T-66:
the door molding is in the garage being painted and having the gummy **** cleaned off the backside currently. just went out and found one. those things are damned hard to pull at the junkyard without a heat gun. ive snapped 5 trying to get ahold of one

unique:
the aero pieces came stock on any sport model car. make a wanted to buy thread. that's what they're for.

Interesting you say that... Back in the day when FCs were first starting be sold used the very first thing most of the second hand owners did was take the mudflaps off and sell or throw them away. I know because at the Rotary shop I work next to that was a very common request he got back in the late 80's and early 90's.

Funny how when things first come out people don't like them but 10 or 20 years later people like them

Kinda like N'Sync or Backstreet Boys. Terrible back then, but cool now.

i run silkroad rma8 coilovers
unique: dont do drop springs. its pointless. they blow out shocks it doesnt lower the car enough and your still going to be on stock dampening. save up 900 bucks and go buy some d2 coilovers or some megans. you will fall in love with the car the instant it touches the ground.

this right here is my main problem with fc owners. not saying dont do it unique but think about it people. you buy drop springs. 200 bucks. then you buy tokicos when you blow your struts.
grand total. close to a grand on tokicos and drop springs. grand total for coilovers? same price. now which is going to give you the better performance and more flexibility in terms of fine tuning the suspension??? real one piece coilovers come with camber plates. replacement shocks do not.

True but Eibach springs and Tokicos are much higher quality than Megens or D2s. To get a quality set of coilovers you are spending 3-5 times as much as a tokico/eibach combo.
