Yes, it is from ebay. Fitment was pretty good. I had to shim the back down about 1/8" in the center and then about 1/16" on the back corner. Other then that, all the holes lined up with the OEM holes.

My seal was tore, so I pulled it out and sealed it with black caulk. I'm pretty sure you could just use the OEM seal and then use a sealant on the back side of the seal to ensure a leak free joint. This would make it look OEM on top. I don't think the stock seal alone would be leak free though.

When I repaint the car, that will be how I change it anyway.

yesterday I put my intake back together, I needed to order a smaller filter to make my Dinan intake work with my Depo headlights, also put my new clear corners on and stuck the old ones on my track car.

I also attempted to install my new Samco silicone intake boot, that was a fail. no one buy one of those, they're a huge waste of money

today I put new Autolite plugs in my 95 ti and installed my new wink mirror on my track car, completely unnecessary for autocross but it sure looks cool

Default Finally!

Touched up a few rock chips. Dabbed OEM touch-up paint in them, went over them with 2000 grit wet sandpaper, then Meguiar's polish. Finished off with clay and a coat of wax.

Also bought new spark plugs, valve cover gasket, bolt gaskets, spark plug gaskets, Magnacore 8mm wires, and cabin air filters. Oil supply grommet and new antenna grommet on order at local dealership.

Little by little, I'm turning her into my dream car!

I added a few new mods to the front of my spotless car today. 200 miles of aimlessly driving the countryside will do that ya know. lol

took car to shop to take a look at the crackling noise coming from underneath, I had thought that it was the cat, turns out it was a lose o2 sensor. fixed that right up and now i know that my cat is still good

however the mechanic kinda closed my driver door kinda hard with the window down and well, the stupid thing came off the tracks again. so I'll be working on fixing that window today for the 3rd time.

anyone have any advice on this? Iv done the repair but I have noticed that I need to be extra careful closing the door when the window is down. If I slam it too hard I'll hear the rattle and that's bad news. When its up I can slam it as hard as I want and its fine though.

edit~~oh yeah figured Id put up a pic of the car after fitting the new hood, thanks again zoner (still not sure if I want to paint it to match)

My son and his buddy replaced the headliner and switched the interior trim to black. I am so proud!

well i found the problem, you can see the marks where i've tried bending it back previously haha





that doesn't sound half bad jess, i think i can handle most of the job but the rail tweaking part is where i run into trouble. probably the reason why this is still happening

You could always paint the roof black if you don't want to paint the hood silver!

Glad it worked out for you- a few weeks after I dropped it off, I discovered the alignment shims that were on it in the back seat of my truck- if you need to fine tune the alignment with the fenders, I can get those to you as well. LMK.

Replaced rear diff fluid, replaced passenger side lower hood latch, wired my halo lights to be on with the key instead of just coming on when I turn the lights on. Think I'm done for today.
