I think the si style grill would look a little better. If you did the timming belt most people usally go ahead and do the water pump to. Clean car though. Probably a good idea to switch out the coilovers if they are no name ebay or something like that.

 

[atl2985]

yea the water pump was done too as well as all drive belts and a/c belt. I need a different grill too. And i can definitely tell that the coilovers are ebay or something cheap cuz the ride is pretty bumpy

 

[TigBitties]

that doesnt mean they are cheap. lower you go the higher the spring rate needed, the bumpier it gets.

I bet he just screwed through the bumper

 

[atl2985]

haha it doesnt matter whether you get an actual relocator or you just do it yourself, youre gonna have to make holes in your bumper

 

[atl2985]

here is what HiPower Motorsports had to say about their official liscense plate relocater.....

they arent hard to install, but you do need to drill 2 holes into your bumper.

hah yea i agree, unfortunately i did mine before i got fogs and it would have covered them up so now i have 2 holes in my bumper lol

 

[atl2985]

i just realized that my plate is in the way of fog lights too haha. i guess now ill have to move it when i get them

Good thing about the waterpump save you from having to go back and do it twice. Some people may disagree, but i used the ebay si style mesh grill and it fit perfectly and looks good to me. Only gave like 15 for it thats with shipping and everything. Before i removed the coilovers i would try and find out if they are name brand or not.

 

[atl2985]

aight word ill look in to that. and the coilovers dont have a serial number or anything so i dont know what they are. they look like they could be R1 Racing coilovers which is my guess from doing a little research and they arent that good i dont think

You will have to click on it to see the big pic sorry these pictures never want to post big but this is the 15 dollar ebay grill on my car looks good IMO.

Your welcome man and yours shouldnt be hard to remove since it is already an aftermarket grill, Getting the stock one off isnt too hard, but it aint the funniest thing in the world. Taking the front bumper off to get to it luckily bumper is only held on by four bolts.

 

[atl2985]

yea that was kind of a pain but not that difficult. I also have a question. My pinstripe is really messed up and missing sections in it. I was wondering if yall know any ideas on how to safely remove the pinstripe without messing up the paint....
