i love the benz so far but i drove it 2 days before it went into the shop. i did a lot of research before i picked it up, so i have high expectations. i just love that im doing somehting different, not like every civic out there.

Ouch, that really sucks bro
hey if it makes you feel any better the day I bought the ride the owner, while basking at how good the trany was and such, reversed right into a fire hydrant! Yea, that left a mark both on the car and in her pocket

so you can crack your windows while it's raining without water coming in. I've noticed that smokers particularly appreciate them.
JDM, I would hardly classify your bilstein sports as "junk you don't need!!" You're gonna love them!
EDIT: I don't think you were talking about the window visors I was thinking of. my bad! The windshield/rear windshield ones are just for looks, no?

wheels will be here in sept.
nothing else really to do until then. lol.
im researching car audio, but undecided on which route to go.
ill do an 7" indash and 1 in each headrest and a custom trunk setup with amps, subs and my air suspension tank.
the plan for the headrest will be 7 in monitors with woodgrain surrounds.
everything is still in the blueprints.
i have the money, just want it all done right the first time
