Probably cheaper to make. But there won't be anything left that's not black. I'm wrapping the rear deck and headliner in suede. And already painted the pillars.

It was easy swapping the pieces. It just takes a while to find everything. I've spend maybe 300 on the pieces and then the rear seats.

"de-ricing" my new purchase lol step one taking off and replacing all the crappy painted parts in the interior with stock trim parts, ordered a new quieter exhaust setup, and bought new stock headlights to replace the cheapo ones that were installed.

Washed it.. Only to have it rain 45 minutes later.. The worst luck


Also question: would a ss 2.4 front fascia hang lower than ls side skirts? I'd like to get just the fascia and not the lip but don't want it to look awkward

Don't know how else to explain it, the front fascia on the 2.4 Sport models. The SS fascia without the sc/tc lip. Will it hang noticeably lower than my base model side skirts?

Are you talking about the bumper because the 2.4 doesn't have anything on the bumper.

I decided I didn't need valve lash adjusters on the exhaust-side of cylinder #2 in my LNF so I snapped them off, good times.

He's asking not about the lip on the sport bumper but how low does it hang. He want's to put the sport bumper on a base model and not put on side skirts and is asking if that'll look bad or not.

I love the look of an Imperial Blue Metallic balt.

Well it would have been easier to understand if he said bumper instead of fascia because a fascia is the ss lip/valance.

What I've always been told

The fascia is the painted part of the body which surrounds the headlights, grill, etc.

The bumper is the metal bar that's hidden behind the fascia, and helps to absorb the impact in a collision.

Well that's what I've always called it and seen others call it but oh well. But if you get the front and rear sport bumpers it might now look too bad.
