I am holding off on the modding right now, but within the next few years I want to have a polished magnuson supercharger installed.

Just finished doing the flush mounted taillights. Ordered some two tone leather stuff from redline, gonna do the aluminum gauge bezels, and steering wheel and airbag lettering decals. Also gonna be ordering the ss inserts for the front and back, and getting quotes for painting the lower rear fascia black and will decide later to either paint or use that vinyl graphics kit that PFYC now carries. That's for the immediate future but certainly not the end of it...

Default What a fever!

Sound/heat insulation under the carpeting and the vinyl decal above the exhaust. This will be it for a while. I had to make a withdrawal from my savings plan!
