Max Capacity Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I vote go for the HP. The car is already old, if your's is like mine the paint is stone chipped and old. HP is more fun then a perfect body. If it looks like a pos no one will want to steal it. When you get the next door ding, it will blend in. Get a bunch of friends together with small dings, call a dent wizard guy and have him do a group discount on a bunch of cars on a Saturday. Find a Detail shop supply place and buy the tools and DIY. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

heferly Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 ^ 2nd on the dent wizard...much cheaper group rates or if you have a friend in any service dept, maybe you can 'happen' to bring your car in when they're getting the cars on the lot sometimes you eat the bar, and sometimes...well, he eats you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
