Prepped and primed my lower front bumper including my, "garage door" lower lip for re-spraying (Moreagrun). Surprisingly, the rubber DIY lip takes paint well. Tip: if you install a rubber lip, paint it after, not before installation.

Please post pics if you can. I have the same color ti and I'll be painted my "ebay" bumper spoiler soon. It would be great to see your results before I do.

This weekend I mounted my "M-tech" body moulding and although I really like the upgrade, some of the moulding doesn't lay as flat as I'd like. Gonna have to keep at it until all the pieces are perfectly flat. Will post pics soon.

This coming Saturday I will be picking up my Contours!!!! Can't wait...

I used to do that until people would complain that there are staples in their asses. I've taken my whole headliner+cardboard part out before and resprayed it back on. That worked and lasted for awhile considering I used the original liner. Still looks alright but it has recently been crippling where the oh **** bars under. But on the main sections it's solid.

I'm the only one in the car these days.
I was worried that I hit the roof with a couple staples. I heard metal.
No signs of damage.

Replaced the hood supports. Got yelled at by my mechanic for buying a car with "no history" and bringing it to him. It needs some work.....

Installed a sparco front strut available from ogracing.com for $120 shipped. Painted it satin black before the install. Makes a noticeable improvement in the steering response.
