(you may have to copy paste to browser window). Just got the car back sunday, the guy did a great job, the paint is deep, glossy and rich. I went with original red, with clearcoat -- the car looks like new.

Now I just have to work on the interior, the leaking t-tops, and the rims.

Nope those are 16" IROC stock polished the heck out of them,
and painted the wheels with gun metal wheel paint. So far the paint is holding up great.

Nice, looks like my old bird. I have the Iroc rims on my T/A and love them. Polishing and a new coat of paint makes them look amazing.

I like the 17" ZR-1 rims you can get from slp or hawks third gen, at just under $700 for the set. Thats what Im leaning towards right now.

I didnt want to put too much into the red rims because I am really not that fond of them, but he did clean them up a bit for me. They still look like crap in my opinion though -- the mismtached or missing center caps doesnt help.

Ive been cleaning up the interior and already have my 4th gen aftermarket leather seats in the back.
