so i get a phone call today from the guy i bought the car from, he picked up an 02 S2K with a bunch of work done to it(yellow also) and calls me to say he’ll be in buffalo in a hour, and asking me if i want to swap hood/trunk for his CF ones why the hell not? ![http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs464.ash1/25514_379273032129_626757129_4270324_7326743_n.jpg](http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs464.ash1/25514_379273032129_626757129_4270324_7326743_n.jpg) ![http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs444.snc3/25514_379273027129_626757129_4270323_7131309_n.jpg](http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs444.snc3/25514_379273027129_626757129_4270323_7131309_n.jpg) ---

> [@newman](#): > > I’d be more worried to find out what’s wrong with the car you just bought. I have to agree here… but on another level is it cheaper to: 1. s/c the car you have… possibly in a questionable condition or 2. sell the problem car and pick up boosted “well running” car? one might argue why sell and “rebuy” the same car vs. building it to your own specs. Just a thought but either way drive it till it breaks! ---
