i think the pinstriping is actually a nice touch.

it depends on how its done...

i like how it looks on this whitey though.

my opinion is to get the A-C-U-R-A badging and fill in the wholes

where the A was (if you plan to take it out).

racing seats ? leathers?

WELCOME !

looking good

I had to debadge the trunk at work. (Since thats where i got the car from) The pinstripping will be coming off soon but the tool i have runs on a battery. And i wasnt sure if it would make it all around the car and i didnt want it to die half-way. All it does it rub it off for you.. Its nice. The leather might be nice.. What color and how much. PM me. I live in central wisconsin and still no snow... As for modding im sure where to start. Im planning on getting windows tinted first but after that i dont know whether to drop it first or to do intake/header/exhaust. We'll see when it gets there. It needs a little suspension work as it is now. The suspension creaks when i stop and start and a lil when i turn. Im thinking either balljoints or a bad bushing. What would u guys think? Im also getting the front bumper and the side skirts and front and rear valances painted white too. Getting all that done for $400. Another thing that i noticed with this is that when i shift i think i have a loose tranny mount because it clunks. I dunno if that is easy to fix or not. Any ideas on that would be cool too.

No chrome wheels... When i get rims they will either be chrome or black with chrome lip or gunmetal with chrome lip.. Most likely either black or gunmetal tho.
