Now I won't be ashamed to meet up with you in Columbia sometime. Haha, just messing with you. Glad to see the snow plow is gone.

LMAO...Oh so thats why we haven't kicked it yet...:D

Thanks though man, I'm pretty glad it's gone also, what a mistake it was.

People have been gawking at my ride even more now, except this time they aren't chuckling

I don't know about you guys, but I kind of liked the pictures of the honda.

Haha well that and I'm about 4 hours away at school. And my 95 isn't the most reliable car to get me to Columbia.

I never said anything because I thought you liked it, but now that it's gone, I can honestly say your car looks great with the new bumper! and the chin spoiler you have planned will only improve the look!

UPDATE:

Well....Today it was nice out....I was feeling a bit froggy and.....

Decided I'd start on the suspension mods slowly but surely....does "the little things that count" apply?....dunno

My passenger side end link was long finished

and......WA-LA...all she wrote....I know I need new sway bar bushings...so those end links will be coming off again in the near future...I had pics of both sides but one pic sucked...

My passenger side doesnt even have a sway bar bushing, guess it fell out :dunno

...It's amazing that a nearly 20 year old car has never had this kind of stuff replaced....amazing I didn't replace it sooner....after all I've nearly had it 6 years...well thats it for now

Up next most likely.....lowering springs

Stay tuned

I'm looking forward to seeing those H&R springs on your car! It will look sooooo good.
And what color are you gonna paint your calipers?

Blue the same tone of blue as the h&r springs, I think it will go nice with the white wheels

any one know where I can find center caps like this...one of mine is messed up...I love these center caps but cant find them for sale....thanks

If the lip gets jacked off when I get new tires, i'll just paint the lip black...or repaint them....I'll be getting white powder coated Saleens this summer any way...although white is a beech to keep clean

a pic of car...fixed the rust spot above window

a bit of water got into the drivers side corner lens so I had to reseal...thankfully I discovered the leak during a light wash instead of a heavy rain

I also need to buff and wax the bumper...you cant really see it but it beaded water

Damn they turned out nice

Thanks..it was my first time doing wheels so I was nervous lol...I used duplicolor clear coat and it yellowed on me, ( luckily I didn't work on all four at the same time) so I sanded it off...laid another base coat and cleared it with krylon non-yellow so I could get 3 coats of clear on there...the duplicolor yellowed with just 2 coats

they get dirty mad quick though...like 2 days and they look silver :D...so I keep a microfiber rag in the car

So the clear yellowed just like that?

yup duplicolor wheel coating isn't worth a damn over white unless you put 1 light coat...2 coats will yellow over night
