Poor 4th gen. I hate how these cars are being treated. I too have seen a few 35th Anny running around that are just trashed. Those cars are going to be worth a mint in the future, if there are any still around, lol.

It's getting there, it really doesn't need much. A good engine bay detail, paint work and wheel work would make it perfect. I can't believe I am having to "restore" a 50k mile 35th anniversary car.

Some ******* at work stole the car Friday and was beating the **** out of it, now my check engine light is on.. FML

I left the keys in it and I go out at like 5:45 ready to leave work and my car isn't there. I started freaking out and was about to call the cops when another guy said it was one of the body men that took it. I was so pissed I almost just decked him in the face right there. He was like drifting around the block and beating the **** off of it, I heard it but I didn't know it was my car. If he wasn't the one who hooked me up with the car I would have torn his ***** off right there, was his brothers. Poor car, it deserved a lot more than those stupid white trash owners.

My friend was with him(didn't know the car was mine) and said they hauled *** past a cop, that **** would have been so funny if they would have gotten pulled over then the car is reported stolen 20 seconds later.

Revenge will be sweet, his piece of **** Civic won't know what hit it. I feel a nut check won't suffice.

Usually I never let anyone touch my ****, because stuff like that would probably happen and in that case it did.. No one knows how to treat their stuff right anymore, that's exactly why the car looks the way it does now.

Also someone just made a ridiculous offer on the car today, I don't know how serious he was but holy ****..

No offence at all, but sell me the CME and valance before it's too late. And yes, I'm very serious.

I think I am going to cut it off anyways, I'll let you know.

I'll keep one some day, I love the car but I really need something bigger.

Also, I think you will find most people on here (and in general) will tell you to leave a limited edition car the way it came; I agree with them. Fix the wheels, replace the sail panel and just make it clean but still stock.
Happened today.. I was backing up at a weird angle and the tire dug into the quarter and ripped a foot long gash in the tire.. The funny part is I was thinking about what you said and was about to swap the wheels out at work today since I am headed to Dallas with a car load of people this weekend. Just glad this didn't happen on the way up there at 90mph since the car would be scraping the ground anyways with it full of kids.

I have the road hazard warranty so no big deal. I kinda like the car more with the stock wheels anyways.

Got the car all clean up and waxed, looks really good now. Cut the exhaust off too and I love the sound.
