1998 :
i bought my first AE101, it was a sporty Si model and i still have it!
2011 :
On odometer is now 320000km (about 200000miles?) and the rear arches are -again- red/brown and very crispy.
The costs to fix the rust were too high. So it was time to say goodbye to the one that never let me down in 13 years and look for other car.
So, i bought myself a ´new´ used car...
Same Si model, one year younger, with a/c and 200k km less on odometer. And.. no rust.
First put my Azev 7,5x15" wheels on it and have the custom FXGT exhaust swapped from old to new car.
strutbar and hoodshocks mounted
White/Crystal OEM side repeaters
My steering wheel
The USA spec. centerconsole with armrest got new spray
My FX frontbumper with OEM Vestatec foglights and rare OEM spoiler
Time to give some parts new paint. First we take all parts off.
Then the solution to prevent color differences between old and new paint

Correct, its a FX bumper. The foglights came with special mould to cut out a piece to fit the frames.
All Hatchback 92-95 model have that bumper here, only the Si (or GTSi) models have the black front lip extra as on the picture of AE102GXI. The big lip i have was optional extra. There was also a lip for the rear. Both very rare and hard to get.
