I've been having the roof rack itch lately... with a sticker bombed fairing I'd be in heaven .



My Dad came home and asked, "what happened to the clean look?", then it took him a minute to understand the illest sticker . I took the bandaid off. I didn't like the placement.

Probably going to roll my fenders today, lower the front and order 15mm spacers, if I could find some that include bolts.

Herro my friends.

I've gotten a few things done in the past week or so, however I don't really have any good pics to show you, just a couple from my BB. Will steal my little sisters P&S tonight.

Anyway I have rolled my front fenders with no cracked paint , which means I also got to lower the front a bit more. I still don't know what's keeping my passenger side from going lowwwer but I did a bit of trimming and I think I got an eighth of an inch out of it :P.

Finished my rear suede armrests but I ran out of glue to do the fronts so no pics of that yet. I also got my interior xenon bulbs yesterday, installed them and was pleased with the results. Nothing earth shattering but a noticeable difference that cleans up the car a bit more.

I also have my city lights "installed" but not wired up yet, even after going back and forth multiple times with Aledelic on how to do it, I'm still not positive. That and being a lazy bastard all the time.

Oh. And uhh... more stickers.

Yay for shitty pics!



This is the only picture I have of the interior lights for now...



They aren't pure white from what I can tell, but they're damn close. They give a soft glow which is nice.

So that's what I've been up to. ALSO I'M GOING TO CLICK "SAVE" AFTER I FINISH EDITING THIS AND THEN I'M GOING TO CALL MEINEKE RIGHT NOW TO SET UP A MUFFLER INSTALL APPOINTMENT.

It was necessary to yell. Goodbye.

Edit: I also fixed my seatbelts even though that wasn't on my check list. After putting the interior back together my seatbelts wouldn't pull back when I would pull them out, which is a common problem after removing the B pillar. It was a quick fix and it feels so much better having working belts after driving around with them flopping all over the place .

Well. It doesn't look very different, you wouldn't notice anything. I'm still not sure what to do about the front. I need to space the wheels out some but I'm not sure if I'm low enough to make it look good.

Thursday perhaps? Getting my muffler installed tomorrow

Edit: I forgot to note, look how faded my rear deck is. The brown suede is now tan. Blah.

You're biased .

I need to do my rear brakes before I do a roof rack. Or both at the same time. I love throwing money at this stupid car.

Nope, that doesn't work.
