Im not sayin IM BROKE just only get to spend about 300 bucks a month on it. I have a system already. No tint  almost had 15% all around but canceld becase the jerks did not show up and made a excuse. )

( Yes In the 3rd Pictures you can see 2 dents Its a long story But im going to tell you. a week or 2 ago me and my buddie where just hanging out at the skewl playing some basketball. we where about to leave and some of his friends showed up . But what do u know they were pised at him for something. he told me to drive. soo i DROVE. one of the kids JUMP KICKED my car and put 2 dents and scatches never reported it didnt do anything. This winter Im thinking about repainting it Becase my dad knows how to Paint GOOD. I graduated school with auto body soo i can fix it easly. But any sugestions on color that would be great. evan if you could do something up on the internet as exampls that would be great. thank for lisinting to my story.

U have better aftermarket parts for your motor then the 3400. Use the search button and look in the 2.4 threads for some help on upgrades for the motor.

Clear the corners, tint the tails, maybe put some LED's in. I don't know much to do performance wise tho, i haven't done any yet. And btw, you are the second closest person to me, only about 2 hours away. The only one closer (that is active and i've seen on here) is aleroed04 in East G.F.

Yes i did it myself, i used a heat gun..only took about 2 hours for both headlights. Just make sure you be careful with silver piece inside..it is very breakable..and use plenty of silicon putting the light assembly back together.

theres the how to to clear the corners
removing the molding on the doors is a decent touch as well, but make sure you stop in at canadian tire and pick up some automotive goo gone and use a bucket of hot water and soap and a strong but soft cloth and rub the shit out of it
