Looks good!

That's a door opening vs fender dent?
Just gotta pull the bottom of that fender forward maybe. Mine had that problem, but a little worse, mine was hit in the front that caused that.

what do you mean with the suspension?

Nitro

It looks lowered and I see some red springs with red shocks, what is those? Or it is a full stock?

the springs are s14 front/rear megan racing 1.75in springs. which make the car too low or the spring rate is to low. s13 springs will work better that arent as low with a higher springs rate. im going back to stock till i can get some better springs,

Wow... that is a very nice and quick restore of the car.  Also, I love the rims.    But then again... I have the same style.

man, the crackheads that had them on there when i got them, they suck hella bad, when i drive they shake i cant see shit.

I would say some generic brand mirrors from the looks of them.  If not that, I would bet something found at a yard.

Buddy of mine up there has a CRX with the same problem.  Those little "GT" fake carbon mirrors.  They suck hard.  Cant even see with em cause they vibrate so bad and they dont adjust far enough lol.
