Don't do that, It's a manual transmission...That's one of the things saving grace on the car....besides, You can always upgrade to '95-'96 tailights,'95-'00 glass highbeams,get a 2nd cup holder and always convert your cornering lights into "fake" foglights someday. LOL!

I have an idea for some tail lights, because I do agree with you, they are fugly.

Whenever I get in my car from now on, I'm going to think about that second cup holder I never had...

Skizzals(me) thinks that you need to relax.
everyone has their own taste i have a 94 model myself and i love it
im not worried about how to mod my car so others can like wtf its mine not theirs!
also im not trying to disrespect you in any way im just saying. . . . .
1 thing i do agree is that not alot of new sc members use the search function but o well what are you gonna do

So I did the whole Leatherique thing. I let the product sit for about 48 hours, and parked the car outside in the sun so it would get that "sauna effect" the instructions mention. I'm not too excited about the results. I guess it did make the leather a bit softer, but it didn't do all I expected it to. Maybe my leather was a little more damaged, and needs some more TLC.
But I also did my bf's g35 drivers seat, and it did make a improvement. It looks a lot better!

After:






Oh, and does anyone have any recommendations on where to find wheels? I've been stocking Zilvia, searching ebay, and keeping tabs on rbmotoring.
I'm looking for like 18's, maybe 19's with LOW OFFSETS. ABC, Weds, Works, Vienna... yada yada. Thx. <3

*rbmotoring runs rb wheels.

It looks like your seats are actually dirty, might want to get something that cleans the leather, as 96SC4 said.

-1 on the bf.

lol j/k. Great choice on Ohlins, did you pick them up from RB?
I talked him down to $900 a while ago, but then decided that I was definitely not keeping my SC... So didn't pull the trigger. GL w/everything. There's a ClubLexus wheels classified btw- sometimes some good stuff there..

hit up 1khpwrx. I believe he is selling some AME's in the fitment you're looking for. I forget the specs but i think its something like 18x9.5 18x10.5 +0 or something around that range.

Well I got my Ohlins yesterday, from RB motoring. Bad news! They're stripped. Yes, stripped, as in the collars on one of the fronts can't be moved. And one of the adjustment ***** on the rears are broken.
RB Motoring fail. The people are nice enough and have offered me a full refund, including shipping. I'm just sad no one noticed two MAJOR problems.

No coilovers for me.
