sorry, didn't see it at suspension, but just cut the two bottom "sections" out of the bumpstop, it's that easy.

yea civicexracer said the same thing, just doenst seem very professional to me

just painted all the silver bolts that hold my lip kit on black so you cant see them, happy with that.

my dad is bringing my rim/tire into town tomorrow and getting it put on

also figured out that i can spend half of my graduation money on whatever i want (other half has to go in savings and for college), i'm getting $500 to cut a tree dwon and cut it into sections for a logging company, and that combined with working 3-4 days a week looks like i might have a turbo fund on the way.....but we'll see

k i need opinions on a few things! Broken, ej6, and a few others that check this thread, tell me what you guys think:

so on my very first post on this thread i said i wanted to remove the decals around the outside of my rims that say Team Dynamics Racing. MXS recommended leaving them on because thats a good brand, but now that you can see these picutres, think i should still keep them on?

and for my rear bumper, do you guys think i should leave it stock or put my Buddy Club 2 back on? The height difference is actaully not even noticable of the BC2 vs. the stock side skirts, so it will look okay, but i'm not sure which one i will want more. What do you guys think?



vs.



(lol dont say anything about the tails)

I think you should keep the stock bumper, im my opinion it looks better......the rims i think u should take off the decal of motorsport becuase its all coming off and just repaint the whole rim white again.....or sell the on ebay and buy some black rims with polished lips like you had said before.

I vote for the buddy club bumper. I thought the buddy club2 bumpers didnt have the diffusers molded in? I like the lettering on the wheels, but its too worn out and I agree that it has to go. You could just have the whole rim sandblasted and go raw aluminum ;p

what do you mean? Like cleaning them up n stuff? Yea i'd make them nice before putting them up for auction, and take all the tires off them too so i can use them on my new rims

and เซ็กซี๼/b>, what are diffusers?

They're the vertical fins that come off the bottom of the buddy club 2. (right?)

I also vote for the no-go on the kit bumper (keepin it stock) and also a no-go on the faded/worn red lettering on the rims.

If you want to sell em, go for it. you might get them to go for that price. They are a good company. If they don't go for that, keep em and sandblast them back to norm and sell them like that. That way they will definately go...people would just paint them up and slap them on.

Looking good btw. First time I've read the thread in a while. Oh. I'm also really glad you got rid of those tails. They were/are positively HIDEOUS

haha i know, i had the red/clear tails the whole time, they came on my car, now i look at them and wonder what i was thinking, but i cnat say i regret my rice stage, we all learn from experience

well right now i've got prom coming up, so i just want to get my rims back on so i'm not rolling up on steelies to prom haha after that i think they'll be up on ebay, cuz it'll prolly be a week or two process of taking the tires off, packaging the rims, shipping htem, ordering new ones, getting the new ones in the mail, putting my tires on and then getting them actaully on my car, and for the time being i just want to get rid of the steelies lol

and with my BC2, my muffler rubs a little bit, which is noisy and is bad for the bumper, although it never melted it last summer. Which reminds me about my ohter question i wanted to get opinions on

Magnaflow or Netami Twin Loop muffler? I cant stand the ebay fake CF fart can anymore, I really like how the twin loops sound, but they are about $50 more than a nice Magnaflow one. Opinions!!
