I dont know if 3gtl ones will fit but I do still have my sstock suspension...more welcome to the tophats if you can find out if it is the same part number. Worth a shot.

Question is. Do the front top hats have 5 mounting bollts?

The reason Im looking for the top hats are for my Koni's & drop springs. Not really wanting to tear down my stock ones for the hats.

We have gone to that location a few times, or the one in grapevine. I live right next to the one in plano. Me and opboarding usually try and set one up. It doesnt matter where we go, it can be up for discussion, have a bbq, or whatever. Usually about 10 ppl show up. Its always on a sunday since (most) people are off work.

Well... Got hit from behind last week on I-30 on my way to work. Fortunately the damage was just to the back bumper. Who knows people who know people?

This guy does. What do you need just a bumper cover and for it to be painted?

Thanks MBP. Yes, just a bumper and paint. I don't know if the support behind is damaged. Does your guy just do paint or bodywork also? If there's anything damaged behind it, we'll have to work with the insurance company on writing a supplemental.

I was a lil disappointed with the meet. It was smaller than expected and I seen just as many clean cars in the parking lot as I did inside the fence area.

I work at a dealership and they do bodywork also. Now if you wanted a quick bumper painted he is pretty good on the price. Ive never had any bodywork done by him personally so i dont know what he would charge, depending on what it is. If he can make a little side money and paint the bumper he usually will.

Well they were trying to keep the Honda/Acura's in the meet and they other cars outside they wernt. There were alot of nice cars outside in the parking lot, It was just as enjoyable outside the fenced in area as it was in. Excepet for the poor guy that had the tent fly off and smash his TL back window... that was sad. It was a decent turn out, im not really into all the old trashed rice civocs which there were plenty but it was a honda meet...

Yeah the last one a few weeks ago. The guy was in the middle of the lot with a bunch of ppl under a tent. It wasnt held down and the wind blew it over, i think the leg went straight through his back window. I didnt get close enough to look at if it damaged anything else. I didnt want to see a pissed off guy yell at everyone to go away or see him curl up in the fetal position and cry so i kept my distance.

I'm debating if i should let Nelson do my fenders or if i should bring it to a professional. MBP_BALLER think you can ask your guy how much it would be to roll and pull my fenders?

He doesnt do any rolling. I actually need to do mine... i rolled mine in the rear a bit but im hitting up front on turns cuz i lowered it alot more than i was. I would reccomend someone that uses a professional roller. I think there is a guy on craigslist around doing it that is good so im told. I dont trust people touching my car so im a bit weary of someone doing it. I think someone in houston bought a eastwood roller not too long ago... Maybe we should hit them up.

Not sure, check second gen forum threads, they will know. Maybe type it into yahoo and acurazine and you might find something. If it was a 3g id be all over that!

Eastwood fender rollers are $200 on ebay. Split it between the both of you and DIY. Then either one of you keeps it then rent it to other forum members for $50 or something to make your money back. Or resell it on ebay and get atleast $100 after shipping and use that to make some of your money back.

There is also a place I think it was in DFW that will rent them out to you. It was pretty cheap and came out to under $100 renting for a weekend. I cant remember the site though.

He can meet you in Addison or Irving, $50 rental for 5 days. And you don't have to mess with shipping it back to him.

Even sweeter deal if you could find another person to split it with.

I wish I had known about this site so I could have done it myself. I took mine to Speedtek in Haltom City about 4 years ago, and I think they charged 50 or 60 bucks to do the rear 2 wheels. So if you're not comfortable doing it yourself, I don't know if they still offer this service, but they can do it.

I used Tyler, he rolled my fenders real well. I have no complaints w/ his work, he even used a heat gun. He also drives a hella flush 350z that he rolled himself, so he knows his work.

THe only shop you will find that will roll and do a good job is kustomz or there were a couple. But I would recommend kustomz unlimited. I forgot how much they charge an axle though. I just borrowed friends eastwood and did it myself...took a while but I got it to work.
