1500 for a set of decently conditioned style 87's with good all season tires too much?

Eh. I mean, tires are the key here. It's a thousand bucks, at least to put new tires on. What are the date codes and the tread wear?

Toyos are ok. The date code is the real question.

I've been very impressed with NITTO tires (over here at least)

Nitto is Toyo’s lower tier brand. They’re generally fine.

Removed the tail gate lights (reverse and rear fogs) to wash dust etc. from the interior. After drying in the sun and with a hair drier, there are now a few water stains inside the lenses.. grrr... should have used dishwasher rinse aid!

If anyone out there could say a little prayer for my pano-roof ?!?!?!

I ask this because after 5years with my 4.8is and NO issues with door handles and NO issues with window regulators...last week, I lost BOTH front door handle carriers AND the passenger window regulator! ALL three in ONE WEEK. Needless to say - it would not have been a good week to touch my pano-roof as the third "expected" body failure item. If anyone is listening, thanks for the support!
