Dude, that sucks. It really takes the wind out of your sails. I didn't even get to take a pic I was in such a rush to get to work. I'm debating on getting a new one, but I don't know if I could deal with the heartbreak again lol

put a full tank of gas, put on only the front Daizen sway bar i picked up. Was going to put the rears on but ran out of time =\ Will put the rears on tomorrow and do an oil change. All I can say from just the fronts is WOW. i enjoy the ride now even more since i can take turns and not rub. hopefully the rears make as much difference as the fronts.

UGO roof spoilers are my favorite. Too bad they're so hard to come by

Love your car BTW, very clean

Thaks! While the UGO is discontinued, you can get a replica on ebay. I'm pretty sure somebody is selling a new authentic UGO on my.IS right now.
