considering just how many fits there on in the US that are modified to the extent of most on here. The spread on the RSes isn't very wide. And i know there are more than 5 or 6. Or at least there were. I know a few guys got tired of them and moved on.

I don't see what problems people have with polished steelies. They're cheap and look great. If you don't care about weight (which you wouldn't if you had bbs's) then they're good.

Looks good, Adam. The older Cressidas just have more potential, IMO.

And my bad, I was under the impression the bbs's were pretty heavy.

Left work yesterday around 6pm and on the highway I ran into a blown Semi-truck tire. I didn't think much of it and didn't think there would be much damage except for maybe a couple of scuffs. Got home and checked it out and here's the damage.



Half my lip and other splitter is missing, bumper is caved in, radiator support and radiator seem to be mashed in as well, hood isn't lining up or closing properly, and the fender liner is hanging. I'm thinking of letting insurance take care of this, pay the deductible and get a jdm front. Anybody have any idea where to order the front?

Eff' you blown semi tire! I swear texas highways always has tons of debris on the road.

I hit one of those damned things on I35 between Temple and Waco in 2006 when my car was brand new and parts were scarce.... It was a couple of months and 2 Gs to get it squared away, much worse damage than you have.... My car was at the stock height at the time also..... Check the full length of the underside of your car because there was a lot of damage and parts that needed replacing on mine.

i don't think my chances of wheels getting stolen is any worse than texas. I've never had a car broken into until i moved to waco.

And I just had to take the wheels off actually. Got a good bend in two lips on the passenger side. I had myself and 3 friends in the car and i hit something doing like 30 and totaled two lips. Gonna have to source new lips. I was pretty angry. But oh well.

Man that sux! I got in the way of a Chevy Trailblazer, and my bumper doesn't look that bad... It did motivate me to go ahead and start my base to sport conversion so I can eventually have my Mugen Fit! The new sport bumper is @ the shop for paint. I should have it by the weekend! Then I get to have the fun of installing the bumper, fogs, harness, relay, and combo switch!

I have often considered going to a base model front end on my GD and the JDM setup is even more appealing. Theses cars are too low for practical use as they come from the factory .... I scraped my resonator on the Megan B pipe just yesterday.
