I'm diggin the color splashed lips and that marvel door fabric.

Cool touches, dude.

Nice car, looking forward to seeing the progress.

Thanks man, im thinking about doing the door trim splattered as well. Im not sure if thatll be overkill or not.

I also did the cluster needles in primary colors to accent the Marvel colors. Btw, i got the fabric at wal-mart for 8 bucks.

Took the old 4-2-1 OEM header off cause it cracked and put this one on there.


My ghetto block mount solution. Works fine. Yes, no o2 sensor yet 'cause it's in the mail. The one I removed was literally the one that came with the car, it had NGK stamped on it and my idle was crap till I warmed up.


My wagon trunk, what's the purpose of the silver thing on the passenger side?

[Darkcloud]

ABS control is that silver thing

[F22Chris]

Got this in the mail today finally. No more crappy idle and terrible gas mileage.

The coupe looks good! How hard was it to do the door panels? Im looking at doing something different to mine and need some tips

It wasn't too hard at all actually. My wife helped me do it. You just have to measure about an inch or two past the trim line. Then we started in the middle and worked our way out with the adhesive. We used 3M Spray Adhesive 08090 to bond it. You have to spray both the panel and the fabric, and wait for it to get tacky. Then, press hard, and work out any bubbles. Cut holes for the armrest, controls, and courtesy light. I cut an X instead of the entire hole, it's far easier. After that there's a thin slit in the panel where the old carpet tucked into. Tuck the excess fabric in there and you're finished. Took about 30 minutes a panel. And make sure to do it outside or wear a mask and gloves. The spray is mad messy.

I got a bra from the junkyard, it was ripped on the driver side so I sewed it back. I think it looks nice. I also found an F22B DC Sports header for 20$

I don't think the door trim would be overkill. You could also leave the door trim and splatter the roof liner. My wife helped me put a red flannel fabric on the headliner of my '05 Mazda 3. Looks like a sleeping bag, was easy to do and cheap.

I didn't see a pic of the cluster needles?

We got the flannel fabric at Walmart haha

[F22Chris]

I filled all the curb rash and gashes in the wheels from the PO and painted them white. I also repainted my valve cover, fuse box, intake, and radiator brackets. Word of advice, degreaser kills paint.

It does, I learned my lesson when I tried to simple green my bay. I still haven't fixed it.
