Nice, tan really sets off the interior. As for the rims I'd go down to Auto Zone and get some graphite spray paint for rims and shoot a few coats on and then a few coats of clear and you'll be set. Welcome by the way, good to see others recyle.

I must be too old to know what "dank" is but I agree with the darker colored rims on a black 1st gen. I aslo am partial to polished alum mesh types on a black car.

Maybe chrome or polish those gold rims?

I like the gold (aka: Bronze color) mesh type wheels. Just need to slam the car, not ricer style.

Looks great man!

Man, that tan interior is swanky!

Very nice car. Keep those rims, they're cool and suit the car quite nicely, IMHO.

Are those BBS wheels?

They look like it.

I like the Rotor Wheels myself. Wish I had some of those.

wow, actually i know you all can't tell from the picture, BUT the car isnt black, its emerald green. its nice to hear some positive feedback about the car, especially from ppl who know what they're talking about.
and for the rims, they're PRIME rims i dont really think it matters though i am hoping to get some $ and get some chromed out beauties.

LOL god damn you and your lowering obsessive compulsive haha

As for the car, VERY clean. I am especially loving the custom interior... the pics seriously make it look like ur car is black, so that is why i think the tan and black go together brilliantely, but i don't know about green...

It's okay. I was plagued with gold rims when i got my car... first thing i did was spraypaint those babies... but again, i don't know what goes well with green...

Overall man, you got a very clean looken car and we (i hope) all look forward to seeing you on the forum and getting that pretty lil thang down and dirty with performance.

yeah i'd get some shots of the interior, but i'm doing work on the front dash, i took out the electric windows and the regulators and replaced them with manual ones so the electronics in the center console are ripped out and being replaced with a cup holder. lol. also taking pix means i'd have to vacuum and im quite lazy when it comes to that ****.
