nice bling bling wheels 
. Did you just recently get this car? Because i remember you were pretty curious about the auction i got mine from. Either way i sold that gs4 and joined the darkside by getting a black one
