Yesterday I saw the AutoEXE spoiler in person for the first time.. and fell in love!
Sucks that to mount the rear brake light in my back window I'd have to get it re-tinted :'(

oh hay there... looky what I found!
http://corksport.com/store/category/...sion_misc.html
urethane front lower control arm and rear trailing link bushings from corksport.. where'd those come from?? I guess not everyone has forgotten about our cars after all :P
I'll probably pick up the lower control arm bushings (though I'll have to get them pressed in to the lower control arms by a shop.. I know of a place that would probably do it no charge though
) because I know mine are worn to crap.. for the rear stuff.. if it was a full set of bushings for all 6 links, then maybe.. but it's just for the trailing arms >_<
front:
rear:
the company that makes them is "Pedders"

Got a new battery (original lasted 4 years). Tried installing my AWR header but it is too close to the lower radiator hose. I tried for a couple of days to see if anyone else had a similar problem on several forums but it doesn't seem like it. So for now I put my Wagner shorty back on, thinking things through on how I want to proceed. This week is busy with getting kid's school physicals so it might not happen until next week.

i sanded primed and painted. no fogging yet other than lense oxidation.
in the drivers side pic you can see a spec of silver on the bottom almost in the corner... a tiny piece came off, i guess i hit the plastic with it when i stuck it back in. i didnt notice it til it was already back on the car or else i would have fixed it

Whatever, dude--you can't even see it. My car has all kinds of little **** like that. I always appeal to my practical side to overlook those minor blemishes. My mantra: fuckit, it's not a show car.
It looks good.

Those do look real nice. Makes you wonder why the US never got the black headlights like we did.
Everyone seems to prefer them, obviously no market research done on that one, haha.
Oh, and for what I did today; apparently blew a strut.
Rear passenger side is clunking every time I go over a bump or take a corner. Checked the endlinks, they seem fine. Sound is very distinctly only coming from the one corner.
