thanks for the comments guys. as for plans, i need to put the seats on hold because of my outflow of cash for school purposes and I don't wanna dip into my savings... I do need to pick up a 40/40 prop valve for my car though, but I would rather do that in person -- it's just going to be difficult because it's a specific one that I need (non-abs) and for something this crucial, I just don't trust buying one without being able to take it home myself. Once that's done, rear disks are going on, and hopefully soon after, I can get my rear shocks tweaked so I can run a rear sway.

Your car is the definition of clean...

I really like that lip, but the black paint underneath it kinda throws it off. Why does it come with it anyway? I thought mine was added when I bought it resprayed, but I guess not...

Thanks for the kind words

... But what black paint? The lower trim of the bumper? From the factory the bottom of the front and rear bumper is a slight texture and was never painted.

Ohhhhh...I see, it's textured like the rear is..

See, mine in the front is smooth so I figured it was painted..but I still don't understand the reason for it when it comes with a lip on top of it. Thanks for clearing that up though.

Oh, and I want to reupholster my door panels too. Thinking of going for a darker grey suede. Something about grey suede is sexy to me..haha.

I've thought about it... but I already rub if I hit huge dips because I'm running 215/45/16s and not 205s. I want to keep my car functional because I want to run it on a few courses and get some time behind the wheel on a track.

I'm already ready for a break from school... four days a week til 7pm then work the other three days... I'm finding it difficult to devote enough attention to my car as I'd like because I tend to turn any job (no matter how big or small) into a day-long ordeal Maybe it's my attention to detail, maybe it's my lack of resources lol.

I really want to get my rear shocks taken care of, but I haven't devoted any time to calling shops that are capable of cutting and welding the forged aluminum.


on a side note, I may (only a thought right now) design a full front splitter out of aluminum that follows the lines of my current lip. This one will be fully functional, connecting to the car's frame itself (where the tow hooks are). Plus, it'll keep my lip from getting further damaged from my stupidity.
