Before and After, Opinions Needed!
Hello Fellow Third Gen Members,
I bought my first third gen this summer and have been painstakingly doing everything I can to make her the best that she can be. I have spent a lot of dough already and I am sure it is well worth it. Well when I bought her she still had the stock rims in pretty bad condition for 23 years old. The first picture I will show you is the way I bought the car minus the wheel center caps. I bought the center caps, the emblems, new trim rings, and redid them myself. What do you think?

I was reading some articles on that yesterday and I guess that will be my next project, what color would you recommend? I still need a paint job and it is scheduled for next summer, so I hope I am not doing all these improvements right before winter to only have to do them again after paint. Hopefully we will have a mild winter this year

You were right, if it wasn't dark outside I would go do it right now. Thanks for the pic Dark Mavis it looks sweet.
