I wish I would have taken a few pics when I did that. But basically, the cup holder/coin tray is too long on the sides. There is a plastic pieces behind that slot where you pretty much just have to eye it up, and then 'carefully' remove it. In other words, I took a screw driver and a hammer and removed the plastic part that was in the way. It looked like it was just an extra support, and so far I have not noticed any downfall from doing so.

My car sitting next to my alarm system for now...


D**n snow!

Red lugs look good. Are you putting the side molding back on?

Thanks for the photoshop kevin! I think I am going to go with red for now, and if I do get sick of them, I can always sell/trade them. Probably going to order some new goodies next week for the car.

And for the side moldings, yeah, they will be back on soon. Pretty much just waiting to get the car wet sanded and buffed. I have been busy and the weather has been kind of crappy lately.

I really dont know if its 'better'. Still is hurting, but I am a little scared to test it. I have wore a brace the last few days. Feels better, but I dont know what, if anything I did to it. Just scared I tore something.

Lol... I feel like your coupe is my coupe's other half. Haven't touched the body at all, but under the hood is where all my money goes.
Keep it up! It's lookin' good so far!

ha ha ha! Thanks man. I am working my way to it, just a matter of time and I no longer have a garage to work on it/store it in until probably spring again. So I am shooting for them for something under the hood, just havent completely decided what.

What set up do you have? and what kind of numbers are you putting down?

Oh, I defiantly know how that goes. Factor in temperatures in the single digits, cold winds, and no garage and it will make you even more unmotivated. ha ha

I am debating what to do with my set-up. Either swap it, d series NA, or turbo D.

i love your seats!!!! wish i could find a set like that. and maybe a bag full of money to buy them.

also i think you should paint the bottom side molding satin black again. along with your lip and the rear bumper part thats rough. just seems like too much red to me. just my .02.

Thanks for the compliments guys. As for the lip and the side skirts, I figure if I want them black again, it wont be hard finding another set to swap out the color matched ones, but I really like the way it looks.

Should be ordering some new parts either today or Friday Can't wait!

Thanks man. I plan on staying with them for a while at least. Maybe if I get sick of it, I will change it up... but I am digging the way it looks... and at the end of the day, thats all that matters

As for whats next... I have some parts in my closet that I am still waiting for this stupid cold weather to go away before putting on... Should be getting wet sanded/buffed soon, and I have been needing to call Weksos and order a few goodies...
I will post pics when I actually get the stuff, but ordering locking lug nuts, a new shift ****, and something to accent the sunroof visor that I already have for the car
