The car looks good so far, but take better pictures and post them up on here so I can actually see what your ride looks like with all those mods. One thing I do have to say is I don't really like your HVAC gauge cover thing, it doesn't fit well with the interior and doesn't match anything from the interior from what I can tell. Other than that, your mods seem pretty good man. :yesway:

Thanks guys for the input! I re-uploaded the pictures with image shack so they should be bigger now (hopefully not too big). If I get a chance I'll get a few pictures down on the river this weekend and get them on here. Corey16, I get what your saying with my HVAC lights. I originally just bought the knob covers but they sent me all of it so i didn't want to see it go to waste. I may take it off later on down the road.

Are you currently working on any mods right now? The car is clean, and I like seeing new members who actually have good taste in modding out their ride. Also I like seeing how you have a theme going on with the color of your car. I personally don't mind your speedometer gauge overlay, it actually looks pretty decent. It kind of reminds me of those Angel gauges. I personally have a indiglo speedometer gauge overlay and love it.

Yeah, I try to just keep it maintained and clean and when I get a long break I buy and mod. Well, my parents bought it for me when I was 17 years old. It was bone stock with a busted bumper and the stock wheel were in bad shape. the good thing was it hadn't been driven much and garage kept always.

Thank you very much! and as for the complaints about my splash guard missing. I managed to find the piece that was broken off because I came home this weekend from college. I put it back on until I have some money to order a whole new piece. the rivets were still there so the broken piece holds fine.

Okay, just a slight update...i was coming back to college and the whole splash shield ripped off on a country road. I am ordering a new splash shield tonight from ebay. I can't seem to find the plastic fasteners that hold it together. Can I just get those from autozone or something?

One other question, I noticed that my rpms are fluctuating and I looked in my engine bay to find some dry rotted/ cracked vacuum hoses. I have been looking for some silicon ones and found a few colors. Clear and silver are the ones I'm leaning toward, but I don't know if the clear ones will "milk up" after a while or not. What do you all think? I think they would look unique, but I don't want them getting all cloudy in a months time.
