cause were swapping them from a donor car (a coupe) which is at my gf's house, so i need her bro's tools and such. took just under an hour to swap the fronts. plus, as we swap, we have to put my stock springs onto the other car, which is the biggest pain in the ***

yeah, thats right....no more ricer spoiler + antenna




next mod (when i get the money) lsd!!! i got stuck today and had to push my car because one of my rear tires was in the air so i couldnt move

looks alot better with those new wheels and drop. try a product called "goof off" not to be confused with "goo gone". goof off is very very strong and very caustic, so wear some gloves and work outside we just used a hammer to roll my fenders

I love that antenna, but i agree the tires are pretty much the same size as the ones people put on wranglers.. or pretty close. sell them for some 45/50 series.. itll look all the much better.

where can i get goo gone? ill try to get some tomorrow while im out. thanks yuta, id consider new tires, but i need to keep learnin to drive it low and get an alignment like jspaeth said lol but theres close to no diff with the antenna. i didnt hook part of it up, so that may be the cause haha but i dont listen to the radio to much so it doesnt matter that much. im not going to worry about the tires since im planning on possible 5 lug by fall and it looks better in person.

thanks for all your replies!

Try some bug and tar remover from any auto parts store, may take 10 tries, but it works.

Also, resteraunt grade degreaser kicks ***. Let it sit for 30 seconds, it wipes off.
