didnt you just finish this and add the new seats? whats with the sudden change of "leaving the scene" ...free bump also..

Yup.. just bought a whole new exhaust setup too. In reality it's just to low for a dd. And i cannot afford another car. I can't drive on dirt roads, and i have a VERY hard time getting over speed bumps. I love the gas milage, i love the comfort of the ride, its a overall great car, and runs awesome. Its just time to let it go. I would like a automatic that i can just smoke out, maybe some rims to clean up the overall look, and then just call it a day.

Wut? Wheels don't matter, tires do. I had 17's on my ZX2 and my speedo was only off by maybe 1 cuz i chose the right tire size.
Besides, he said it's the gages.

bumper for lowering price $700 what is the new price ?? Let me know ??
Waterboy9000
07-18-2008, 10:29 PM
new price is $2500. I'm going to school in mt.pleasant so im only home for the weekend. If you're interested shoot me a call. 248 860 6820. But other than that i wont be home until next weekend.
The Drivers door solenoid to pop the door went out today, thats why i lowered the price so drastically, i haven't checked it out yet but others who also shaved their door handles said the soleniods that come in the pack suck, and should be replaced with a stock one. I can do that but the price will be raise up a little bit more.
2,700 and i will include two mufflers (4" outlet) and a Focus manifold.

I don't think you need to keep lowering the price. I was looking around on sites and a lot of zx2's were going for 4-6k depending on year and miles. The issue is people on here don't have money to just buy a car. That and your car is low. Try craigslist yet? Drive around with a 4 sale sign in the window?

07-21-2008, 08:26 PM
sorry to see you selling
the window sign usually works good park it at wal -mart durng the day or something lots a traffic
Waterboy9000
07-21-2008, 08:28 PM
good idea, i just keep messing it up even more, making me want to sell it even more.
JC'szx2
07-21-2008, 08:32 PM
and stop dropping the price this will sell for something decent and aim 500 higher than you want so they feel like they are ripping you off.
Waterboy9000
07-21-2008, 08:43 PM
okay, thanks for the tips everyone

I have my days where I want to put a 4sale sign in the camaro and see what people will offer me. If you put a sign in your car I'd list the price as negotiable and let them offer something 1st. Maybe list the KBB or NADA price on the sign for reference.
Which I just check mine and NADA says it's worth between 3500-4500 and same for KBB. Gas prices go up and these cars prices will follow.

for the top picture, my bumper wasn't bolted up. The bumper now is fully bolted up andthe cracked area was pushed back together (the rivets where pushing a gap in it)
The bumper is still strong and fully intact.

Ouch, why I try to push people away from glass bumpers. Downside they crack, upside they are fixable.

For sure, i totally agree. I wish i would have gone urethane but i didn't have the money when it was purchased.

You can still fuck up urethane. Trust me.
It takes a few times, but I did it. lol

I for see this coming in future. I cracked my buddy club front 2 weeks after I installed it. The same part as on the bottom of the bumper by the the grille opening is where i broke mine.
Waterboy9000
07-29-2008, 08:30 AM
yeah man, mine cracked in the two spots by the bolts because that is where i molded the bd bottom to the old top, as we all know our oem bumper flexes, and fg doesn't. Just be gentle with it man, they're way to easy to break
