hey guys i've been a member for awhile now and love the information on here. i finally got my car looking really good. i have headers, exhuast, ram air hood, hurst vmatic 2 shifter with custom stainless console. i'm trying to keep it as stock as possible with still making it fun with a little more power. it only has 48000 miles on it and it is in maticulous condition lots of people give me offers all the time. i love the rims and paint i chose for it also let me know what you guys think. How many 1990 gta's are their left with only 48000 miles i feel like it is one of a kind? i will post pictures of how i did the console this week. Give me some imput thanks James

sweetness. Can you do some more pics? I'm still in the air on whether I like the wheels or not. BTW - I like how you kept the original spoiler and went with the newer style hood. I did the same and really like the look.

I spotted your car a couple months back on what is it, 303? Whatever the highway through silverdale is and have been wondering whose it was for a while! Nice looking bird!

Come check out Cascade Crew as well.

If you lowered it, it would set it off a whole lot more.

The rims really set it off. But I would agree on a .5 lower.

Look how ugly my car is - it makes your look that much better!

J/K great job! Without comparison!

Not a fan of the rims, but its your car, rims are one of the biggest things you can do to personalize the car. I've always loved the look of the crosslace rims however.

And don't lower it if you want to keep your GFX looking nice.

new pictures

The rims are foose and i love them i liked the boyds but didn't want to spend the money these were half the price and i think the look better. I have no modifications besides headers and exhuast with k&n. i was thinking of putting on the stealth ram and a supercharger but i thought it might reck the value of the car what do you guys think. i thought with it being all original and low miles it could be worth alot of money in 10 years but i migh reck that if i took off stock parts but i really would like to go FASTER. but i'm happy beating my cousins 2000 mustang gt. these pics our of the fabed console and rims i will take more interior shots after i clean it out today. is this car going to go up in price greatly in the future? thanks james also i would like to lower it a bit more but i haven't becuase i already scrape on speed bumps and slight inclines.

Very nice TA man. I would give you 9 out of 10 on exterior appearance (Sonar_un as well for that matter). As for modding the engine I would have to say go for it. Enjoy it since you have it. Besides we all know you would never dream of selling a thirdgen as nice as that.

I like that idea. It'd be cool if you could find some black plastic honeycomb stuff to put in them. I think stuff came like that on the stangs on the side vents? I cant remember which car at the moment.
