Looks like some theif decided to give me a headstart on the dericing for this winter break.

UPDATE: Car broken into 11/26/08

Before Pic:

After:

Keep in mind I live in Michigan and driving back without a window in 25 degree weather is horrible with a broken heater.

All the gauges, amps from the trunk, DVD flip out screen were stolen. The hood latch was also broken with a little crack in the front bumper. I'm thinking about just throwing stock bumpers on if insurance covers this (i'll find out monday), but I'm a little worried about the intercooler sticking out so far that a stock bumper might not fit.

Any advise guys? or should i just go for the full 98-00 conversion since I need to replace the fender and hood anyway. I was going to replace the head lights to clear housing instead of black ones as well. Also, if I do change out the bumpers, I don't know If I'll be able to change out the sideskirts since they look drilled into the side body.

On a brighter note, I did manage to get a rolling shot this weekend.

wow. That was quick. Sorry to hear about that man. I've been fortunate enough to not have anyone break into my car. It's one reason i'm going to take the car back to looking stock.

Keep us updated

Such a shitty feeling man that sucks. Hope insurance pays out...

Crazy that they broke into your car in the winter...I always figured car shopping was a summer hobby

 

[wannabe]

looks like a good base to start with. i'll bet that thing is faster than most people in here calling it rice.

let me know when you start pulling things off, i would definitely buy that hood from you.

the things people do over a effin sound system.....pathetic. Hope you get it all covered.

and for your stock bumper, you can dremel the inner side of the bumper until you have enough room to fit it over the intercooler.

I will let you know...I live in Michigan though so shipping it might be hard.

Thanks for letting me know. I'm thinking of the 00 conversion at this point. Still not sure yet tho.

Anyway, i thought this was kind of funny in a sad way. Someone in another forum made it and it made me laugh.

....someone suggested that I should add "Unless the exterior looks like Shake's civic"

 

[el_betiyo]

If I was the owner of a benz, that would be the only car I would drive

 

[falcon]
