I don't have any new pictures of the diffuser..but here's a picture with a carbon fiber hood on it before the car got stolen.

Stolen?!?!?!
^ as above...
USA..... stolen...... whats new lol
Yeah, it got stolen November 2008, then it got stolen again December 2008 and that's when the carbon fiber hood was on (for a week). Then my friends hatch got stolen in February 2009 and my coupe got stolen February 2009 right after my friends. Didn't get my coupe back but the hatch keeps making it back :)Quote:

Well when it got stolen the first two times we lived at this one crappy apartment..ok it wasn't super crappy but crappy enough for the car to get stolen. My car got stolen from there as well and then our friends hatch got stolen from his driveway. We live in another complex now and have for about a year and half and the cars haven't been messed with. I think it's cause there are nicer cars here. 1-2 s2000's, a few four doors, a hatch, there use to be a mugen fit and an EF wagon. I'm hoping in a year or so we can move into a house.
I've read about some really nice cars getting stolen. Is it most commonly for parts or people just joyriding?
Are you going to have a go at fixing your passenger side front quarter panel?
I'm actually going to replace both fenders, hood and bumpers....eventually lol. My friend owns a parts shop so I can get pretty good prices on parts that I want. But right now I've gotta order my master cylinder, ac belt, dryer receiver and then if I have money left over I'm going to get the registration.
I have some questions about your priorities... :DQuote:

It'll buff out.
Seriously that's just wrong. No note or anything?
Also where's your steering wheel? Removable or did it get stolen?
No note, nothing..I'm pissed. My steering wheels are inside the house..I remove them since we live in a complex.
I'd be a lot more than pissed if I came out and saw that.
(*insert encouraging comment here*)
yeah, I started crying a bit and then got really pissed..Cops came out and did a report and we reported it to insurance..I told the boyfriend that we are moving..I'm tired of the girls being parked outside.
You could just give the corner near the headlight a bit of a tap and it would look loads better in my opinion.Quote:

Got a check from insurance today when I went in to get the estimate..going to try to pick up a door and hood sometime next week and then ordering my fenders and then going to get a new bumper and probably get the front end of the car painted..maybe..we'll see
That was pretty quick :)
Yeah it was..I'm happy. We had to pop the dent out a bit so I can drive the car with the window down and not die...lol no ac ftl
Haha yeah I need my a/c. I'm not hardcore enough.
I'm not either considering it's been like 104 here everyday plus humidity >.<. Plus my car is going to stay a daily so definitely need ac

Damn that's a bit warm, I'm struggling not to turn it on once we hit the high 20s (80-85F or so and up)
can't say I've heard of an insurance company that quick ever.Quote:

yeah..they said if they work on it and can't find the parts through Honda that the car would be a total loss and if we worked on it and wanted to keep it, they would just pay us out. So that's what we did because one, I don't want some random shop working on my car and two, I can find the parts cheaper.
I just love when insurance company just go: "Here's the money. Piss off!"Quote:

Going to go pick those up in a town that's 4 hours away from us. So I'm looking at a 9 hour road trip and we are leaving Saturday at 6pm so looks like an all nighter almost for me lol.
Road trip FTW!
Take some snacks and crank up the stereo!
haha I plan on it..Plus I plan on bringing the canon so I can snap some shots along the way =]
Lol Nikon ftw! Lol if you go near GWBs ranch take a photo for us lol
Olympus :)
they must be cheap!Quote:

But I figure they'll do for now and when I find OEM bumpers I'll get them and the bf can have the non-oem one for his car.Quote:

I know a store for genuine but it''s cost a lot more than 130 for the pair, closer to 500.Quote:

Ain't nothing wrong with Olympus. Or most any of the brands really. Here's some from my Olympus which I love (and I wouldn't even call myself amateur status yet, not good enough for that).

No tripod FML (I have bought one since):

Yea, bf told me to chill out about the bumpers..I can always find oem ones later if I want lolQuote:

Anyway, I'm back from Dallas and have my door and hood. They are clean! Can't wait to put them on and paint the car.
Hhhmmmm not so sure about where this colour scheme is going...
It's not going anywhere..I'm getting both painted..It's hard as hell to find a door and hood in teal to match my car.
Today is going to be AWESOME! I'm picking up my nose mask soon =] and my friend is coming by to let me borrow his nikon so I can determine which I like better. I use to use Nikon's all the time when I was working for a photographer, but it's been awhile. Need to refresh.
hey dumptdaily, the only problem with your door is red always shows up under green, so if you get it painted, and get one small scratch it will be noticble, i had the same problem when i painted red panels white, when they where scratched, or chipped, they'd show bright red.
There's no problem because my door is going to be striped down and I'm sanding all the red off and then painting it. So if it does get scratched or chipped, it won't be red.
well if you plan on sanding it down, you will be there forever. "take it from a painters profession" if you sand blast it, then niki, undercoat, then paint and clear. your all good. anyway if you need any help... we are all here 2 help.Quote:

Our dollar might be stronger but stuff is still cheaper over there.

I thought so, just thought maybe you got a sweet deal somewhere. I bought mine as a full kit too.Quote:
