Since everyone probably knows what a stock '91 RS looks like, I'll show the after only. After TT IIs, KYB shocks/struts, Hotchkis 1" lowering springs, PA Racing Tubular A-arms, and Spohn adj. Panhard bar.

Hey kids take note, I'd love to have some 17s or 18s but couldn't afford them and new tires too. So it just goes to show ya, you can have a stance with lowly 16s!

Here is my before shot. It was taken with a standard camera, also this was after it was washed. So you can't see the fading.

Nobody. I bought them from a 93 Camaro they came stock this way. All I did was clean them and bolt them into my car. I couldn't pass up the deal either. $100 for the set. Wasn't really looking for new seats for my car but the colors were perfect. I can't tell you how many people have asked me who redid them for me. They were stock colors in 93-94.

Chuck, Do you have a picture of your engine bay? Im wondering what color it is, I see you painted the fenders but it looks like the rest of it(like the radiator support) is a different color.

before and after

Here is a the two major things done on my car. One being the tail lights from a 1983 trans-am were put on in place. i was suppose to get the hood but it was put on a truck instead. My bf had the 1983 trans-am and was getting parts for me. Then he became my ex.
the next was the headlight. We had put a gold bracket on it to pass inpection and it stayed like that for almost two years. (hey I am woman and not into mechanical things)
Next is the door which we are working on this sunday. So my passengers can get out of my car
