Just an update on some stuff I found out about my car from the dealership...
Arright, I'm the person that was posting all that stuff about my pin stripings and how they would come off with a hair dryer and adhesive remover. I went to the dealership the day before yesterday and had a long talk with this guy in the body shop. He broke down some stuff that I almost had figured out before. For one, I found out my car was in an accident on the drivers side and that's why my fender is a different white shade than the rest of the car. Plus the under frame of my stock hood is bent all the way across and is not straight. Plus, the reason the #%@% pin stripes wouldn't come off is because when the accident happened, aparently, the insurance company told them to paint them on instead of replacing the whole pin stripe. So basicly, i'm like taking the pinstriping off with nothing but a rag and paint thinner. And to think, they were trying to get 10,000 origionally for that car even though it was used and in an accident! It still looks good though. A paint job and a new carbon fiber hood would make it flawless again.

10K.
Please tell me you didn't pay more than 4,000. For a 94.

usually a lighter shade on a body panel means it was involved in some kind of accident. also the "knocking" method around the different panels on the car sometimes works.

This was before I knew anything about cars. I like my car choice still but am kicking myself because for the price I paid, I could have got a b18c1 too.
