But wouldn't that render them "non re-usable"? Remember, we're 1st gen people.

lost the side skirt spinning at an autocross. i plan in fixing it tomorrow when i go to kentetsu's. the zipties are still there for cosmetics. guilty as charged(think curb feelers). i want to say the tires are 215 or 225/50r13. sumitomos.

and front coilovers and camber plates are next on my list

Hot pink is the new full chrome body. It's called HOT pink for a reason.

But seriously, if you do that, I will come steal your car and bring it back to it's rightful, less obtrusive colour :P

Nice pics. Rule of thumb, wait for the passing cars to be out of frame. Other cars in the picture just pulls attention away from the true subject.

i totally agree with you, but when i pulled in the lot, i really was just turning around and then i was like, hey im gonna take some pictures. so its not ideal but it could be worse.
