  • 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?

                    • 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.

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