My Craigslist Makeover
I had too much time over the Christmas holidays, so I decided to install a hood vent along with painted most of the trim black and the calipers red. I tried to tint the rear window, but that ended with a lot of cuss words and a huge ball of window tint in the trash….

I'm not a fan of the black wheel thing but that looks really good 👍 . Leave tinting to someone that does it all the time, that back window is difficult.

Here’s pics of the seats. In hindsight, I wouldn’t buy these again as they are too wide in the shoulders at 22”. As you can see the shoulder bolsters are overlapping the B pillar so they won’t recline any further. This spring I’m going to refresh the interior with new carpet, door panels, dash and seats.
The new seats will be Sparco R100. These are 19.7” wide at the shoulders and clear the B pillar.

Yep, they are C7 wheels. I had to use 75mm spacers. The good thing about the spacers is that it made the wheels hub centric instead lug centric. The ride is much smoother now. Ironically, they’ll be coming off in the somewhat near future as I want to get away from the spacers and put 19’s on all four corners.
