Not going to do much with it, but I do have some buddyclub p-1 SF wheels on the way, and my tint job scheduled. Might do an exhaust, but I don't want to get too carried away on my beater
i'm going to post this weekend maybe, rims and visors are hopefully going to arrive by the end of this week.
not alot of TWB owners are on this site. i've seen a bunch of fits on the road, i rarely see TWB fits, maybe 3 at most.

Thanks..... but I have been on the board 5 months longer than you 
I bought the car last October as a repairable. Car was totaled out with 340 miles on it! needed about 1500 in parts, no frame damage... car really only need a new head lamp, tail lamp, front bumper, and front fender. Can't figure it out; regardless, I have a like new 08 fit for under 8000 bucks. Was going to flip it, but liked the car too much to sell. So it stays as my beater

it is considered prior salvage. I was laughing though because I just took it in for inspection and you have to list all the work you have done with a notarized and signed affidavit. I had about 5 reciepts for parts and about 5 lines describing all the work that was done...... I was thinking to myself that all of this totaled this thing out??? what is even more humorous is the fact that the prior owner only filled the car with gas 1 time and totaled it out with over 1/2 a tank left

hey guys... took me awhile but here are some updated pics... just some quick shots...
Ground control sleeves and tint... and the wheel gap will be fixed later when i buy bigger tires... 205/50R15 tires right now.. but sidewall size on the stock steelies were 65... so.. tires are a bit small..
(note: i can drop about 0.75 more inches front, and .5 inches more rear... but since im on stock shocks decided not to drop it entirely)

yeah, i got bored and i also added JDM window visors as well. it's kinda hard to see them.
i got the apexi wsII axleback and T1R intake yesterday. i'll install them this weekend. i think i'm going to spray paint the axleback black with the left over paint because i don't want the muffler to be noticed while i'm driving.
yup, that's all i'm spending on this tiny car........ till the stock shocks give out. then i guess it's coilovers. that'll be a long ways away.

a few random shots after installing dirty hood, and impromtu rolling shot
not 100% sure if keeping hood yet, if i do i'll prolly redo the clear cuz it's yellowing a bit and alot of swirls
