As for that front bumper Kevin, its photoshop.

Rep Power: 331 Damn that fvcking sux man, that bumper looks like a chop but they do make a M3 bumber thats very similar.
To answer reds question (ill leave the dumb flux capacitor comment alone) that sounde like either the springs not seated well or you have a bad CV joint.

Rep Power: 374 Damn, at least ins. is covering it considering it is a defect. Didnt they recall those damn struts? Ive been to honda 3 times to replace all struts cause they keep blowing. I had it last fall and bought some B and G's. Good luck bro.

Honda did a recall on struts, they did not do a recall on control arms.

current plans are this:
stock front bumper
CF LIP
CF HOOD
cleared stock headlight
stock fender
stock door
stock side view mirror
VOLK GRAM LIGHT 57pro gunmetal wheels
some rubber for those wheels
TEIN SS coilovers
DRIVESHAFT SHOP stage 1 AXLES
drilled and slotted rotors, stock size, if possible to find
and then labor to paint
!!!!this is just the stuff to repair the damage from the accident...nothing more!!!!!
now this is what goes above and beyond with the left overs:
my CROWER RODS that are in my room..installed
ERL Sleeved block
gaskets
bearings
ARP head studs....might be custom, dont know yet
COMETIC headgasket....custom..bc they dont have a listing for it
of course i already have the JE pistons
!!!!!!now that should take most of the $$$ right there!!!!
anything left, will go into the head
o crap i forgot about the plastic intake manifold, heck if i get all that stuff for the bottom end, ill have to have something other than stock on a IM
