Huh? I've always had a petit AST.
I think He's talking about me...haha. I never knew it was an issue before. I will look into an oem replacement just in case, although the car does have extremely low kms. Thanks for the heads up!


The pics were taken on a bright sunny day with my Nikon on the tripod. Basically. the camera was really close and zoomed out as far as I could get it. Three photos were taken. One under exposed, one standard exposure and one over exposed. The photos were overlayed and toned using Photomatix. I know they're a little extreme and although the originals look great as well, just decided to try something different. Kind of gives it that dark gloomy "Any second now It'll rain" kind of look.

As for 99 Spec, I replaced the shift ****, boot and wheel inside (keeping the originals of course) and I think I am going to stop there.

Good luck with your next photoshoot! Hope to see some up soon.

sorry for the bad iphone images have some better ones on my camera but it died. Figured i would finally post up my ride

you can't see in the pics but i am rocking some 18x9.5 38 et front and 15 et rear rpf1 wheels custom powder coated black with a special sparkle. I tried hard but you really can't see the sparkle in the pics.

also anyone know how to stop photobucket from resizing my pics? it makes them smaller and i don't know how to make them bigger

One thing I've noticed in a few of these pictures..... very nice clean well modded FDs that still have the rear wiper mounted. Delete that ugly eye sore, and toss it off the nearest cliff. There's a member on the forum who sold nice plugs that fit well in the hole left in the hatch and were pretty hard to notice. I'm just sayin'

To keep the thread on track, here is my current desktop photo: (Yes that C6 vette got passed on the next straight )

I actually like the look of the rear wiper. Everybody has their own tastes. Just like how I hate how the FD looks without a rear spoiler.

The rear wiper is the soul of the 90's Japanese sports cars.lol
It does look a lot better with the wiper horizontal.

Pics of my white n few other locals.

I agree totally. Same goes for the antenna. When I had my car repainted BB, I elected to have them flushed with the body work. No holes, no plugs.

I agree about the antenna thing, once i paint my car white ill get rid of the antenna, now about the wiper.... iiiiiiiiiiiii dont know, i do like how it looks, never thought on having it horizontal tho (might try) lol, and im 50/50 about with or without spoiler. I've been wanting to get the 99, but i drool over shines low profile spoiler but at the same time i like it without spoiler lol... Fuuuuuuuuu!!!! anyways, heres another pic from saturday night with a couple friends



Note:All the latest pics have been taken with my sony DSC-H5 so they are not good quality
