    Thought -x-'s '99 Ebony was for sale again, but maybe not...

    This is really confusing.......
    Same ebay seller "rapidjoe". We determined the 1999 VIN #1439 belonged to forum member -x- from FLA. Said brother in IL was selling it.

    1/31/10- 1999 - $5,002 Reserve NOT met in 16 bids:
    VIN: JACCN57X0X7991439
    Miles: 169,350
    Timing belt changed at 120,000 miles
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...T#ht_500wt_931

    3/9/10....1999 - winning bid $4,350 in 29 bids, if there was a reserve, it apparently was met:
    VIN: JACCN57X0X7991439
    Miles: 171,000
    Timing belt changed at 120,000 miles
    and NOW lists A REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION 2/15/10.
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...T#ht_558wt_916.

    4/1/10- 2001 2001 - listed for $7,500 after what appears to be putting on some of -x-'s mods back on like wheels
    VIN #JACCN57X617D00876
    Timing belt changed at 95,000 miles
    Miles: 134,000
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Isuzu...9#ht_500wt_931

    So it's confusing...... but maybe the seller took the goodies from -x-'s 1999 and put them on a 2001 Ebony and is selling that now?? Curious....

    I gotta way too much time on my hands apparently....

    Just picked up a pair to go in my "pit trailer" that I'm putting together to trailer my big boy tires to Moab...

    Should look just about like this when done...

    It's called Shaved Door Handles...works the same way as the popper for our rear door.

    If you want to add that to your mods you can make it happen with these:

    It's very popular with the Tuner crowd and those who like the Lambo door look (where the door swings up from the front hinge).

    A) Lambo/Scissor door was my first guess, but since it wasn't mentioned in the listing....and I know they're a couple thousand large!

    B) This mod isn't for me anyway, rather have the Hella Micro DE Xenons if I was inclined to spend some coin!

    C) I'm definitely not a tuner (although I did have a rice rocket...'84 CRX)....lived in L.A. for 15 yrs '82-'97 so had more than my full share of that.......and I won't be adding LED undercarriage lights any time soon...

    They are called rocklights. Now that I am pitching it that way, more people will want them. I checked out a few sites, undercarriage neons, <100 bucks, rocklights, starting at 175. Same junk, different name
