Upgrades

It needs shocks and I will provably put a RB exhaust system on it. I have some LE wheels that I am going to have powder coat black and silver and they are going on it as well. Other than that I think I am going to live it alone.

quick update

Got the wheels powdered, (not the best job ever, but for $150 I won't complain much). Replaced the shocks and struts, (which needed a serious replacement), with Tokicos blues and the springs with RB reds. Did a brake job all aroung and put a strut brace in it. Took it out for a quick drive and realized what a sweet car it is.
