my poor car..

new core support with fresh paint and aligned, ready to go.

oem hood getting a coat of primer on one side before sanding because of imperfections prep work is most important kiddos.

and the fresh paint.. keep in mind, this was only the second coat of base and is missing 1 more base coat and 3 coats of clear.

thanks matt! she's getting old though, sitting at 202k right now, hopefully i can squeeze out 50k more from her...

You should be able to hit 250k. I'm at 96k right now ugh. I remember when my car hit 20k lol. I'm excited to see the assembled pics.

i didn't run through insurance so i paid $1800 out of pocket

This is almost exactly what I'm lookin' at right now,
I'm currently driving with a bent core support, I don't think I'm gonna drop the 1,800 in it though. I'm at 215k, I think I'm gonna drive it as is for a while (I just got a new job that pays more and has way more hours). Once I get more money saved up I'm probably going to purchase another lower mileage CG1 or a TL-S.

sounds like a good idea but for me if my motor decides to go out then that is just the reason i need to swap with a jdm h22a so it's all good
