If it is very slight, I was told by someone at Direct tire, when I asked about some pulling, he said that the larger rims may cause slight, but normal pulling because the higher performance tires will follow the road more, if you havent had the wheels on long enough, you may need to get used to it, but my ride comfort feels like stock, except when hitting a small pothole...but if you say your car needs an alignment, then hopefully thats the solution

i know the dealer sells the OEM flat hood emblems for 50 bucks but than again you can get one on fmm. There all plastic which will probably need to be replaced after awhile in case you decide to go with a flat hood emblem just a heads up.

As promised, here's a clip of my Eisenmann. Oh, and btw, I noticed that there was a twig EXACTLY blocking the view of the pipes after I had already put the video on my computer and cut it. That's what I get for using the ground as my tri-pod. Then again, you should all know what an Eisenmann Race looks like from Nick's (the other Nick [from CT]) car.

D3 Installed!!!
Got my D3 installed today by a local shop in Salem, MA. They only charged me $125 which I don't think is too bad. These pictures don't really do it justice (friend's camera, mine is MIA) but I'm incredibly please with it so far. I'll update what I think of the Nav on it when I get more chances to use it. For now, here's some pics:

the max. psi on a tire is simply that, the most amount of air you can put into a tire.. this is an on-going fued for YEARS and YEARS now, I'm sure ever since tires were first made 
I'd go by whatever the manufacturer suggests on your door panel, maybe a little bit higher. But the reason they suggest that amount is for a "proper" ride.. as in SMOOOOTTHHHH. Call the dealer, they will tell you to go by the door. Call a tire company, they will tell you to go by the tire.
So honestly I'd say find a spot in between that you feel comfortable with. Something not too stiff and not too soft!
