paint looks mint, I'd put your timing cover on though for a daily driver. don't want crap getting down in there and decreasing the life of your belt :wink:

- Sun Jun 22, 2008 5:23 pm #59352 yup ill put it in again next week when i get my vtec head on,thanks for the comments and about the truck wheels i just want to change on some other styles,like every hatch i see is with si's,,fat 5's ,rotas, i just want something different it does look big but not bad ,well thats in my opinion and im not saying they dont look great with si's or other rims i love them like that, but i just want a litle change :D ,anyways thx for the comment maybe next summer ill get some blades on my hands :twisted:
