    Annual car wash...

    So I realized I hadn't washed it for a YEAR the other day and decided I needed to do something for it before I did too much damage to it. After washing, "liquid clay bar"-ing (found it in the garage), waxing and waxing, all I've got to say is that anyone who enjoys detailing should take up another hobby for their own sanity.

    If all goes as planned, this wash will last me another year...

            what front valence is that? just the ETA one? what lip? my IS fasia is all messed up. i dont really know what my options are, but i think i like the simplicity of the non IS front. car looks good. could stand to go lower in the rear though.

              I know it's an early model on Koseis, but there's something about it that I can't quite pin point that makes it a winner imo.

              If this was henna, I'd have to steal it from you.

                thanks for the comments guys. it's on eibach pro-kit springs, but i'd never suggest them to anyone unless all they want from their springs it to lower the car. i did the turn signals red when i did the tail lights, probably 5 years ago, was before i could drive!

                the valence is just the old old valence as far as i know.

                it's got 242k on it, and it is ridiculously reliable. i swear i'm about ready to just not do the t-belt just so i have an excuse to toss in an m20b25 or something. i have no doubt that it will run as long as i maintain it at this point.

                  Agreed, something about it just makes it look cool. If you SLAMMED it, like that copper-rusted early-model, it'd look TITS. You should find a set of stock springs and cut them just for shits and giggles and take LOTS of pics..

                        the only thing i can really think of, is getting new bumper surrounds for the front. and rear mouldings. otherwise, i dig the car. thats not an OEM lip, is it?
