      For my next trick? Not sure. I'll be starting a job soon, so I'll be able to spend money without feeling bad. I need a bike attachment for my roof rack, one of the ones where I can lock my bike to it and keep my wheel attached. That's actually a NEED too, because I have trips planned for biking. Of course, most people won't notice, because I take the roof rack off when it's not needed.

      I've been torn between the rack and mudflaps. I'm going to check some junkyards tomorrow or Monday for them. If I can't find any I'm buying the ones TypeG has.

      Mid summer: Rust is a must! I NEED to get that done before it spreads. There's actually a hole in my trunk that I've got to weld up.

      After that, I'm thinking intersection lights. They look cool, serve a purpose, and are OEM. Those are actually my requirements for any add-ons.
      Of course, I do have those heated mirrors sitting around. And those are free to hook up. I've also got my license plate strobe light circuit box built.....
      Sooooo many things!
      Rear mudflaps really aren't very hard to find, i have never had any trouble finding them. Might i suggest an EX rear sway bar swap?

      And i really don't think those mirrors will work well lol.

        I'm definitely going to try!
        I've never really bothered to look for the mudflaps. They always fall to the back of the queue when I find something cool, like heated mirrors!

        I've seen a few EXs, but the 2 things that are stopping me are:
        Never bring a jack, and don't really want to get down in the dirt.
        My junkyards are ALWAYS overpriced. I can't imagine what they'd want for one. It'll likely end up costing less to buy new.

          You dont have to choose. mudflaps should cost you about 5 bucks from the junkyard. thats how much i paid for a complete set for mine, and then found out my car already has fronts

          and those requirements are good words to live by

              Thanks. I try to get my friends to follow suit, but they either don't care about their cars or they catch the ricer bug.

                    yes they are different. the 90-91 say honda on them. i JUST NOW installed some 90-91s on my 92. they fit great and the holes all line up. plus i painted the letters on mine white, so they look great. if i were u, id go with the 9091's no matter what

                      They don't properly match the contour of the bumper right.

                            Roof Rack Looks Great .

                            I've been on the look out for one myself.

                            Do you actually use it or did you get it for more visual ?

                              Thanks.
                              A little bit of both. Currently it's sitting next to me, because I'm all about the mpgs. The main reason it's not on the car is because it's not very useful right now. That's a kayak holder attached to it, but nobody will sell me a kayak. I've been trying to find a used bike holder, and I've had no luck. I may just bite the bullet and buy one new.

                              Your best bet is to buy used. Check Craigslist and eBay. Remember that craigslist folks can always be talked down. I got that rack for $150. New? About $700. I had to buy the Q clips new though, so another $70. And the straps for the kayak holder were missing, that added another $60. I'm likely going to buy the frontloader model for my bike, so about $140.

                              MAKE SURE YOU BUY LOCKS. I would never feel safe driving around with all that attached if it wasn't locked to my roof.

                                the mismatch is not bad at all. im at the library now, but when my home computer gets fixed ill post up pics of my "mismatch".

                                if youre in a rush to buy, take my word and get the 9091s
