It's basically a no name brand header (I think). But this was the only D series 4-1 one piece header I could find on eBay that was in my price range. Plus, it's black Here's the link:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...=STRK:MEWNX:IT

I bought and paid for it on 11/23. I haven't heard from the guy yet, so I actually just sent him an e-mail asking for a tracking number, or any type of shipping info. I'll post some pics when I get it and once it's heat wrapped

^^I should be raising the car at least an inch for the winter, so hopefully that'll cover the potential clearance issues I may have.

Aside from the car, I got a job today!!!!!!!!!! Believe it or not, it's at Mishimoto as an online forum marketing manager . I start on Monday and I am excited!

Yea, I'm pretty stoked about it. I'll be the one answering people's questions on forums, bumping some vendor threads, and a bunch of other stuff! Obviously, I don't know everything which I will be doing yet, but again, I can't wait to get started.

Congrats! Hopefully that means continuing the project, even though you make decent progress as it is.

^^ Thanks. It has been easier to mod the car recently since I have no bills except for car insurance and my cell phone (about $180 a month). Unemployment was giving me roughly $900 a month, so I could easily afford my bills, save money, and spend a little. I was only receiving unemployment because QVC (where I used to work for) conducted a HUGE lay off where they shut down their West Chester office almost entirely within 2 weeks. I found out later that the plant was being moved to S. Carolina due to cheaper *everything*.

Now that I am working, I have more gas expenses, day care for my son (about $230 a week), insurance, and my cell phone to pay for. Believe it or not, this job is going to actually pay less then UC once taxes are taken out.

On to other news, I finally heard back from the guy with my header. It only took two e-mails, requesting his information via eBay, and stating if I don't hear back with any type of information by the end of the day today, I will be filing a paypal dispute. What do ya know??.. 3 hours later the package is marked as shipped according to eBay and a tracking number is in my E-mail's inbox.

How much do you get paid doing the forum stuff?

Eh, about that much. It's not the greatest paying job, but I believe it will be worthwhile.

going alittle back on your project, when you re-wrapped the headliner, did you have to remove the dash at all to remove it?
