tell me about it. i cant backup at night without opening my door lol. i cant even see the light from the reverse lights out the back window. (boom01)
 
mine right now is 15% in the rear of the car...and i can barely see out the back at night...i can only imagine how bad it is with 2.5% and 5%.

So there are covers for those. I assumed, but never remembered to check. Sweet.

I took a bunch of pics: http://picasaweb.google.com/clauretano/FIXEDCAR

installed my summer hood, and stuff.. oh yeah, relocated the power steering cooler to behind the radiator bracket (didn't allow my intercooler to sit back farther.. gonna have to redo the hiboost brackets. Painted my horn black again. Every spring it is very rusted, I sand it down, I paint it. It's getting old :P

Then I went to Sears to say "ugh yeah my jack broke.. there goes 100 dollars down the drain". .. they didn't carry the model I had (3 ton high-lift), but they had one that was just 10 dollars more.. they let me just process it as a return even though I bought it last August, had no receipt, and even though I handed them my sears card they couldn't look it up because it was so long ago. Oh and I returned it you know.. very, very used.

The new one is easily 2x the weight though. I actually had them bring it to my car haha wtf why was my other one so light (only like 50 pounds).. this new one is wild.

*horn haha wow.. I'm the master of typos tonight..

edit: oh and as of right now.. yeah I definitely want to keep my car, I love it too much and now that it is fixed well, I'm happy again. I'm buying the MSP big brake kit, new brake fluid, bunch of new suspension bushings, tein s-tech springs, and a couple other things I can't think of right now.. :)
 
^^^Woot!!! Glad to hear! Pics are looking awesome.....my fave is the last one in the garage with your evo hood installed.

Chris, your car looks great! Gotta keep it now :D

But yeah, one of my little things was missing. I think one person must lose theirs, and then set off a spree of people stealing them.
 
Today I got:

1. Torque wrench
2. A set of deep sockets
3. Zip ties for securing my battery
4. 3M Heavy duty adhesive tape (for putting on my JDM Familia badge)
5. That's it :P

(fight)
