I don't know if anyone makes a replica OEM coupe lip. I'm assuming you plan to do the same thing as Chris.

Are the 18" sport sedan wheels (coupe 19" style) forged? Were they made by Rays?

Oh really they make them OEM? and Poly?

Thinking about it since I opened a brand new tube of epoxy yesterday. Would hate to waste it and not mold something with the rest of the product.

I have tried everything from using my compressor with the blower, didnt work. I tried using heat, didnt work. Any advice?
Because Bondo / filler is not made to be built up like that. I know everyone does it but its the not the right product.

You try lacquer thinner to get the plasti dip off? Let it soak for a few.

Thanks. Had been asked through my Ebay listing. I had searched and searched and I kept getting lead to forged 19" coupe threads.

Hey guys, update on my recent troubles.

Something is wrong with my camshaft and crankshaft position sensors. Code p03040.
I installed a plenum spacer about 3 weeks ago, could this have caused these problems?
Does anyone know the part number for these sensors?
