Haha, idk if you can from a phone, but to get them on here you have to. Maybe you can email them to yourself, save them on the computer then upload them haha. Yeah i feel like people have mixed feelings about them. Anyway, welcome to the site!

the hood was popped so it's not permanently like that
the interior needs work (carpet, seats, and dash)
and so does the paint

but i'm fine with those for now haha

i have a question about those coils, the guy i traded with said i can make the car smoother by adjusting the bolts on the coilovers? haha

on the top part (you can see it in the engine bay) there should be a little bolt knob thing. You turn it one way, the coils are harder, the other way and they soften up some.
I know on mine there is an S on one side, and and H on the other.

Welcome to nico dude! Looks like a great trade, check out some junkyards for cars with decent carpet before you spend a bunch on the internet, besides I hear most of that aftermarket carpet has pretty bad fitment :/
