i dont like those wheels..... never did. If it were me i would be looking for a different color for the car... im not a big fan of brown. Other than that it looks pretty clean.

Instead of putting on shaved door handles, a new spoiler and underbody neons (YUCK!) spend the money on a paint job. Brown is never going to look good no matter how hard you try. Black, white, dark grey (my favorite), blue, even red, they all work great!

You can probably get a decent looking (i.e. a hell of a lot better than your 20 year old GM paint) paint job from a reputable body shop (NOT Maaco) for about $1000. Take a look around!

I personally love those wheels, I have the chrome ones and they get so many compliments! Your car in black with those wheels and a drop would look awesome.

It takes a little bit of work, but you can make an 85 TA look ok.

I personally like the fiberglass spoilers better than the factory ones. I bought mine from one of the companies above but I cant remember which one. Stay way from the neons. heres a pic of my 85
