Like the cf a lot, but that's a given - the gages and amp placement could use some work; overall though, I really like the color and the rims (yay for cleanliness!)

> not that i'm really one to judge, i have pink neons to each their own!

o yea sorry should probly give u some history on the car' i bought the car a year ago with 18's lowered on tociko shocks and neuspeed springs and a tore up drivers seat, tranny went out like 2 weeks later, well after like 2months of superior transmission tellin me just 1week longer and endless excuses i got a $1800 bill and a driveable car. So i started spending money bought cf 3-d gauges, a couple kicker l7s, cheap headers, injen intake, throttle body spacer, magnaflow muffler, tinted the tailights. well after about three weeks i had a friend that needed a car. So, i sold it to him for $500. And after like 2months i had to repo it. Well he blew it up. And now im in the rebuilding stages. I found another f22b1 with 20,000miles on it, swapped that out. Bought some cleaner 17s. Bought a w7 ran all stinger wires. Bought new brembo slotted rotors for the front and back(only installed back, dreading the front) Got the heads ported and polished, and almost done with the intake manifold. The car has an appointment on 6/25 for a new interior. Ive got a buddy with wilwood calipers that im considering making work. And am thinking about going turbo.

lol it burnt through the clear not quite as easy as that. im not really sure of what they used but it was a very aggressive adhesive. lol and somebody already tried to take it of and put somes gouges in it so they r covering that up for now. But my family owns a body shop that i knida run and im planing on having it completly repainted, when bussiness slows down. but dont worry they will be gone sooner or later along with the spoiler and the body moldings

Yeah man, I hear ya. I have some major pitting as well. It went through the clear coat, through the paint too.

looks nice. I'd take out the tranny for a manual tho since you're doing extensive work anyway and thinking of going turbo.
