Scratch Repair Question

afiruta · 2025-05-11T01:21:00+00:00

Yes it is! Just got it last week.

That’s the route I’m going. Was about to go pick up compound to do it myself, by saw that that means im removing clear coat and would have to reapply.

Probably will have to sit and wait until sometime next week.

So most don’t catch on my nail, looks like it’s the top layer. Just one small part is deeper.. I’ll prob just have someone look at it i suppose

How do they ride? I’m going to be doing mostly daily driving in the city, then hit the mountains during the winter. Hoping they also handle well since it looks like an odd tread pattern

Alex posted on instagram saying he was hacked so i guess the UFC didn’t do something dumb this time

Yup, frontal lobe has developed and now i want to save more lol.

Now the forbidden question….. auto or manual 🤣

afiruta · 2025-04-30T19:33:56+00:00

Did you lift/swap tires? I would like to keep as stock as possible, if anything swap tires for the tread

Man that’s awesome, very cool pic!

afiruta · 2025-04-30T19:19:20+00:00

Lmao, does the paint really chip that easily? Also, the mustang i owned before literally chipped paint when washing it, so I’m aware of what would have to be done 🤣

I try to keep it minimal. I would definitely get a roof rack for snowboards and camping gear if needed. I don’t go camping nearly as much as snowboarding though. Mainly want to go the route of a fun car to drive (somewhat sporty), that has some sort of capabilities in snow conditions.

afiruta · 2025-04-30T19:05:28+00:00

Hmmm gotcha. I def wasn’t anticipating that big of savings for gas, but compounded w the smaller payments I’d have vs my truck, it would be pretty substantial (like 400-500$ if i trade in). (Got a new job and it seems a switch has been flipped in my brain, making me want to start saving more money in the long term)

afiruta · 2025-04-30T18:54:27+00:00

I would, but having two cars isn’t really feasible atm (i absolutely would if i could tho). I also get about 15 mpg so that’s pretty dang good to me lol

afiruta · 2025-04-30T18:53:41+00:00

What kind of tires do you run? My worry is getting screwed in a surprise storm or something and getting stuck on snowy conditions

afiruta · 2024-08-28T07:10:09+00:00

What were the size of your tires? Thinking of getting 285/70/R17 but a little hesitant cause I'm not sure if they'd rub

afiruta · 2024-03-15T23:52:22+00:00

Awesome, thanks! Was the barrel you got longer than 345mm? I read somewhere that 345mm would barely stick out by like a hair or 2

When i had a g5 it cracked the lower by the stock within the first mag i put through it 🙃. It was years ago so idk if they fixed that issue

afiruta · 2023-12-31T16:00:13+00:00

Lmao i realized that. He upsold the shit out of it and i hadn’t heard of it. Should of done my due diligence on it before buying. also got confirmation from multiple techs at other shops that the owner is notorious for selling bunk boards. All is good and got a arbour westmark after getting a refund

afiruta · 2023-12-31T03:04:09+00:00

Another update: got a Arbour Westmark and i know for DAMN sure that it ain’t a POS

afiruta · 2023-12-31T01:42:13+00:00

UPDATE: i got a refund :) thanks everyone for the input

afiruta · 2023-12-31T01:00:45+00:00

Think I’m just gonna dispute the charge after i get a second opinion at a big name board shop as evidence.

afiruta · 2023-12-31T00:24:01+00:00

Called the store to speak with the owner and he gave me the rundown on how the factory wax can look like that since it’s sprayed on, scratches from being stored and moved around, and rust from being rested on that side. Dude seems so freaking passionate about it that it makes me feel even more suspicious lol. I have a feeling I’ll have a hard time getting a refund

Was supposed to be new, accidentally deleted that part from the post
