Okay,so..I got off the phone with Itchy and tried to put on my ViS Racing Z3 Fenders...and guess what happens?90% of the nuts and bolts holding all the stock crap on...what?...what do you say?..YEA.. ****ING BREAKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So.. now,my girl have to give me a ride to work tomorrow because I didn't have enough time to run to the hardware store and buy all new ****ing bolts,but, I also need to buy a hacksaw and a friggin metal drillbit. Lucky me. Stupid Toyota and there crappy assed bolts. *sigh*
Okay,so..here goes.. my car has no lights on it right now, no fenders,no front bumper and is only covered by a friggin tarp. also.. I won't even be able to get to the car til after work tomorrow at 6...I am getting close to being a bastard and buying a GT-S. :-( --------------------  |

get some reverse drill bits, then put the drill in reverse and the stem of the bolt which broke off in the thing should come right out. a couple of mine have broken also. good luck and sorry to here bout the delay.

sometimes its just best to leave things alone. Most kits on any car starts to look cheesy after a little while from just a little wear and tear from driving.

thats what scares me into leaving my car stock. If I did customize it I would be too affraid to drive it. I would become like one of those old farts with the old classic cars that only drives every blue moon. |

Nah...I drive my car aggressively with a bodykit on it and haven't had any problems...You just have to be a little bit more alert when it comes to bumping into things.

yep...i was extra careful with everything and i mean EVERYTHING....after my sis hit i stopped caring...but now i got curren spoiler on...soon my rear extensions, stock sides and 404a lip with a new color(silverstone metallic) maybe new rims...in a way im happy my vader front got trashed...i feel that my new idea will show the celicas curves better than the vader(no offense to the guys with the invader front) i just feel that my tastes have changed
AND ALSO with anything aftermarket...expect it not to fit right...if its not OEM you are running the high risk of something not fitting right ESPECIALLY BODYKITS!!!!!!!!!! This post has been edited by fastgt: Jul 19, 2004 - 10:03 PM -------------------- 2011 Spice Orange Mini Cooper
