Thanks man. It just feels so nice to drive around the car when the interior feels like it's brand new. This car makes me feel like im driving a brand new car and it's everything I could ever want from one.

Were your seats recovered? Who did it? I was quoted 1200.00 to have all of mine recovered, so I pulled a nice set from a 4th gen. Had I to do it all over again, I would have had the originals recovered simply for authenticity.

New foam and recovered, I am very happy with the turn out. Only thing I might add in is the 4th gen tilt mechanism.

It's been kinda crappy out with the weather, so I haven't had a chance to wash her this week.

It is an awesome car, the heat and AC blow like new, and it's as quiet as could be inside. I am planning an LS/6spd swap for it.

I'd leave that car alone and find another to put the ls/t56 in. Thats my opinion.... nice ride man!

Nothing like having new foam and covers on your seats. I had Princess make my covers and refoamed and covered them myself. I love how much more comfortable they are now.

Re: Thought I would share...

Only gripe I have is the orange peel in the paint. Is it clearcoated, or can it still be wetsanded? If you really want the car to stand out the reflection in the paint should be crisp, not wavy and distorted. Just a personal preference at least.
