    I ended up getting the piece. Most of the cars in the yard had squishy battery boxes. I made out though. Car was back burnered for a bit but is back on. Should be wet sanding tomorrow. Hopefully painted by friday!!!

          Took forever to get pics! Been so damn busy. Just looked at all the parts I am so happy with them. It is going to look killer. Way better than the DIY for sure. Took more effort but doing it this way looks 1000000000 times better. I sprayed them with Trim black through a gun reduced a little bit and just couldn't get over how horrid they looked. The application was good just the color looks washed out and permanently greasy.

          The color that these are is Vulcan black now. Now to get the back windows back together..... =)

                  Yea, I had that car from 2003-2009. It got me from the end of high school, through college and into the real world.

                        The interior was stock when jweb had it, maybe a little tired in a couple spots but It really was a nice car all around back then

                            Aww that sucks, yeah it was definitely gray on gray back in the day. I love the exhaust on that car, it looks/fits/sounds soo good

                              Yea, I didn't do anything to the interior. It was completely stock besides a shift knob and radar hardwire.
