Saw your car on Soarer Central as well - she's looking good.

Also anybody know if these are aftermarket sideskirts on my car or if they are just factory off a soarer?
They are OEM. Fitted on late '96 and newer cars.

Oh and just hope you don't get in an accident in WA with BC plates, insurance might tear you a new one!
Hope you don't get in an accident in canada either because ICBC is pretty much writing every RHD car off. I know someone who has an R32 that someone attempted to break into with a screwdriver in the door locks and ICBC wrote off the car and gave him money for it.

This is true....

However i talked to them and if i get in a wreck or even a dent by somebody it gets written off and has a salvaged title... but i get 11,000 dollars... i can also buy it back from them for 1400 dollars... so long as the damage isn't extensive i wont be to upset.

out of curiosity what is wrong with air suspension?

Not that im planning on trying it just curious is all.

also to the op---your soarer is very nice--i really like it.

one thing --i would say its best to leave your paint as is ------purple is just not that nice of a color imo

thanks for sharing and i really like your car--good luck

Ok well they make a air ride kinda chamber but its a disk that slides up and down and locks in place on your coilovers but its like 3000 gives the effects of air ride but not the bad handling etc. Also thanks for the comments guys and I'm debating about the paint bc got keyed and somebody put tape on my car and pulled off a 8 inch strip of clear coat
