If 20 people aren't looking at you with a "wtf" face when you exit a driveway then you aren't low enough

tru. its the same thing here. but instead of dead animals, its trash. the other day i got out of my car and smelled a burned plastic/smell.( i thought it was a wire that was leaning on my headers) i open the hood and found nothing. then i looking under my car and saw that there was a wal mart bag melted onto my exhaust.

I've been thinking about picking up one of those S2k antenna's as well. How's the reception on those? Also, what do you need for the install, just the antenna????

it might just be a worn out steering rack, mine has always been kinda "loose" but the poly bushings helped a lot..definitely not like a new car though

car looks good man, get some valances and at least a lip if not a different bumper

reception is great! The threads are not long enough so you have to grind off the stud, drill and run a longer bolt in and grind the head off the bolt to make it work

Thanks Josh , I acually like the front bumper u have, than some rear vals , and I'll be coo with that

but my first priority it mechanical, fixing the steering issue and figuring out some rear noise I have, than I'll do more looks and go fast goodies, and some track time =]
