| White letter tires go almost all the way ( they have a bad relationship with their father.... I'll get the joke outta the way  ) I'm running 215/70r15's on the caddy skinny whites. When I can find time to smooth out the side wall's on a set Im gonna paint 4" whites with roofing paint, it's rubberized and is flexible so it won't crack. Here's a white letter tire cut;

| Ive still got those ss springs you need right here. If you cut, do one half coil at a time. If you want to do bags later, this isnt a bad alternative, just like we said, you half ass the work, you get a half ass car. |

| yep and I still want the springs btw. with a half coil out and ss springs will front be higher than rear. or is this gonna depend on what spring I have in the car. they are the soft ride ones. |

Theres a store here where they are $25 a piece. OEM, no repro. Other than that, you can go to the junk yard and try and get some off a conversion van or some GMC work truck. I just sold my last N97/9C1 center cap. |

..........and your wheels are regular Civi's right? You'll have to drill and tap them to put N97 caps on. |

Exactly! I would not trust a 50 buck item like an opti considering it's location if it fails. I would rather buy a ebay brass terminal cap and rotor for $50, and get a decent used ACdelco/Delphi Opti with a Mitsubishi pickup if the one I had was bad. With that you have no Idea what you are getting. I can replace an Optispark in about two hours. Can you? |

| You have to get their insurance info an put a claim in with their company. They will send an appraiser and tell you what it's worth, you have the option to buy the car back from ins for what they deem salvage is worth, then they will cut you the check, If the other guy DOESN'T have insurance then you will have to try and sue them personally or take the loss and try and make as much as you can in parts,
