Default Pic of the 97 with a couple "new" things

Was bored and figured I'd share a pic of the 97 with the "new" wheels and one piece headlights. The car came with beat up 17 inch wheels that I sold to a guy who reconditioned them. I picked up this set of stock 16's off another local member with good tires for $150, and jc sold me his one piece headlights. It's nothing special, I still need to trim more from the fender so the drivers headlight sits back a little further, but it's alright for now. So yeah, another stock looking silver B5, big woop! But it is pretty clean for a going on 12 year old car with 175k!

Yes, I know, it's non sport suspension and needs dropped, and I need corner grilles (sineo!!!)

I normally park the 2000 there, and it does have a slow oil leak from the oil drain plug probably because I've reused the washer so many times.

If you saw the Modas close up you wouldn't say that. They were discolored/chipped all to hell. I didn't feel like fixing them. I got the stock 16's cheap and they are near perfect. Plus the modas needed tires and the 16's came have lots of tread left. I figured for $150 I wouldn't be able to put tires on and fix the modas.

LOL, wish you'd said something. I have half a dozen or so washers in a drawer in my garage. I could've thrown a couple in with the beer and door handle spring
