Im not finished with the airdam. its just screwed on the sides. Yes its black, and my cars not.lol It was my first time with bondo. Theres a couple imperfections that you probably cant see on the pics. Tell me what yall think.

I got the airdam from a forum member here(O 16581 72452 5) and it had some minor cracks and stuff when i got it. Some of you know the story behind the airdam.

Interesting. What is the purpose of that piece of metal that looks like industrial flooring or utility truck toolbox? Is it some sort of anti-theft device to protect your stereo? What is the gauge sitting on the dash, and where do you plan to install it?

Points for creativity, definately

I am interested on the interior. Why diamond pattern metal? It looks, well, interesting. Not in a bad way. Very unique. I did notice it on your door too, btw.

Why would you want something newer? YOu mean, the reliability and cost of maintnence things? Oh, yeah, that

Just get a little daily driver, something like a Civic, and keep up on the X. You'll regret selling it (even if it has a diamond pattern interior)

why do you need something newer? What do college classes have to do with the year of your car. Do you need a 4 door? The 2 seater is the perfect college car. Go to a party, find a girl, no room for the "third wheel" tag along!

anyways I am offended as I am sure that alot of of the members here are. I don't judge cars by age but ability and condition. I am just surprised that someone with 1550 posts would say the car is to old.

Wow- Sterling must've made a few mods to the carb. No return line and a new linkage set up. Nice.

How's it running for you?

It just seems like everytime i turn around theres something else wrong(little but still..) with it.

Believe me, I love my car. After driving someone elses im always excited to get back in mine and take a drive to see how much better it is . It would be really hard to let it go if i had to.
