    Would anyone recommend buying a Glowshift wideband? They are running a 25% off sale right now which puts it a 130. I have had nothing but luck with all of their gauges but I have heard not to skimp out on a wideband. Although my car is already tuned id like to see where its at a/f wise.

    Yeah, my car spidered in the front shortly after having it repainted, thankfully it doesnt show too much. The rear was spidered much worse however and that hasnt returned.

    I would guess the panel has been bent. Front bumpers usually from scraping or running something over, rears are probably from people leaning or resting something on it.

    The paint is cracked. Typically you'll only see it on plastic parts.

    Kinda what i thought. I was honestly surprised that bumper survived 500k miles with only minor blemishes... Seems like people curb them all the time.

    Did you also get the front bumper Michael? I figured it might be "borderline" condition for bringing it back to life.
    I found a used one that is in okay shape, it has some dents in it but I think I'm going to hold out. It's only $40 tho.... it's a toss up. No, I'll be ditching the homemade lid

    I thought about grabbing the bumper and stripping it. It has some spider cracks which even when you strip it, sometimes the spider cracks come back. Not a risk I wanted to take. I still might pick it up and give it a shot if I can get it for the right price.

    Is that center console lid wrapped in leather? Looks like a nice touch.

    Ahhhh I see. I was thinking headlight switch... I know there is one open hole and one is close. Ill have to look and ill get back to you.


    Edit: Another thing to do on my todo list is the coolant tb bypass. I have heard it is actually good for a few ponies.

    Yes! I didn't think some 500,000 mile parts would be so clean/good condition. (well besides the actual dirt/grime lol)


    Edit:
    Although its not that big of a deal, where could I find a 6 speed sticker to put over the T5 sticker on the upper console?
