Im 20 I dont think I can deal with hubcap like that, I ripped them off the same day I got it.
 
BTW, it needs WAY more then just a fender... Looks like you have a bent drive shaft and control arm.

To have it fixed costed me way to much, such as.

1. One junkyard strut $45 dollar + $100 install fee
2. One junkyard steering knunkle(Sp?)$75 + $60 install fee
3. One new LCA with balljoint $125 + $60 install fee
4. One new axle (was damage in accident) $90
5. Aligment $59

SO total out of pocket I paid too damn much. Also im still fighting with the insurance company, life sucks.

What's wrong with that car:
-Scratched paint on bumpers
-Fender damage
-Hubcaps
-Fart can (there is no good excuse. none.)
-CAI/any performance mods on an auto Zetec
-The fact that you can't afford to fix mechanical problems, but you're buying exhaust/intake stuff
-OMGWTFBBQCAMBER!!eleven!1!!
 
GAH, I just saw your caption... THAT IS NOT A COLD AIR INTAKE!

when will people this crap straight?

Cold air intake goes out of the engine bay into a remote location where the engine's heat cannot affect the air flow... Where as a SHORT RAM air intake fits in the factory position and may suck in some of the warmer air.

You do not have a cold air intake. this is a short ram.

The ony thing is need is a fender (which I have), the stuff I listed was fixed. The car wasnt drivable, so why on gods green earth would I mod a car that doesnt move (think about it)

Why not? I'll let you in on a little hint; it's a complete waste of time, money, and people don't actually think you're cooler for doing it. Your car becomes a nuisance to everyone who has the misfortune of being within a two block radius.
