    Hey, BUSTIVA! Someone stole your car and stripped it!

    Seriously though, I like the flat black look (on the East coast, it's known as "Jersey Suede"). Are you going to keep it like that?

              Is there any particular reason you chose Monroe's over KYB's?

                    are they just as stiff as the kyb ones?

                      Not sure I never had any KYB's but I bought Monroes for an Aspire and I like them. They were cheaper and the waranty made them good enough for me. Im cheap!!

                        Thanks, it had a ton of orange peel on it, and would have taken a ton of wet sanding to get it to look decent, and I didn't feel like wetsanding that much.. lol

                          How much did the monroes run you? I just ordered a set of kyb's on ebay that seemed like a good deal.

                            wow, I'm just not even sure what to say... such an unexpecting change.

                            but, I know I like it!!

                            ps, what are you going to do with your front bumper, now that you painted half of it white?

                              Thanks Josh, I'll just sand the white off and paint it all black again probably..
