Thanks man! I'm having the head unit installed Wednesday so there will be an update then for sure. I don't know if I'll have any time for anything this weekend. I might repaint the wind deflector that pops up when the sun roof is open this weekend. It has white over spray from when the last owner had it painter. Don't even ask me how that's possible. I guess the sunroof was open...? I need to peel off the old tint as well so I can take it to be re-tinted. That saves me $150 or so for removal costs. Also need to find a new antenna mast and install that. Those are my upcoming changes I plan on doing. If you're interested make sure you click the notification check box at the bottom of your reply. Thanks!

The visors were delivered so I dried off my car and put them on. Not the best OEM fit, but for $20 I can't complain too much.

Thanks! Hahahah


So I'm thinking about just replacing both headlight assemblies and I guess the high beams as well. I figure the high beams are in almost perfect shape so can bring in some good money. I figure I can make about $300 or so with all of those sold. I want to get LED halo projectors and I found a bundle for $350 that comes with Halo Projector HID Headlights and high beams as well. That's why I would sell my high beams. Might as well make them match. Here's a link to the ones I am looking at. I'd have to pay hardly any out of pocket if I can actually sell my current ones. (Look at the pic I plan on adding to the end of this update to see what they look like on a white sc)

As you can see in some of my pics, I have a long silver patch going across my front bumper and I find the 97+ bumper assemblies a lot more appealing than my model. I'd like to find a 97+ and have it painted, but need to find it for the right price. Here's a pic of what I would basically like my car to end up like (Lights included) He has a lip on his but basically the same. I'd like 97+ side skirts as well, but that will have to come later. If I were to get the bumper, I would probably go fog lightless for a while. They're a couple hundred dollars for both so that would be a steep bill for all of the things I just listed.

This may be a little far out and a lot to ask but if anyone live in the West Palm Beach area reading this near the zip code 33411 or know anyone close to there, PLEASE p.m. me or contact me in some sort. I really need your assistance. If anyone does, I would be willing to pay for someone to go do something for me. Wouldn't take very long as I just need you to check is something is there. Thanks!

Hey guys, I got bored so decided to pull off the stock wind deflector that pops up when the sunroof is opened. I'm going to paint it black because I'm sick of the mystery white over spray it has on it. I also pulled off the front badge because it was looking shitty with excess glue or something everywhere and was really loose. Cleaned that up some, just need to throw it back on.

Thanks LN2, you just have to look around and find the cheap cars that people are desperate to get rid of. These people probably thought they were scamming me since we had to replace the starter only a couple months after buying it. **** them though, because we got it fixed in three days. Looked up the guy after we bought it and he had to live down here in Florida because he was arrested for medicare fraud in NJ or something and he's currently running some POS restaurant. Oh well, serves him right I guess.


Another Update:
I got the badge back on and screwed the deflector back on. Didn't prep the deflector even though I probably should have... Oh well. I kind of forgot tbh. Here's the pics:

Yeah, my insurance is quite high since I'm a male under 25 driving a sports car.
