don't use the chemicals.
you have skanky coolant because your radiator or something else is probably shot from using non-distilled water. just flush it out really well and put new coolant in. clr on aluminum is not the friendliest thing on earth and may shitcan your radiator.

forgot to add that into your equation. also, what the expletive are kumhos? you really mean that you would run those when for the same price you can get a tire form bridgestone or dunlop for the same price with better traction and weather ratings and less noise? and if you were honestly going to run kumhos would you actually pay that much for them. i work at a kia dealer (make fun of me i can take it-tehy break and i fix them) and know the horrors of kumho tires since they are factory on damn near everything korean. i also know that they wear funny and are loud. i also know that if you are paying any more than 50 dollars for a 195 or 205 50/15 you are grossly overpaying for the itre you get. dunlop direzzas-not the greatest thing on earth-cost 53 a piece if you do some searching.</TD></TR></TABLE>
the rims were the item of discussion, not tires. so that is why they were not included in the in spoon list.

The Kumho Ecsta SPT is a great tire for "bang for the buck". It has very good dry traction, excellent traction in rain, lasts a long time (30-45K miles), and it's amazingly inexpensive.

kumho spt tires are highly recommended. do some reading in the wheel, tire forum to see what i mean. the 240 is an estimation. tirerack lists them at 51 a piece. add road hazard warranty and you will get closer to that number. dunlop direzza and yokohama es100 are rated pretty much the same as the spt. read this from tirerack

hmm, they start at 41.00 each.

Because if u just paint a part u have to blend to the next panels so it will match
and that bubbling thing is etheir rust under the paint or bondo bubbling up and falling off

makes sense... i really don't like the color on the car but want to paint the whole car. but.... i can't afford a **** load of money on paint supplies. I may just end up painting the pannels. how hard is it to bend? or what would u add to make the paint color lighter because of oxidation/uv rays from the sun?

On teh paint code they have differnt mixin ratio for most of them but it will not match the old paint the best thing to do is blend the panels and polish teh rest of the car
BLENDING
Frist u sand teh panel that u are painting with 400 or 500 then u sand the next panels with 1000 grit (exp u are painting fender, u sand fender with 400 then u sand teh door and hood with 1000 ) Or tape up teh panels u are not paniting clean them then u put masking paper over teh panels u are blending so not to get over spary on them
Ok next seal and paint the fender 2 coats of paint. then u pull teh paper off the blend panels before teh 3rd coat applie teh 3rd coat of paint and fan it out on to the blend panels do not go all teh way across them just about half way
Next clear all teh panels
THATS HOW I DO IT EVERYONE DOES IT A LITTLE DIFFERNT

ill add a little
thats assuming the paint on the fender and hood is perfect if there are any chip scratches on the nearest 50% or so of the adjacent panel nows the time to fix them, might as well if you are putting color down on it
on most efs (like mine with stock paint with wear) its prolly gonna be safe to say the whole car needs paintin
