I bought this car back in October 2010 and have been changing it ever since. and yes i know i need a new top. i think the person that had it before cut it maybe it was repoed from them cause the back seems are straight like a perfect cut but idk.

Bought it stock.

Haha that makes sense then..

Oh btw the tops on these for the most part are POS. I have a spyder and my top is falling apart. It was replaces once by the previous owner. I haven't started looking into how much a new top would be but I am hoping around $700 dollars. I am waiting for the thing to fall apart on me.

If you have any tears in the top I suggest you take it to an upholstery shop and see what they can do.. If it start ripping around the back window on the top they can't do anything and told me to just go to walmart and buy some black glue or adhesive to make it look better.

Lol I would've taken the emblems off to paint them. Look at treeheads eclipse to see what he did with your tailights you might like it

Another NC member! Welcome:wavey:
Good decision on every mod you've made so far
Except for the turn signals, I would've gotten the black housed ones to match your head and tail lights
but they do look pretty dark in the recent picture though, Dont know why.
Hate the wheels though... Great start though:bigthumb:

The turn signals came as a packaged deal with my head lights so i didnt have much choice and they werent very expensive. plan to tint or niteshade (dont really know the difference between those) asap.
