thanks for the warm welcome guys!
yes thats the momo rims im puttin on hopefully today!

And if you think the floormats are bad now....just wait it gets worse.
when i bought the car it had no floormats at all so instead of getting my carpet dirty i put in some old floormats from.....a kia spectra! i know i know thats like minus 20 cool points but its gonna have to do till i get some oem mats. and the bulky random steering wheel cover was on there when i bought the car and its stuck on there so ima have to cut it off eventuallly. i wrestled with it for 20 mins and gave up.my car is definatly a work in progress!

denut- im in spring lake park off old hwy 10, im only 5 mins away from Northtown mall. where u at?

Hey killawaffa, I am also a fellow Minnesotan. I am from the So. Minneapolis. It looks like very clean GS3. By any chance do you know a guy named Zach Humphrey, he went to SLP HS, graduated a few years ago, now works at Brookdale Dodge? I seem to be up at Abco, in Fridley like once every 2 weeks for my LS. Anyways, congrats on the pick up and welcome to the CL

Welcome to CL!

Nice clean ride you got there...like many said ditch the steering cover and go with a wood grain one.

Also, if the momos aren't hubcentric then get some hubcentric rings on there before you put them on or it'll be like vibration city.

UPDATE!!

I totally manhandled and samurai sword sliced off the steering wheel cover, that shizz was daym near melted on!! I got lucky cuz the steering wheel itself is in good condition, but im still getting a wood grain since that seems to be the general concensus.

3UZFTE--I just moved to Minnesota about 2 yrs ago from Hawaii so i dont really know anyone in MN. And i live about 2 mins away from Abco, so we should hang out next time your in my area.
