Good to see you made the decision to get the 3.2 bumper. Car looks better than before.

You should've had the sideskirts painted to match. I did it on mine and it looked great.

Absolutely, you can never go wrong with that color.........it contrasts very well with the black.

Well knowing that there is a lot of black, I wanted it to contrast in a different way, but it would chip off easily over time I'd say.

Mine held up perfectly for the few years since I did it. I still have the skirts, too.

Turn off ABP/NoScript while viewing the page, then turn it back on when you're done.

Well I have many connects and work with many of them, my buddy owns a autobody shop down the street from my work. He likes the car and keeps asking to buy it, but rather than paying almost $3500 he did it for $1400. not cheap especially the paint YR509-p I think, but I love that color. But see I got close to 5 grand off of it cuz some guy backed onto it and when I had the appraiser come out he totaled it out which excceeded the amount of the car haha, I salvaged it, took the check keeping the car and only payed that for the paint job and a salvage title for the whole car rather than just where it was damaged hehe and then got the headlights and all that good stuff, still pocketed a lot though. yee

Is there a way to set recirculation as default when A/C is off?
