    Welcome to TGC! (officially)

    Love the new paint job man. I'm glad she looks like new again. I think here you'll learn to go with Japanese parts when it comes to visual upgrades.

    Nice wheels btw. They came on my car when I bought it back in 2006. I later found they were sold at pep-boys lol!

    Browse around and use the search button when something comes up. Plenty of topics have come up around here and more then likely they have been well covered.

    well when the car went to paint the lady was nagging me about the gas door and rear bumper, i called around for a bumper and gas door and only got the bumper for 70$, butt no door so i hit up the junk yard wed and i got no where on it,walked out in my pockets with the pizo and cover. hell i was surprised the junkyard had 8gs, the last time i went there was none, butt deff let me kno if u do find one, il gona go again next week to pull the rear disc setup and v6 TB. they are running a good deal where everything is 50% off
    ill walk out of there with everything i need under 60$

    lol... the search thing is more for people who just ask questions and start new topics all the time. Just something we have to cover for newbies.

    I have a gas door btw. It's silver and not red. If that's not a problem, pm me.
