Is my battery going dead I think so please help because if so I need to buy a new one tomorrow
If it turns and turns but doesn't start then it's your starter. If you hear clicking and no turning then it's your battery. If you hear nothing, then it can be the battery or a few other things.

Either way, check the battery to see if that is it. If it isn't your battery, bring your car to a shop.

Plasti Dip

I was thinking about Plasti Dipping my whole car to a gloss white or red color. Has anyone try this and how many cans of plasti dip would I need?

It's been done before, we have members here who have done their whole cars. Don't do it using spray cans though, try:

Sorry, about I really was not able to find it yet. Can I access it without lifting the car? I don't know what to look for. I looked at a picture of the underbody but was not able to figure it out.

Will an 05-06 stock Sedan bumper fit an 03 Sedan?

^I went through the same thing when I first got mine.
You learn to love the 03/04 though because in the long run there are more aftermarket options and usually a little cheaper.
