looks nice ...but wheres the rear spoiler???? ...i think it needs the rear spoiler and maybe a set of solid centerlines would look awsome on it with that color

glad to see you kept it a true sport coupe. i really like that color too. i would stick a set of centerline telstars on it...fatties out back and skinnies up front. i kinda like the no spoiler look as well. just get you some money saved up and drop a good v8 in there!

I love that color... thats the one I wanted on my car before I found out it was a $1200 job... I don't think the pics do it justice though, because Magnetic Red II is a lot deeper than those pics can show.

Can't go wrong with American Racing TTII's



Paint looks great! Leave the spoiler off. If you add the ground effects it will look like a California edition.

Thats a nice color! I own Cragar Street Stars, I ordered them from Jegs, and you really can't go wrong with them. I get a lot of compliments with them, and you can't beat a set of freshly polished street stars IMO. I GOTTA get some pics up!

Ya my camera sucks, it doesnt do the paint justice at all. It looks so great in the sun. And i have the 3 piece spoiler and i also have a set of groung effect minus the front bumper cover, but i thought i would keep it original. I made a great score at the junkyard and got a set of cloth seats out of a 97 camaro for 150. I will try and get some larger pics soon. Thanks for the comments.

Do you have the Original Rims? If you do, Clean up and wax it up. Or you can go to Ebay and can find some decent Iroc rims for a good price. Do a search ull be suprise that you can find some ones with a godo price
