Would anyone want to pickup a set of used Vredesteins 265/35/18? Let me know. I got talked into putting on the Bridgestones, but I will only if someone gets the Vredesteins.

OMG I drove down Hwy 100 yesterday and every red neck in a diesel truck wanted to race me.
on another note a friend of mine is looking at a black 04 VIII at dealer in milwaukee, I think he said Bergstroms. anyone know whos car this is? he said they said it had some aftermarket parts on it.
on another note, during the wind storm we had the other night, a patio chair got blown into my car and dented my fender, where should I go to have it dealt with.
thx and have a great weekend.

The 04 at Bergstroms has a lot of aftermarket parts, mainly from Buschur. My friend went to go look at it too and I inspected it.
Rims (3 out of 4 are scratched, rear-left one is the worse) have either curbing or was scratched or something because there were even scratches on the spokes. I'm guessing it's been in a small accident that's never been reported, thus having a clean Carfax. The dealership themselves DO NOT USE Carfax. They give you some other report so there isn't a Carfax accuracy guarantee.
This HAS the SSL package, thus it costing $19,990 and they will only go down to $19k. They rejected $18.5k so don't bother if you're going to go any lower.
Wing has 1 fade spot so it's starting to fade. Trunk is also striped. Some "carbon fiber" is starting to peel off. Hood has the chicken wire but doesn't have the vent. Don't know if this makes a big difference when it comes to rain or snow. Of course, it being used, body isn't the most perfect. Only found one ding somewhere and that's it. Very clean car.
Now for the mods that I noticed.
Hallman MBC
Apex turbo timer
Magnaflow muffler w/ Buschur TBE
Buschur underhood shifter bushings (maybe base bushings too because it was really stiff)
I think a short thrower too but IDK, might be the bushings tricking me
Swift lowering springs on stock struts (might be stock struts, couldn't tell)
Buschur ignition coil cover, metal
Buschur mini battery (warning, this WILL NOT work in the winter and I'll be damned if it won't start your car in the winter)
All aftermarket piping with a stock FMIC (seriously....)
Forge Diverter valve (non-adjustable)
"Powered by Buscher racing" sticker on both sides of the rear window
Buschur exhaust manifold chrome heatsheild
Some eBay oil cap that has a mirror finish
Gauges (oil pressure, air/fuel, and boost) on the pillar
Some kind of cone intake (forgot the brand but I know it's not a cheap brand)
"Carbon fiber" dash
"Carbon" window switch cover on ALL doors (driver side is starting to peel off)
"Carbon" over the original Mitsu logo in front (the entire Mitsu logo is peeling off)
"Carbon" shift knob
"Carbon" vortex generator
Project mU pads
Stoptech rotors
2 piece bar braces under the car
Car looks really clean except for the rims. I really like how they only took 1 picture of the good rims and didn't take any others. Has a lot of tasteful mods but a few tasteless cosmetics. They wouldn't let me take it out on the street but would let me get on it in the parking lot. It holds 19-20psi just fine and the DV blows really hard. Car idles at 1k so I'm guessing this is normal idle. Really looks like the previous owner took care of the car by garaging it during some time frame (maybe winter). Would suggest the car because of the millage but $18.5K would make it sell. $19k for an VIII with 32k seems a little high to me as you can get a IX with Mivec and guaranteed ACD for $1k more.
