DAMN! I need a 4 bay garage like that. I thought 3 was going to be enough for me but turns out it's not.

Garage is like HP... its never enough lol.. that turned out way bigger than what it was going to be. But im glad, And to make it work with the house there is one under it too

but its packed full. there is a truck down there and all my grandparents everything from when they past away. The game plan was a lift and all but never got it put in..

whats your all thoughts on those wheels in chrome? I like blacked out like my sububran but, but not sure how that would look on the convertiable.. they just look a lot longer than coupe for some reason..

Personally I like the polished OEM wheels. This is one of the first cars in a long time that I can remember where I left the OEM wheels alone.

If it were me, I would keep the wheels. Add a little vinyl to the bow tie in the center cap. You would be surprised at how well that makes the wheels look and it only costs about $10. Then I would powdercoat your brake caplipers red and add the big Brembo stickers. That will really pop on the black. Just my opinion though. That's alot cheaper than a new set of wheels as well.

very true, i havent given the car much attention.. im trying to get my sububran project finished.. Those wheels are like a blackish gray.. I figured they would be bright silver..

There is a camaro in town that did the brakes and it makes them look 10 times bigger in bright red. Years ago i did my stock brakes on a toyota supra in Viper red with black supra sticker then clear coated them.... they turned out well.

Then you have the Midnight Silver wheels from the RS pkg and not the polished wheels.

Do the brakes, add the vinyl bowtie, add and SS if that's your thing, and if you really want to make the car stand out add some white or silver stripes. Do the stripes with vinyl and you can remove them if you wanted to...plus it's alot cheaper than paint.

I couldn't find some of my pics I really wanted but here is a somewhat close up of what I did.

By default an RS came with Midnight Silver wheels or you could order polished wheels for an extra $500. Polished wheels are an option.

I was assuming it was to reset the codes for the mass airflow sensor, but not sure. I am a DIY'er and I like to follow instructions.

Glad I did, now I know where the battery is!
