If it's your car (under your name, you pay for it), do what you want.

If it's not, do as he says.

aight, but i was thinking, if i got them installed the same day as the wheels he wouldnt notice LOL, bc he would be more focused on the wheels, plus i sent him a lot of info on the Eibachs and how it wouldnt be lower than the vette and how its a good company and yada yada. i think im gonna persuade him. but if not i'll let ya do it haha

If you pay for it why worry about what he wants done to your car. If he pays for it OR if you're on his insurance for a lower rate then you have no voice in what happens to his car.

So its his car then basicly. Yeah your stuck untill its in your name, and you insure it. Till then he can hold that **** above your head. Thats why I alwasy bought and paid for my own cars and insurance so my parents couldn't say boo to me about what I did.
