Got new rims from a friend that did these black. Kind of like them. And yes i know the brakes are drilled. Thats how i got it. Iam saving some money to get the 12'' front brake kit and just normal rear rotor.

Sand the dash down and get it painted, I LOVE the look of painted interiors.

Looks pretty good. I'm not feeling the black rims. I guess I am just sick of cars with black rims. I don't mind them as much with a chrome lip at least. Looks like a pretty clean car other than the dash.

Get a dashboard carpet. Previous owner of the '90 lived in Nevada, so he had one. Keeps the dash from cracking and fading (especially since it's black in the '90).

Otherwise just sand it and paint it, but make sure you spend time prepping it since it's a noticeable thing in a car.

Looking good!

How much KR do you create running that 3.3 pulley without a tune/few mods you currently have? I would highly recommend scanning for KR if you haven't. :headbang

Dont get me wrong. Iam not a newbe at moding these cars and I know a 3.3 is small. I get 3 dgrees in high 2nd gear. Iam thinking the cooler temps help that??

The cooler temps will keep your KR numbers lower. The disadvantage to having KR present is that it will pull timing from the computer. Some find that a car with your same mods with a 3.4 pulley (0KR) will actually be faster than a 3.3 (3degrees). To each their own, just giving a heads up to what I have seen in the past when I was heavily into gtps....best of luck. :banana1:

eh when i had mine i never saw the point in heavily modifying the outside. car has good lines, lines, i blacked out the tails with LEDs, clear corners and tint. exhaust tips too. other then that, it looks good on its own

Iam not painting the inside. And I got the stock wheels on right now. Thanks for all the good comments, and i will do the rim switch as soon as I get a chance. The only thing I want to get done is the Slp Spoiler and ever dent and mark out of the car witch will be done soon.

They are gonna rotate like that anyway. All 4 wheels are made the same (blade roates in the same direction).
