Either way, I'm in. Good luck with the build and please please please, get rid of that pin stripe!
I hear you, as of now turbo isn't in the cards but we'll see how the build goes and once we have completed everything we may look the boost option over again. Fair enough???

We are building a very realistic daily driver car that almost every one can afford to build on their own.

This build has a $6,000 budget total which includes:
Wheels
Tires
Suspension
Body Kit
Exhaust
Lighting Upgrades
Tint
Major Clean up
Small Interior needs
So what's going to replace the GS wheels?

We are still toying with ideas for the tail/head lamps. We plan to LED the interior lights which is something simple to do. We will prob post a DIY thread for the LED install, stay posted.

We are thinking to do either the 95 tails and mod them with LED's maybe red/euro clear or red clear. Maybe 97+ tails with some LED's and paint the chrome surrounds in the tails the color of the car. IDK yet

We will be offering partial sponsorships on a new wheel line we will be distributing a little later on in the year.

I suggest going with 95s and skip the 97s. The 95 lines are much cleaner IMO.

Haha Shern I was just about to post something similar. I love how the '95 lights continue the line of where the trunk meets the bumper, some modded '95 tails would look sharp

Good choice on the wheels and looks like you've got a good base car. Excited to see how this build comes along.
