You get enough hot air from your girlfriend. That's why, when it comes to intakes for your new Si, you should turn to AEM's new cold air kit that pulls in fresh, cold, nag-free air through their new "Dryflow" synthetic air filter. Too bad AEM doesn't offer an application for your girl.
WHO: Volk
WHAT: GTM wheels
RIDES: Various applications
WHERE: www.mackinindustries.com; 562.946.6820The premier wheel design house, Volk Racing, is back at it again with the release of their new 19-inch GTM wheel. Featuring a forged outer barrel for increased strength and lighter weight, the long slender spokes (gunmetal, silver, RMC-chrome) of the GTM design is what you've come to expect from Volk-cutting-edge design paired with unparalleled craftsmanship. Our verdict? GTM-Get That Mutha-, erm, father.

What's black, has a strong center rib, runs well in the wet or dry, and rhymes with "neon"? No, it's not NFL/MLB legend Deion Sanders, rather Cooper Tires' new ultra-high performance Zeon Sport A/S tire.

RIDES: Yours
WHERE: www.nardi-usa.com; 714.842.5924
Are people at car shows calling you a "knob" for sticking to your stock steering wheel? Stop that by either bitch-slapping them across the face, or by succumbing to the knob title by purchasing a "NOB" Taniguchi edition steering wheel from Nardi. Unless you're swoll, we recommend the latter.
