I hate watching people buy them just to part out, plus I feel building and working on your car yourself gives you more value/respect for it.

Great save man, never had faith in a "salvage title" but you're looks perfect! What did it look like before you got a hold of it?

The guy before me ran it into a cement median head-on on the interstate and bent the frame, set off the airbags, etc. He also took a bunch of random trim and parts out of it. It didn't look to horrible but the fact I had to replace fuses and items that he had randomly not cared about made it a bigger pain.

I was thinking if anything something like an rk sport with just the slight scoop might not be bad, something I could paint (not huge on carbon fiber)
