SEE UPDATED PICS ON PAGE 4

Picked this up a few weeks ago from a member here on CL. Interesting to find one in this color as I had not seen this color before - and one with no sunroof at that. Car came with simple mods (tein springs and hid's) . Engine was overhauled by the techs @ JM and I had the interior redone by a shop near my area. Little nicknacks here and there. I'll update pics as i go along. wish me luck!

Where did you get the new seat cover/armrest cover from? How much if you don't mind sharing?

Welcome fellow antique bronzer.

Mines a '98 gs4 with black interior, spoiler and sunroof. I wasn't a big fan of the color when I first got the car but it does grow on you...kind of.

Suggest you get touch up paint from the dealer while it's still available.

i went to an auto upholsterer in my area - had the seats armrest and carpet all replaced - cost about 1k - well worth it!

thanks for the all of the compliments - it kind of ties the steering wheel in with the rest of the interior - until i can buy a wooden one.
