Well i picked up the EP finally. I got it for 10,800 wit 36,600 miles on it. I got it home...and its gonna take time to get it right. The alarm is rigged its got swiwthces everywhere that i dunno what they do and the spare looks like he did a 20 minute burnout on it. Haha so i have to find someone to help me wit the wiring and get a new spare. Ill post pics either tonight or tomorrow. I still love it though. Just not the lip kit or altezzas.

I'd probably lose the DTM muffler, Tailights, and lip kit. Other than that it looks pretty good. One day I'll find one :mbiggrin:

You got a lot of rewiring to do. But in the end you will love the car even more.

I think I saw this one on autotrader or cars.com. Where did you pick it up from?

Not a fan of the tail lights or lip kit also :mangel: How many miles on it?
Does it have the factory deck with all that additional wiring? Tweeters are something special :mcry: Enjoy your little slow egg :mredface:

Disregard "how many miles?" I finally scrolled all the way to the top and saw your first post......

Please bring this car back to stock at least! A nice set of HFP or JDM skirts & oem tails would be a nice start. Good luck on the wiring. Nice pick-up anyways.

Damn STL must be expensive to live!! Atlanta's AP1's w/ good mileage (around 25XXX - 40XXX) are priced at that..

nice ride...

I had to use my spare tire over 3 weeks because got one rim which was damaged and new one was not availaible earlier...but my spare wheel is still usable...

So I guess previous owner made some burnout with that one...
