Playa is right -- those pics really are painful to look at! As to your question, I'm guessing that we have pyrotechnic pretentioners on the seatbelts. Once activated, it needs to be replaced.

Ouch! That looks like a hard hit! I'm glad you're OK.

I'm pretty sure that will NOT buff out!

There's so many little things in that car you could sell. Wish I could get your 6X9 speakers in the lower front doors.

If its an 02 I almost guarantee that its a total loss. But not to be a bad guy, but I don't think you're gonna get a whole lot for your headlights now..

Sorry for the loss...

Welcome to CL, Nick

You will need:
10mm socket and ratchet
screwdriver

The tails come in 2 parts, top and bottom. top is (2) 10mm nuts.

The lower part takes a little more work involving removing trunk pieces. I've done it around 6-7 times for various members and it isnt too bad.

The light itself is only (1) 10 mm bolt. just have to remove the cap covering it.

A Cl member is coming up to have the tails installed and maybe he'll bring a camera and we'll take some pics.

Sorry to hear that but atleast it means you should be able to get an 06 or newer. You are going to love the new dash!

that's actually a pretty good price. it's more than most 2002s are going for. did they give you extra for the wheels?
