Well i painted my calipers blue this winter so I finally got around and got some pics w/ my cell phone. So heres some pics of the car all cleaned up. This picture almost makes me not wanna get new rims cause the stock look good cause I used some chrome cleaner and used tire cleaner and put this wet/slick stuff on em, makes em look pretty sharp.

We'll im thinkin about getting 18's in May, I've got alot saved up and im pretty sure ill be gettin 5 spoke chrome wheels w/ some nice low pro tires so itll look good. As far as sellin my old ones idk, i was thkin about using them as a winter tire but if i just keep my wheels clean in winter i dont thk ne of that road grime and crap would ruin the chrome would it?

i can't wait to see your car finished rook... it's going to be a BAMF... Do you have an exhaust vid rook? i'd like to hear your exhaust tone...

I like the calipers alpine... i'd say leave the rims and put that 1400 into a little savings fund for a turbo or a CSC... maybe you could do a little GT45 turbo and do a few things to beef up the tranny for about 3K...

Yes, but it's through the stock single muff (which has a rattling issue). You can barely hear the cam through it, which appears about half through the vid when rpms drop. I also have one of open headers when I first dropped it in (didn't even have the accessory or S/C belt on it, I was so giddy it fired up).

Sorry RooK but my lawnmower sounds better than your car with open headers laugh , I know all GP's sound like that though. Now get us some pics of the car and a video where you give it a little gas! wink

Rims look great with the painted calipers!

Just an FYI, unless someone went to an aftermarket shop, they are not chrome. They are a clear coated polished alloy. In which case a chrome polish wouldn't be the best way to clean them up. Rather a polish and wax the same way you would care for your paint.
