If I don't end up putting it in ill sell it...so by the looks of your pics I'm going to say that my carpet is from a manual transmission?





Obvious sign of to get rid of that auto

If you decide to sell, then I might be interested.

Yeah I think I'll cut out that section and keep it, if it gets too annoying, I'll splice it under the seat and just replace the front drivers carpet area. Ooor find some black oem manual carpet and instal that 😄

Sold it, after 15 years and 120,000 fun, reliable miles.
The test drive was me driving it, doing a burnout for about 75 feet...

It's so tough to keep this car sometimes. I spent a lot of time on the suspension, and when we dropped the car off the jack stands....

Since there wasn't much interest in my rims or air suspension I decided to install them today to hopefully inspire interest in the parts.

The Freshly painted front lip on my car fell off on the highway at 75 mph and got ripped to shreds promptly by my tires on a 300 mile trip.

That was the third and final front lip I will ever purchase. Gonna find an AC Shine front end sometime in fall and go that way and get rid of my 97+ front. It's worn out it's welcome, and I think an AC Shine front will utlimately be cheaper, less maintenance, and less worry.

I don't think I hit anything because there was nothing on the road, but obviously when the lip fell, it felt like I hit something because I ran it over and shredded it to bits. Luckily my tires were fine since I was only about 50 miles in to the trip. Otherwise I would've been doubly pissed. No clue why it fell off at all as it was freshly mounted and installed, and I even checked on the mounting bolts two days ago and they were all perfectly tight. Luckily I got the lip used off the CL classifieds and not new, because they run upwards of $700 new and I didn't want to go through buying that again, and definitely don't want to go through that now.

Took this on the side of the highway, didn't even want to drive back to look at the carnage, but the lip just shredded into pieces all over the highway. I was fuming mad for about 14 seconds.

eknine9, that sucks about the front lip. The same exact thing happened to my friend's vertex lip.
