Re: EF CREW thread
Went on a junkyard run to get a ac system got the ac bracket lines minus one and picked up some goodies. Cleaned it up and the lines too. I am still debating on trying my luck with a used compressor and condenser but i might just buy new.
i do not own a ef sedan so this will be up for sale as soon as i clean it and figure out what its worth
found theses on the same sedan it was a ex model so it had plenty of options got the whole wiring kit minus the rellay this will also be up for sale soon

Re: EF CREW thread
So I have a question I wanted to get some feedback on. I am debating on whether or not to paint parts/all of my car. It is the original paint, and it is in great shape but not perfect. The hood/front bumper have some rock chips, the driver's side has a ding on the door and a scrape going down the rear quarter.
Should I get these fixed? Repaint the parts needed or repaint the whole thing? Or I am stupid and just being picky? I never see EF's with nice og paint and i dont know if that keeps more value that way. Any thoughts?

Re: EF CREW thread
Yeah, I hear both sides for sure. People ask me all the time where I got it repainted at, and when I tell them its original, they're shocked. I love the fact that it looks as clean as it does, but then I see rock chips and dings and I get pissed...
At the same time if I got it painted, i couldn't go half assed. It would have to be a show quality job (4-5K) and I probably would never pull it out of my garage!

Re: EF CREW thread
I would keep it OG since it's in extremely good shape. If you decide to repaint it, it will cost a lot and it would just sit in your garage like you said, so it can stay fresh. If my Teal was in the shape as yours, I would leave it be for now, but maybe in a few years when the paint gets worse I would consider repainting it.
I think the fact that it's the original paint job adds more character to your car.
Joint's perfect!
