The picture about is of my car when it belonged to a man in maryland... I believe. I bought the car from Patterson, NJ and after finding this picture amongst these forums i became very interested in finding the owner who once truly cared about her. Heres some other pics of the interior!

Ripped seats, stained carpet, and rediculously rigged amp/sub set up needed saving

Finally got all the components for my steering wheel, came up with a groovy box to hold my head unit and wrapped it with some left over carpet from the rear space, chopped up a foam cup holder that i found browsing around pepboys really pulled the interior together:

Nice vert man I have one myself. Black like yours its a 1990 though. I think you have an S4 vert which they only made an S4 for a year. So you have a 1988. I can tell because not only do your bumpers have rubber trim the entire car does. Someone swapped to S5 tails. Where in NJ are you? I live right near Phillipsburg,NJ.

No problem. Well its definitely possible the previous owner swapped everything over to S4 but usually people swap the s4 trim for s5 trim. Easy way to tell is the intake manifold design and the gauge cluster faces are different. S5's redline at 8k where S4's do at 7k.
