+1. There's a place in the tool kit for it. I want to order one next time I buy stuff online. They also go by "wheel pin tool."

Washed it today.
I changed wheels on the ///M today. Took off my BBS wheels and replaced them with my OEM 18's for winter storage. Installed a Skene Designs front license plate on my friend's Interlagos Blue competition package ///M and showed him how good hyper black ARC-8's look on his car :thumbsup
Looks like he will be ordering a set of hyper black ARC-8's for his ride :)

I went back and forth between the Skene and RHO and decided to go with the no hole RHO bracket. The only thing I didn't like about the Skene was that you still had to drill some small holes underneath.
True but since the bumper already had holes (two in my friend's ///M) and 4 on mine, two additional holes where you will never see them won't matter too much.
I've been running on my Skene Designs license plate brackets for three years now :thumbsup

Skene is Definitely a good product, no argument.
Threw on the winter tires/wheels. (Bought them used back in March or so)
Sport Edition A7 Wheels with Blizzack LM-25 RFTs.
Figured out that the TPMS don't work, or not compatible, or something...which sucks.
Also installed my weathertech mats
Yes, it comes in a tube with plastic end caps. The tube snugs in nicely to a blank spot in my tool kit (not sure if its meant to be blank or if a PO lost a tool), so I always have it with me.
I think he stopped making them, but I also managed to snag a couple of aluminum blocks that snug right into the jack pockets on the side rails. The block has little rubber nubs on each side (two per side) that hold it in place. When used with your floor jack, the lifting pressure is being put directly on the frame rail (as it would with the factory jack), rather than thru the jack pocket. I once forgot to take the blocks out after finishing a wheel swap. Went for a 20 minute drive and upon arriving at my destination looked at my car and saw the block still hanging there. I thought "Lucky! But, oh $h!t, what about the other side?" It was still there too!
Of course, two Californians post this... I hated California for this, so many people, so many cars, and so little respect... Door dings were the worst in California... I haven't gotten ONE since I've lived in Florida! *fingers crossed, no jinx*.
This is one reason why I don't get why people advertise "California car" and people get all excited. Personally, I don't want a CA car anymore... Typically they're abused...
Ok, I'm off the soapbox... Today I took the ZHP for a family outing... to Costco... Two kids in carseats, a stroller, and a load of Costco items, all in the ZHP. It was like playing Tetris with the stuff in the trunk...
Oh, and I changed a diaper on the hood of the car. She kept sliding down, must mean my wax job is still pretty good. :rofl
^ I think the CA car thing has to do more with rust and environmental effects on the car. Like my ZHP from Ohio is rusted pretty bad, but my first one was clean as a whistle.
