I prefer the 2nd to last since the light flares are all fuxed up in the last one. But thanks man, I really appreciate the encouragement. I had a raging headache all night, so I wasn't too enthusiastic about sticking with things and getting a ton of pics to work with, so I just played with what I did manage to get.

I am still interested in your offer about buying you some beers and picking your brain about taking better pics. These cars keep me on a pretty meager budget anymore, but I should have a little cash after i get back from vacation in 2 weeks.

As I told you before Steve, im not a fan of Sol's. I loved the gunmetal hatch!

well.... I am. :biggrin:

What can I say, the car just doesn't feel like a civic. I mean, its the same motor, same suspension, all the same parts, but when you get in and drive it, the whole layout of car is completely different... the cener console, gauges, door panels, shifter position, seats and seat position. That is what I love about these cars (well, and the power rear window/targa-top). I have said it to several people, but after driving this car I feel spoiled... I don't know if I could really be happy in an econobox civic again.

plus, the hatch had a lot of problems while I had it... I put in a year with that car and I did what I could with it before I was just completely burnt out on it. Appearance wise, it was just a set of conservative wheels and a lip. I actually wasn't too happy with the way that car sat; sure there were times when I looked at it and said 'man, that's an impressive looking car'... but for the most part, I was bored with it... had I not gotten rid of it it would have undergone a lot of changes to put it more where I wanted it
