`looking good man

[boostjunkie95]

so i pulled out of my drve way and busted my bumper up where it bolts to the fender on the inside. i dont want to buy a new bumper and have it painted. i was looking for any ideas for a quick fix please...

highway-star and sean@NDF, i noticed you both have those clips on the outside of your bumper, can those be used as a means of holding on the bumper without bolting the bumper on to the fender underneath? also where might i find them? i looked online but i didnt really know what i was searching for and couldnt find them.

thanks

I think they are Dzus(spelling?) quick release bumper fasteners. Hopefully if im wrong one of those guys will chime in and help out.

Dzus. Yup

I think summit has them.

well the other day my car started getting a real loud exhaust sounds. like there was a leak of hole in my muffler. so i checked it out and wouldnt you know, i found a hole in my muffler, but it was a much larger hole the what i was expecting haha so i need a new exhaust. can anyone help me out?

here is what i found when i looked around...haha
seems like my car is starting to fall apart on me, might be a good excuse to change it up and get something new ;-)

[Jams_ek]

thats a big ass hole!!!!

Well i ordered a new n1 style exhaust so that i can replace my extremely old apexi that finally shit the bed. Didnt get a legit apexi this time, i'm planning on getting rid on my car for something new in a few months and didnt feel like putting a whole lot of money into it right now.
(Jams_ek, thanks for the offer of the Tanabe, but it just wasnt really what i was looking for)

Found some random pics today when i was going through some pictures from over the summer. thought i'd post them up for fun

Out at camp...probably shouldnt have drove my car down the road to get to camp but i was drunk haha

man that was pretty rough... nice recovery

[ap_red97ek]

just a couple updates..not all good either

installed my new exhaust saturday. nice and quite just like i wanted. unfortuantly this morning my sister decided that she wasnt going to look behind her when she puled out of the garage and back right into the front end of my car scuffed the paint pretty good and bent the impact bar and rad support a little. also busted the paint a little under the driver side headlight. honestly i wish she would have busted a headlight so i could get some new ones but oh well.

so i'm not sure who's gong to pay for what but im just looking to get a new bumper cover and impact bar, and then have it fix and repainted

Anyone know much about wheel spacers? i was wanting to space my wheels out a little but im not sure how much is good. i want to be about flush with the fenders. also i was wondering if i have to get extended wheel studs in order to have spacers?

I have 16x7 buddy club wheels with 205/45/r16's i believe, if that helps with anyones opinions or suggestions

thanks

Here is how my car sits as of right now heres is a head on shot

depends on the size of the spacers.
they dont look that great if you dont have a wide will with a funky offset. if you just push the wheels out it makes it look weird. i was debating it myself. but im trying to find a diff set of wheels now.

just measure from your tire to your fender and use this: 1 inch = 25.4 millimeters
