Wheels look good, I like the color. You should peel off that DX sticker though

 

[bidi]

yeah, the DX stickers and the pinstriping will come off as soon as the weather gets nicer.

I do want ot paint the grill, but how do I take it out?
Do I have to remove the whole bumper?

nah its just a couple of screws. Some of them are hard to get to, but you can do it with an offset screwdriver

 

[D-rock240]

The hard part is getting the paintable strip off the grill. I broke two clips on the brand new grill I bought getting it off

Need any lowering springs (yes you do )? I have a set of MP3 springs with about 30k miles on them that need a good home for say $50 + shipping? Let me know...

[Shane5425]

trade in for MS3, you wont regret it..

btw, what parts do you have?

 

[nautical2086]

the turbo, the manifold, the ecu, some injectors, few little things. I wish I could afford the ms3. lol remember insurance is what is costing me a ton too.

 

[mazpro]

99/00 to MS3 FTW! DO IT

 

[Shane5425]

YES!! trust the previous 99/00 owners!!!

 

[nautical2086]

I'm not saying I dont want to, but.............. I can't really afford it, plus I live in NJ with the highest insurance.
