omg man that is the sweetest thirdgen ive ever seen. the gap between the hood and bumper looks a little big tho, and the headlights look like they are closed to far down. there are stop screws to adjust how far open and how far closed they go, i think u may need to adjust it a little. sometimes they break too and the door will just close until it bottoms out.

thanks!!!
i fabbed up those switches, to look stock as possible. im debating keeping them tho.
the doorpanels are not stock. i think you could order the option in like 87 and up, or they came in GTAs as well. if you switch the armrest bracket you can convert yours.
the "manual" feature of my headlight motors doesnt work, so i dont know how to adjust otherwise. i turn the **** and it makes funny noise but doesnt move anywhere and i dont want to force it anymore and break them. they do work fine electronically though.

the "stops" im talking about isnt part of the manual **** thing to open them. you need to take the headlight out and the trim and look around for these 2 screws. one is a stop for how far it will open, the other is a stop for how far it will close. they are kind of hidden away tho, probably wont see them unless you take the whole headlight assembly out to get familare with it, then reinstall it and adjust the stops. its pretty common for them to break and fall out so it might not even be there anymore. but to me, it looks like they are closed too far down.
