well... this on is pretty mint. sold new at the same dealership. im the second owner to an oldman. with is literally just rolling over 72k i paid $6000 for it. i also got 2 new Dunlop Direzza's 3 new brake rotors and pads. and 1 new caliper. im also getting new shocks for the rear hatch on thursday free of charge. ohh... and i got an aftermarket roof rack that doesnt look too bad.

so i got an amazing deal on it. the KBB retail price is 9k

Yes you will have holes. You need the long rubber plugs that I have =)

You will need to drop the headliner to get at the bolts to remove it fyi. Not able to just take it off from the outside.
 
i like the cleanness of it with out the rack. but i mean its not a terrible one. its a fairly sporty rack i guess


ooo... and i have the origional window sticker brand new it was 17k
 
nice color :cool: but that shadow giant on the hood :blackeye::laugh:. I don't get why you would want to start messing with the engine and other stuff though and risk the problems that I thought you are trying to avoid by getting a new (er) car:shrug:

Intake and exhaust wont hurt anything. Of course on that engine they also wont do much of anything so the money is better spent on springs and struts.

thanks.. i like the color too. im thinking of taking off the pin stripe and this weird graphic under the door ding protector things. pics to come.

as for the engine... its goign to be stock for a while. suspension is a def as well as exhaust and intake. i also dont think im going to turbo it anymore. too much money and work. i may build the motor though

Suspension is a must though you should already have a factory cross brace under the hood. It carve corners quite well but dont expect much from that 2.0 besides good mileage and reliability.
 
yeah... it has the front strut bar under the hood. the suspension is really nice as it is. the only reason im gunna change it(when i do) is because the miles and to lower the car an inch or so. i also don think im going to do rims... i really like the stockers.

and no... i dont expect too much from the tiny motor. but i like the gas milage. im also not in a huge hurry to change the exhaust as it sounds killer the way it is. but the intake seems quite restrictive.
 
I bet NY loves cars from the factory with dark tint. :laugh:

Mother dearests car.

thanks... i like the laser blue and the orange found on the speed proteges. after 2 weeks the dealership has yet to get the shock to hold the hatch up and my inspection sticker was falling off so i taped it back on and a cop pulled me over had a fit about it. he tried giving my a ticket for fake inspection! and he had a problem with my temp insurance..... effin prick

the dealer will be getting a nice phone call tomorrow afternoon.
