Q: What size tires would I need to best fit some 18x8 wheels that I just purchased?

A: If you are dropped, use 225/40/18's.

[dwjp90]

Q. I want to swap out my i4 to a v6, what are the steps required and how hard is it?

A. It will be much cheaper, faster and more reliable to go to a dealer and sell your i4 and buy a V6.

[G-spot]

Q: Where can I find black interior door handles other than the tan or silver that came in our's?

A: The cheapest route is to paint your own door handles with paint. You can; however, use the black door handles from these other make/models:

2000-2005 3G Eclipse; 2G Dodge Stratus Coupe/ Chrysler Sebring LXi
1999-2001 Mirage
1994-1998 7G Galant

All of these are avaliable at your local pick and pull (LQK) dealers for fraction of the price.
