    basicly they just look shitty, looks like a couple have been replaced at one time or another. The car runs with a check engine thing and while I tear into it I want to replace everything that I can (plugs, wires, valve seals, check banjo bolts etc). I want this thing to be a 25k car not the POS 8.5K car that it is. I have all the front end parts ready to install as soon as I have time and motovation. The new trunk spoiler and tint completely transformed the car, the body/paint is immaculate.

    The arcing in damp conditions convinced me to make the change. Obviously the old ones were tired at 16 or 17 years old.
    I'm sending the old ones off to Jeff. I'm sure he'll report on the rebuilding project.
    The only thing special about them is all the little plastic sleeves they are threaded through, which I would think are re-usable or even unnecessary.
    I paid ~$400 for both sides at the time. I regret doing it now, Jeff has the better idea I think.
