    To side molding or not to side molding... that is the question

    regarding the MR hatch.....i don't know, i'm just not feelin the indents. it just looks like there is something missing (the moldings, i know :roll: ) i guess the car just dosen't look as "complete". i still prefer the clean shaved look.... but since this guy dosn't want to shave, i...

    To side molding or not to side molding... that is the question

    no problem. the only pic i have seen recently was in the august issue of super street, on page 220. there is a green 5th gen hatch with no moldings, just the indent. its not a 6th gen, but its something to look at. that all i got :) good luck.

    To side molding or not to side molding... that is the question

    i have 2 sets of the moldings from the fenders. one set is vogue silver off my 96 fenders, and the other set is milano red, off a pair of si fenders from when i did my 99-00 conversion. both sets are fine; they just have some scratches. but either way it looks like you have to have them...

    To side molding or not to side molding... that is the question

    nice....and thats an interesting color combo you have- with the white wheels and cf hood. i did the bulk of mine myself and just had the bodyshop do the final finishing before they resprayed the car. is it just me, or do you have a real slight body line about half an inch up from your side...

    To side molding or not to side molding... that is the question

    i've seen cars with just the indent. looks alright, but i think the shaved look is better. and on 6th gen cars, you will have a bunch of square holes from the clips that hold them on. 2 in the fenders, 3 in the rear quarter panels, and 7 or 8 in the doors, i think. i did mine over a year...

    Got My New foglights On *Finally Pics..56k ok*

    once again, oem fogs own..... one of the main reasons i did the 99-00 conversion. and i think the stock "charcoalish" color of the surrounds looks good with your blue car...some colors it looks cool and others look nasty. mine is vogue silver and the fog surrounds looked really bad against...

    Radar detectors... do they work?

    people get on your ass because everybody does at least 5 over the limit. a lot of people do even more than 5, like 40 in a 30 like you were saying. your not going to get pulled over for that stuff though. as long as you are keeping up with traffic a you shouldn't get pulled over, no matter...

    Radar detectors... do they work?

    ^^ yeah thats one of the big downsides to radar/laser detectors. if your flying along and your detector detects laser, basically all it warns you of is to get your license and registration out. again, the best security is a smart driver with common sense. not that you should drive around at...

    Radar detectors... do they work?

    ^^^ yeah the v1 is far better than bell and all the other lower, cheaper (price and quality) detectors. the k-40 sounds nice but 1100 will buy a lot of engine parts...and they may pay for a ticket if you get one, but can they take points off your license??? ;) (chances are if you do get...

    Radar detectors... do they work?

    most higher end radar dectectors "work", as is detect the radar/lasar signal fine, but they won't automatically save you from tickets like some people think. 99% of the time common sense will beat a detector when it comes to effectiveness. if you have the extra money to spend though, they are...

    the number of your posts shouldn't count. the number of words you type should count instead. that way only worth while stuff will get posted, for the most part :roll:

    Tdc???

    as long as the camshaft and crankshaft are set at TDC (for piston #1), the timing should be right on. if it is off and your running really shitty, or not running at all, you got a problem. but just make sure they are both set before you put the timing belt and other parts on.

    99-00 conversion, grill modifying?

    good to hear your making progess...if you have a Dremel, or can borrow one, that might work for sanding down the plastic. you can get some pretty small bits and attachments for them. just a thought...
