Robbie, what kind of rack did you get?? I had a hitch mount rack on my 01 LX and that was a mistake. Ended up with too much weight and tore some stuff underneath.

I got a Yakima roof rack for it. I was thinking about a hitch mount, but didnt want all of that added dead weight on the rear end of the car

yeah these cars aren't really built for the hitch mount. I found that one out the hard way. thankfully not on my SI........... I have always been worried the roof racks would mess up the paint though.

I am a little worried about it messing up the paint on the NEW paint job, so I have yet to put it on. I know quite a few people with roof racks, and none of them have had issues. But I will defiantly be taking it off every once in a while to clean under it and buff the area to keep it looking fresh!
Your links suck ***! hahah this site blocks n w p 4 life links dummy! But I checked them all out! Damm west coast wheels! the last 2 wheels look good! the silver RNRs and the white works. I need something soon... my car looks horrible!

On that note, I got some work done on this nice first mid 70* day... I will let the pics do the talking
I wasnt lying when I said it looked like **** with out wheels...


I ripped the roll bar out to hopefully get a weld in 6pt in the next few weeks due to that not being the correct one for my car... It leaned back a little too far for comfort...


and also busted out some quick work on...


Hopefully it will be nice out tomorrow again

I am leaving it all out, but as of now trying to decide what I am going to spray down in place of it all.

Thanks Should be getting a little more done tonight. I used brake/parts cleaner to get up all of the adhesive stuff from the floor last night. I will probably order my new roll bar tonight.

Didnt get anything done this weekend on the car... Ended up being on the road the whole weekend riding with friends. Here is a short video shot with an amazing camera. Has helmet strap for it, and you can mount it to about anywhere... Cant wait for backroads this summer with it
