Are you serious? I suggest you calm down. Then, I suggest you GTFO.

I hate to keep interupt the arguing, but I have a question.
Anybody ever repaint their moldings and/or black bumpers with Bumper Black? Should I use some steel wool or something to scuff them up first, or just clean them and paint away?

I've decided not to paint my std. hatch like an Si. Instead I'm just going to repaint the bumpers and moldings. I have all the moldings off anyway, since I was originally going to paint it. I'm hoping I can just buff out the body and call it good.
Got it. I'm going to take them out to the shop at my grandma's, since the heat is on out there. The paint says it has to be 70+ degrees. This way I can get that all done and not wait until summer

i use scotch brite pads...(grey prefferably the reds tend to leave kinda bigger scratches) and i use comet. thats the way I do it and they have been holding up fine for a while now.

sorry, i meant to post this sooner.
shake down the front end, you may have a severely loose ball joint/tie rod end that decided to show up since you unweighted/repositioned the front end.</TD></TR></TABLE>
The tie rod ends were fine and same with the LCA and UCA balljoints.
$80 later I have a new passenger side CV axle and the car is fine.
