Nice job though.and thanks man! for sure kenny!
i'm probably going to be picking up new fenders and front bumper this up coming monday, but this weekend i am going to attempt the sun roof so wish me luck, i need to find a new headliner or slightly used one, and in the new future all of my panels are going to be replaced inside, but i will take pictures this weekend while doing the sunroof delete.
and quick question.... the bolt which is a 14mm connecting my rear shock to my control arm is stuck...i tried everything... well i am pretty sure, i first tried an impact wrench, then moved to torque wrench torque all the way, at like 100 or somthing then i tried a breaker bar...its not comming off, neither are any of the other bolts like the 12mm on the camper kit. nor will the two 14mm's in the truck for the shocks...any ideas on how to take those off hahaha PB blaster?? idk i am stuck. i bought new nrg innovations coilovers, for $50 i couldnt pass it, they go for about a 100 online. these were new too, i know i know you get what you pay for, but the rear coil overs on my integra wont lower, they are stripped its weird i will see if i can find a picture.
any ways pictures soon =)
(edit) twin loop muffler...what do you guys think? i think yes.... opinions?
oh and can some one move this out of the new members section?

User title changed... what section do you want this thread in?
And I'd say go for it with the twin-loop muffler; I love the way they sound. As far as the bolts go, I'd get new bolts and nuts (when I did the coilovers on my EG I ended up replacing all six bolts with oem Honda... as long as they're grade 8 bolts they'll be fine no matter where you get them though) as well as new bushings (excellent excuse to buy aftermarket LCAs).
Basically, what happens with the bolts is there's a metal sleeve inside the rubber bushings in the rear LCAs. The bolts and sleeves like to corrode inside the bushings, and when they do, they tend to rust together and don't like coming apart. The thing to do once this happens is to just cut the ends of the bolts off and replace the bolts and bushings. However, I'm not really sure what to tell you about the strut bolts assuming you're keeping the struts.
(And Kenny, I'm actually on almost every day, I just don't post too much these days; usually by the time I get to a thread any questions have been answered and anything I could post would just be redundant)
