Nice lookin bug. It actually looks just like mine other than the wheels. I noticed you are in richmond. I'm in mechanicsville. Maybe I'll see you runnin around.

[Kickeroo]

Coil-overs installed, all bushings replaced, entire front suspension re-fresh kit installed.

My buddies: Perception Motor Werks/

Finally it can be revealed (ok, it was a Christmas present from my GF)


View from the rear:


Looking for trouble and finding it up front:

Lookin good. Any pics from the side so we can see the over all stance/ride height of the car?

I'm heading over to perception motor werks soon myself as soon as I have the cash for the revo tune

Just noticed you got the suspension setup from ECS...they are located in my hometown. Mind me asking how much it ran you?

[Kickeroo]

The Street-Line coil-over kit was $550
The "Refresh" kit for the front: $230
...and the rear bushings that started it all: $80

Install was a deal I worked out myself, so you're on your own there, although I must say PMW is VERY reasonable;

And, as promised: before


And After:


I hadn't had a chance to wash it, so it looks a bit fugly.

Not a bad price. Man thats low. I would have to creep into the driveway if mine was that low. Does PMW do repairs/maintenance also?

[Kickeroo]

They do it all. Like 'em on Facebook, tell 'em Kickeroo sent ya.

Punchbuggy YELLOW

Welsome to Richmond in Springtime.

But hey, she's looking good with her new headlights. Well worth replacing them after 11 years (to her, 8 with me).

Ive been wondering how good those windshield cleaner things were.. it is a huge piece of glass to try and clean without streaks.lol

I stopped today to get a microfiber wand for dusting dash.. not so good, left all kinds of lint and stuff still sitting, I think it just pushed it all around. lol

I have also found that cyber green bugs seem to be a nmagnet for real bugs!!! 2 washes in last 3 days Of course I think the high speeds my Hubby drove on country roads playing this weekend might have helped. Bugs didnt have time to get out o the way lol

Isn't this yellow pollen everywhere ridiculous? I swear I could wash the cars twice a day and they still wouldn't look good. I'm relatively new to the area...is it like this every spring?

Diggin the fresh headlights BTW
