[Dpwhitehead1]

i know. didn't come with front or rear lips.. i got a dg front coming from Phen.. woot. can't wait for that.

Sweet...just wondering, but why is the rear so much higher than the front...

quite a few. but reliabilty is my concern. my real ideas are for the lx.

i plan, SS brake/clutch lines, CS FMIC and RAD w/ slim fans. exhaust, new rear springs, motor mounts, DG front lip, 03.5 rear.. etc

nice car brother! looks like mine used to two years ago ;-)

 

[FLAMSP]

wow really nice msp, gald you finally got one! you could try using a heat gun, then compressed air to pop out that dent.

 

[Dpwhitehead1]

thanks all. well I installed the Enkei Evo5s today. they look sweet. couldn't take any pictures cuz it's storming like a b****...

also i had a leak from the oil pan. i "THINK" it's taken care of. pulled off the pan, cleaned it really good, put a thick bead around the lip w/ black permtex.. we'll see. exhaust leak is next.. god that's annoying.. well.. and the wga.

i have no idea how to use a heat gun and compressed air in that manner.

That is really interesting....I wonder if it would work on really small dents?
