Default Fixing the SOL - "New" Parts today -- 56k wait. .. ...

I finally got around to getting some parts to improve the look of my sol.

Let the pics load before you get the wrong Idea... I didn't go out and buy a bodykit or some altezzas, in fact, i ditched the altezzas in place of stock tails(much cleaner IMO).

Things I got in today:

Stock Front Corners

Stock Rear Tails

Stock Flywheel w/6-puck clutch (used )

Starion FMIC


Altezza VS. Stock

Much Better


I need replacements for a few things too..

Anyone got a nice clean and simple aftermarket shiftknob? Like the "type r" style on ebay.. just something like a brushed aluminum or something simple like that... Also.. The gay pedals that were on this car when I got it have to go too..

You would think that even more if you saw the over-spray from the previous owners gay paint job.

I want either black or the stock 2g eclipse burnt orange-metallic color (Love orange.. can't help it..)

I didn't say I was going to paint it..

Your reading the post from a shift manager at the mrs. winners.. full time college student..

I don't have money to get it fully repainted.. But I do have to replace the hood, fenders, and front bumper soon, so I will have them matched.. personally, my only problem with it is the over-spray.. but patience will solve that problem.

BTW -- Don't flame me for the muffler.. It came on the car when I bought it. 3A Racing baby! (any suggestions on a different muffler? I have ful 2.5in custom pipes from the down pipe back, so a different muffler is all I need, no catback)
