Installing new rims
I recently bought four pristine OEM chrome 2004 rims 
with nearly new tires and sensors from a CF member. I am going to put them on my '02 coupe this Friday. Will I need to do anything regarding the sensors? Will they sync up on their own?

You will need to train the sensors so your car will recognize them. The procedure is available in the manual. It is step by step via your DIC. You will need a strong magnet to excite the sensors at each corner as the DIC tells you to.

Just use a strong magnet in place of the J41760 Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) System Programming Tool.

You will need to resync them with your car. If you have a decent magnet, the process is easy and takes only about 5 minutes.

Word of warning... If you have a very strong magnet put an undershirt around it. It will help to not chip or scratch the finish of the wheels. A friend used a speaker magnet and chipped the first rim.
