Looks very clean, however, i have to disagree with your whole Italian banner on your rear windshield. How very very tacky.

whats up with that cell phone antenna?

You are loosing half the signal by blocking it with the body. It should be at the top of the windsheild or hatch... not the bottom.

although I typically don't like white wheels, they work well on the car. and Nice shine

Drop the cell antenna alltogether.

Use adapters from radio shack and use the windshiled antenna for the cell.

that adapters get bulky, but the work like a charm!

Im a stickler for doing things right, but I did it this way and i get great signal and no extra antennas to rip off or advertise my cellular setup.

I can go throught washes without worry too!

A) the cell phone antenna serves no purpose, but if I take it out there will be a hole in the rear glass

B) The Italian banner, came with the car and since I'm Italian I didn't bother to take it off, it will soon be replaced by a 1" X 10" Racing Beat sticker

but thanks for all your advice anyways guys, this forum has done nothing but help me ever since I bought this car

There shouldn't actually be a hole in the glass. There was a cell antenna on my winter POS, which was just adhered to either side of the glass. A bit of friendly persuation, and it came right off.
Can't say I like the pin stripes either, but the car looks nice and clean. Good luck with the rebuild.

Unless the cell antenna is coveing up a hole already in the glass, there won't be a hole for it.

You don't drill the glass to install a glass mount cell antenna. It works by induction through the glass.

Dammit I'm an idiot

The tires are Yokohama A520s I think and the rims are OZ Racing rims, they only cost me $80/Rim which allowed me to buy the exhaust for the car too

yeah the pinstripe sucks but it came on the car because the previous owner had and accident and the body shop put them on so they didn't have to "blend" the old paint with the new
