It's just a bumper panel there.
I'm wishing for nicer weather for pictures of this thing and some ability to go over it with a fine toothed comb and make it awesomer. But I am LOVING this car in the snow. It handles so well with the trac control, but it's a blast to whip it around in parking lots. The Trac and ECT are like "joy buttons" and the weight keeps it glued to the ground.

why are you going to race this family class car. Stupid if you ask me, clean the car due up the interior and paint the whole a single color and get some clean wheels...These cars arent meant to race or destroy in that fashion (autocross)...Go buy a 240 or a honda at that...

When I get the funds together to do the body work and repaint, I'd keep it the same colors, too.

So a quick update...
Replaced the headunit with a more usable one (ie, has aux in and reads mp3) and I've got to wire in the subwoofer in the trunk.
I am ridding the car of its former system... took the amp out, sub was gone already, gonna pop out the disc changer.
I was contemplating the removal of wiring that goes through the rear wall to the amp/changer so I could slide new stuff in there, but didn't want to cut anything important. Is this a good idea? I really don't care about ever hooking up the old crap again.
Otherwise, I'd have to drill a hole or 2 in the wall (next to/behind the seat and NOT into the gas tank).
And does anyone have a suggestion on the best way to get the 12v wire through the firewall with the greatest of ease and NOT involving a drill?
