thanks! I have thought about it...I just dont get a feel for how it would look considering I dont have the update 90-95 side panels...so you see if I pianted it all white, it would look funny without side panels.

You should paint the bumpers white but leave the impact strips black, like the sides, you have all the door white and the impact strip black shadow!

Yea, same here. I am putting all of my spare cash into suspension. I HAVE to get rid of that body roll!!!! I am pretty sure I am going to buy Chris's sway bars if he still has them in a few weeks. I should also be getting my Bilsteins pretty soon. I found out that sportline shocks and struts were going to cost me over $1000 according to Rusty over at buymbparts.com.


Anyway, keep that troopa rollin'

The thermostat un-stuck itself, so now my fuel economy is back up, I have heat inside the car again, and its back to ol pokey slo-benz. Fack :C Oh well, it was fun while it lasted, and atleast now I am not going to be out 20$ for a thermostat and a hour of labor (I assume, I dont even know where the damn thing is). I had a fun moment this week, I smacked the CE into a tree in my driveway. Came down a little too fast, slid on some ice under the snow, and went off the driveway into a cedar that was all of 6 inches thick. Now, I had two options, tweak and try and steer, or just hold straight and take it. I held straight, and the tree tapped my left front wheel-well and dented it. No scratches, no chips, no cracks, so I guess I faired well. Had I turned the wheel hard I am pretty sure I woulda broad-sided the tree with my door, and I am assuming that would be much, much worse. I tried for bumper-on impact but when the right side of the car came off the driveway i slid sideways into the cedar. *****. So now I have to add the cost/shame of fixing that dent into whatever is up next for this summer. I cant take the benzo to school either, 3.3gpa besides. Dad wants to switch to NJ manufacturers insurance, so benz is a no-go till we are on that. OH well.
