I did mod number three yesterday afternoon. This car was a lot easier than my xi was.

Trying to find a retailer that will give me a good price on them ( cough cough)!! the Boss lady is sweating me about buying wheels when we have a wedding and honeymoon looming in 2 months.

Yes I did it myself. I did my xi as well. I rebuild motors and such for fun. I am pretty good with a wrench. LOL I also build custom audio systems as well as interior work.

I am currently designing my layout for my system in this car. I will also be doing suede headliner and I may change my seats a bit. Then painting the trim Piano black instead of the wood trim.

Anyone know what kind of rims these are?

I might not go all the way, but I'd tea-bag those rims for sure! :lol:

Marquies, how does the car ride since the drop now that you had them on for a week? I had my eibachs installed today and it looks great, a little rake from front to rear but I noticed the ride is a bit bouncy in front and I wonder if that will go away once the springs settle a little more or if thats because of the lowered ride but keeping the same struts?
