Re: ACC Dove Gray Embroidered Floor Mats

I'm curious about the fading--has yours seen a lot of sunlight? I had a '90 Formula that I bought new and was my only driver for many years. Sold it about 10 years ago but I don't remember if the...

Re: Medium gray rubber floor mats w/ logo--anyone have a pic of them installed?

Yes, I still have the factory carpeted ones in. I decided against the rubber--I really don't think they will look right, at least to me, in a third gen. And I did narrow it down to ACC w/ the...

Replace original '89 low mileage hoses, or not?
