idk i would have probably bought the hatch for parts, put the ls in the ex after converting it to a 5spd (not hard to do) then the s2 suspension and hid's, the went to the j/y and pick up a 5spd tranny and put that with the a6 in the hatch, then sell the hatch again. but w/e your choice. lookin nice.

oh and the wiper wiring can be ran through the plastic grommet just under the wiper motor on the passenger frame thingy so it's hidden better. just thought you'd want to know

lol clipse i know u dont like my choice already damn. calm it down lol. and i changed from sedan to hb cuz we already have 3 sedans at home wanted to try somethign diff while still mess with the sedans too. and i honestly paid 300 bucks for the hatch like it is cuz i traded the sedan that i paid 300 for it so not a big deal. can just get a better shell later on and swap it all. and yea dcbr i saw that last night ill be doing that today. thanks for the heads up tho apreciate it and akshn1 it runs good. its open header and i hate that until i get the exhaust on so really havent gotten on it

Hey i know the driving laws in Texas are alot more laid back but how do the cops care about you not having a hood? The law in Va says you have to have a hood latch but nothing to the extent of an actual hood. I feel like its not illegal but it will cause alot of attention witch will lead to other tickets. In my county they will bust out the tape measure and give you a ticket for rid height. Just wondering if the do the same there.
