Welcome. Now go take a look at the member Nightsharks car, and start modding from there!!!

I just sold a body kit like that, the Zekon Blitz style. Just a curious question, but where did you buy it at? I originally got mine off of Ebay, but they were sold on what I remember as Zekon.com, but it is no longer a working site. Do they still make these things?

Yeah I dont really know anything about the kit to tell you the thruth. I got it when I bought my car 2 years ago. I tried to contact the guy that I bought it off to see if he knew how much he got it for, but he takes awhile to get back to me.

Mine is in terrible shape...the pictures I took hide the spider cracks and paint chips.

Also, anyone have a problems with buying rims for a 98? Thier are bolts inbetween the lug nut posts so I cant fit multi pattern rims on my car and thats all I can find for a cheap price.

You're one of the unlucky few to have "Captive Rotors". You can find wheels that have empty space where those nasty captive nuts are, but you really should just do the swap.

Use that term, and use the search feature here on the site, and you'll have to digest a TON of info about it. In short, if you ever need to replace your rotors, with some sexy ones like these for example: CLICK ME! Then you'll need to convert to NON Captive rotors, and there's plenty of info about how to do it. I've done it on 3 tibs myself, not rocket science at all!

I used to have that bumper on my 2000, and man was it low! Check out some of the other available bumpers if it finally falls apart like mine did smile.gif

Yeah this kit is to low for PA.

Funny story.......no not really funny, but they were doing construction around my house on the roads to repave it. Before they repave they dig up the old road leaving a gap between the old road and the dug up road....well 2 weeks ago I was going around 15mph thinking I was able to clear the gap. I thought wrong, I smashed it going 15, cracked my kit on both sides and dented the metal right behind the blinkers on my left side. I fixed it as good as I could, if you look at one of my pictured you can see the crack on the left side of the kit, but you cant see the dent because of the angle I took the picture. The next car I get, I am only either raising my car 2 inches with a kit or just getting a lip kit. Body kits blow to keep them nice......................

yup, on a car with options, unlike ours, my personal fav is OEM bumpers with CF lip kits and a nice matching CF hood/hatch combo. Clean and upgraded, but strong as OEM on all the parts that would normally crack or break in a similar case as what happened with yours.
