i dont understand why you say aftermarket parts will be more work? i mean you already are basically rebuilding your car lol it cant be that much more work. specially if you get 100% fitment parts from vendors like klumyzee
i dont have tools or ability to mess around with sanding, priming, possibly layering some fiberglass so i will stay away from the body kit for now...

I almost wish somebody would reverse into me so I could have an excuse to get an aftermarket bumper lol. Not really I guess...

But regardless of what route you're taking, I think the car is looking great and especially with how fast you turned it around, I am very impressed. Hopefully the car treats you well and you don't have any additional problems with it once the necessary repairs are taken care of.

Oh man, the mod bug has def hit me, it is my current budget situation which didn't allow me to go through with more mods. I have a list of things which are going to be bought one by one as i make some money... As for the stock parts, it is always good to have those handy just in case,so i will not regret buying these stock parts for now, i might have a small loss but i need the car on the road and i dont have enough time to wait until i can get the body kit...

as for the car, yesterday i had some free time and a good friend of mine has a towing truck, i wish i took some pictures, but i ran the car on a small track(private property) and i was impressed, other than my airbag light nothing came up, i do need to get some better tires than my yokohamas...

The tail lights which were on the car do not even have a scratch on them, i had them off because the rear bumper was being replaced...

does anyone know a place/someone who is selling a drivers side fender? or passenger seat belt with the retractor? Maybe dash?
- those three things are the last pieces to the puzzle, after which the car is headed to the paint shop...

Thanks man, it can be a lot of work, and frustration at times but once you get a hang of it most of the things become rather easy... I am working on a side project for my buddy and installing a new turbo on his MR2-> pain in the a$$!
