this is what she looked like the day i got her...

i wasn't a big fan of the body kit so i went with and R front bumper and XC70 rear bumper with dual exhaust and left the sides. i also did full amber corner lights and swaped from Canistos to Nebula wheels....

Good work nuking the rear bumper/skirt. That looks like something off of a stealth Navy Seals landing craft.

I'd have kept the wheels tho

. Great two-tone paint.

Nice, Once I get my interior done. which hopefully im taking a MAJOR step this weekend towards that. *do it yourself headliner*
btw, can anyone point me in the right direction as to removing the trim... like the handles, and lights. the dome light I know just pops out. ive had that part out a few times.
Ill post a full photo entry of my car. interior exterior, engine area.
Ive got a few small secret

projects up my sleeve id like to revile soon. so i need to finish this overhaul.

Phils, I would be afraid to pressure wash my engine bay.

. although I would love to.
Any tips?

honestly i dont see whats the big deal about it ?? if peeps are that worried id take a plastic bag and wrap around the dizzy and any exposed electronics and go for it. Like i said, ive done ALOT of cars and only had problems with one. I dont stay in one place very long with the press. washer i keep it moving around the engine bay so it doesnt saturate anything. The only place id worry about is under the spark cover so the plug holes dont fill with water.

I hate working on a dirty greasy car, first thing i do when i buy one is give her a good press. wash. It helps ALOT incase you have some leaks or anything.

The catch is, to let it sit and dry for awhile before driving, Id say do it late in the afternoon when you have no place else to go and let it sit allnight and you should be good.

Nice, and people dont want to flood things with water that are ment to stay dry lol.

Mines pretty clean anyways, I try to keep it like that.

Bleh I need to get this stuff done on my car, but only time i actually have to rip a headliner out is during the weekend.
