Little rust spot... Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr :gun: Soon... very soon...

Blurry, but you get the point.
Also, while I'm at it, here's a pic of the blue SE-i armrest.

The paint on my car is in bad condition. I've started fighting the rust with a bit of success. I'll probably ride with no shine for a good while before I save the funds for a nice paint job.
There it is :)

So what's the differance in the tail lights?Instead of the blinker part being on top it's on the side, making the brake light part more of a square shaped and not just a long rectangle.

The harnesses are different, however they plug straight in with no modifications.

well you'd need a new trunk lid for either one unless you're just gotta use the outer lights from the vigor. would they even match?
i also wonder if the 1g legend lights would match they look very similar

wouldnt those just bolt right in?
yeah they do bolt on, although you would need to mod your "trunk" a bit =/ cant forget the bumper though

Japanese OEM parts(JDM) they are 100% different than OEM US version

Those are the Euro/JDM taillights. Same thing that I got ahold of.

early jdm tails have the orange taking up the whole corner while US ones have orange on top and red on bottom

i know im late but...
http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k313/Tomisimo/03112006001.jpg <<those are EDM ones cause the tail lights center piece is longer than the JDM ones to fit the long number plates in them, JDM ones just cover up some space like this: http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/55/29670655_full.jpg although some JDM ones are exactly the same as the euro ones =/ euro ones look better though :)

Don't forget moms who "just want something nice to drive that gets good mileage."
My mom went through a short phase where she really wanted a Geo Prizm after she found out it was basically a rebadged Corolla.
