throw them away?! why? they were free. plans for it is to fix the front end, DUMP it, and add the "bolt on's". nothing too crazy. once i get it all cleaned up to were is really nice i might do a basic turbo set up. i also have an EK EX sedan but that is going to be strictly the family car. and with this DA i can do all the mods i want without worrying about passengers.

oh yea picked all this up $100
-Hood
-1pc JDM headlights
-R fender
-90-91 Tails
-Rear speaker pods
-Rear mud flaps
-Bumper lights

pics later. waitin for a good day to get my hands all dirty nd do work. stay tuned ladies!!
