    Got some new parts to play with. I think I am going to have to cut the arm rest to get it to fit around the mouse belt housing.

    Here are the old crusty window sills

    This is how busted my original RT4WD moldings were. When I took the old moldings off, I found that the previous owner used roofing tar and sheetrock screws to try and hold the busted moldings on... fun.

    I posted a Wanted ad here and unlimited02 got back to me pretty quickly. He sent me out a complete set of RT4WD moldings that look really nice. They are in great shape for their age and the decals look good too. Pretty easy install!

    My wipers were all oxidized and most of the paint faded off. I got a can of Rustoleum Pro Flat Black and they fixed right up.

    You are gonna wanna take those metal dust shield caps out. they get all smashed up and your car ends up riding on the cap more then the spring and shock. Plus if you wanna go lower those caps will prevent your car from going low and ruin the ride quality. I know from experience.

    What metal caps are you talking about? The cap around the top of the strut?
    I don't want to go any lower... the ride quality is already too bouncy. I am thinking about getting taller springs.
