Just looking at the 4lug pads makes me want to chuck them. They are seriously like 2" shorter than a normal 5 lug pad and .25" less (maybe more) contacts the rotor.wickedgoodneon wrote:they make a set of ebc greens that fit, doug has a set
It's ridiculous. I'm going to figure out how to solve this lol.
Clutch is in and everything works! I guess that's good being that it was my first clutch job ever

Updates. The previous owner must have had something strapped to the roof at one time or another because I had a bunch of scratches every which way and rock chips down to the metal, which started to rust.
Upon taking the door moulding off the door tops, I found even MORE rust. I cleaned it all up and did a quick and dirty two tone job. I'll need to sand out some runners but it'll do for this winter, hopefully the rust won't come back.
I also painted the fog bumper to match the base model rear.

(tee hee)
Will get more pics tomorrow, was definitely dark when I was installing the bumper.
Thoughts on "base model" fog bumper?

The hood I might do (the clear has been peeling off for a while). The trunk...eh... dunno, might look weird because of where I split the black on the C pillar.INVUJerry wrote:Looks alright I suppose. I'd paint the hood and the trunk black to keep the two tone going. I kind of like it.

Hmmmmmmm. I hadn't thought about it like that. Well, we'll see after the winter. I just had to do something about the rust so it wouldn't get worse lol.roysneon wrote:The front bumper is really a neat idea. I do have to say that three colours is too much imo. Two tone works though.

LOVE the roof, the 2 tone works great with the body line of the car from the windows up. But I would still paint the bumpers to match the main body.
I was thinking of trying something close to this on my old PGS car to "cure" the peeling paint problem on the roof before I unloaded it.

I was psyched when I saw that line on the 1g neon, the 2nd gen is more rounded there. It's the perfect line to do a 2 tone lol.metal_gear_jon wrote:LOVE the roof, the 2 tone works great with the body line of the car from the windows up. But I would still paint the bumpers to match the main body.
