What's up dood, sweet pick up on the mint hatch. You can touch up your grille with color match spray paint from Orielly auto parts stores. They will mix it for you and fill a rattle can with it. You can also get the clear for it too, if hey don't have your paint code on file, they can scan your cars paint and formulate a paint match. That's what I did when I resprayed my rear after gutting and removing the sound deadening.

That's great info man, thanks! Looks like i have my project for next weekend
Just remember that prep work is 95% of a paint job. I also cleaned, cleaned, cleaned, cleaned, cleaned, constantly untill there was no dirt whatsoever on my shop towels. I used preps-all spray can cleaner from Advance Auto Parts and blue shop towels.
oh yeah i need to pick up some more shop towels lol

Haha. I have to run the grille less look. Waiting for first paycheck so i can order my hood release cable. Looking good though.

Rocking the grill-less look until i decide on which one i want to replace the old chipped up stock one:

yeah, crazy isn't it? I want to polish up the valve cover, and give the rest of the bay a thorough clean up and make it better than new.
I'd do a bay tuck if i knew anything about wiring, lol.
A c pillar bar connects where the rear seat belts bolt in up top, then you have a shock tower bar that connects at the top of the shock towers, then below the car you can have a sway bar. The lower bars have the greatest effect on handling, like any foundation, it starts from the ground up.
Cool thanks, i'll start with sway bars first and work from there. If i just do rear will that cause some understeer?
well from what it seems i'd be deleting most of the components, lol. PS, AC, stock airbox, etc
yea, iseen those engine bays. they look sick.
Doing the rear increases oversteer.
I'm okay with that, i just hate understeer. Guess i'll start shopping around. If that doesn't solve my creaking i guess it'll just give me an excuse to get function and form coils, lol
I'm thinking that there isn't any difference between brands, and im looking at the blox sway bar. but is there any that i should avoid or aim for?
wouldn't surprise me if they were still on stock bushings, probably half rotted. is that something that could be done easily by a driveway mechanic?
