Definitely cause I didn't want someone's beater or abused or abused then turned stock vehicle. I just didn't want the headache of that. So glad I never settled. I thought an 04 would be nice but man there is like none out there for sale with that low of miles lol.

Finally finished painting my taillights and put them back together. Will get pictures tomorrow. Also baked my Headlights to black them out also. Very easy even though I was a total wreck. So I figure by next week the headlights will be done and back on the car.... Spring time can not come soon enough.

The new updated tail lights. Already love the look and can't wait to see them in the sun light.

Installed the mini battery and did it free up so much space. Im loving it but then it made me see the transmission lines and making we want the SS lines for it haha. My new side marker lights. Going to be working on the car on tuesday probably doing a oil change, AC delete and trying to fix the headlight since it wont move when I turn the leveler in car. Frustrating.

Thanks I will definitely need help. Im. Aiming for july but realistically I'm expecting september or october some time...

Good advice. I test drove a couple....if you aren't a perfectionist you can get screwed quite easily.

I'm torn between a few things I'm not sure if I want an 05 or an 06. I want the acd for rain and gravel conditions. I want a sunroof but no leather.... I also want mivec but I like viii's front end and ix's rear end lol. Bone stock, of course. I'm not against getting an X but....id always have that feeling looming over me...like I sacraficed performance for heated seats and a little refinement in technology. : \

Thanks Man. I have a good base plan and only buying parts once so if i don't have the money then it waits. For example I'm not going to buy 4 different sets of injectors. Ill just buy the 2150 and call it done. Lol. Building motor before i even get a new turbo just to be safe to. All in time though.

O I am. This week it will love me more when I give her a new IC, LICP, Uicp, and BOV. Then at the end of february probably she will get an exhaust.

Sorry for no updates. I ordered a bunch of parts and they are getting powder coated so Ill get some pics when I get them. I also got the lower hvac cubby and a double din but they aren't installed yet. Thanks for all the compliments and its killing me not driving it but I know that its for the best right now.
