I like the wheels.

The chrome wheel well trim pieces really, ah, emphasize the gap between tire and fender.

Probably a muffler with deep powerfoul sound on high rpm but quiet and calm sound on low rpm. Also a new radio next week and maybe some better(louder) speakers. A rear spoiler and finally a new steering wheel.

And by the way wheels are done

Well as I said before I have wider rims than most so they still rub on the tightest turns and I assume my front spoiler is lower than yours now. Here in denver it's rare to ever find a flat street to avoid the floods that snow, rain, and hail causes and believe me there are potholes everywhere here. A 2 year old street here look like a 20 years old street in L.A.---its torcher what water and freezing temperatures do to streets. Heck even with the stock springs back on there is still slight scrapping if I back straight out of my garage/driveway thingy.

Sorry Berti you do have wider rims but I do have wider and taller tires so there is the compromise. my rears for a year and a half have been 235/40r18 and front is at 225/40r18, but will be converting my rears to 225/45r18 soon. Well look at my bumper thread I guess from here.

I also ordered a 350mm steering wheel. I just hate the one my car has. Does anyone else have one? Will I see the instrument cluster clear?

The car looks much better already. Noticed how the guy on ebay changed the bumper together with the grill to trick buyers (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/86-93...ayphotohosting)

Thank you man. Keep watching this thread. New items ordered. And lots still to come.

BTW: That's why I didn't buy from him in the first place. I couldn't trust him
