I've decided to get a lighter wheel-and-tire package with factory-size rubber to make the car fee a bit lighter on its feet (I hope). Rota R-Spec 16x7 45mm offset with 5mm Wilwood spacers and 3D printed center caps to clear the front hub centers.

Integrated period-correct stereo components with a modern bluetooth hands-free kit and remote. The half-din at the bottom is a 3d-printed enclosure that has its own volume control and toggles for cut-in and auxiliary input for the portable CD player.

The Clarion has a CD din plug, which allows me to pass-through audio from another source. It also powers on an iSimple bluetooth hands-free kit and a modified bluetooth remote that uses a modified convertible audio panel as playback controls. The second button toggles auxiliary input for the portable CD player.

The period-correct Clarion Audia-2000E preamp-only headunit, Kenwood equalizer are back in the dash with a 3d-printed trim piece. The half-din unit at the bottom is a 3D-printed enclosure containing a couple of PAC TR-7 modules, two momentary push-buttons, an ALPs potentiometer, and a couple of circuit boards with audio-switching relays.

I also decided to go with new, lighter, 16x7 inch wheels with 5mm spacers to get the right offset with factory-sized rubber. These are Rota R-spec wheels in steel grey, 16x7 45mm. They include center caps that do not clear the front wheel hub centers, so new caps were made.

The paint i used. The texture didn't match the factory finish, so I don't recommend this if you're looking to match things perfectly.

I sanded the face with 150 and 320-grit to key the surface. I didn't really have a sanding block so I didn't get rid of all the lines.

Underside. The hooks hold the rear/bottom securely and it does hold the panel in place. But if you have a lot of stuff inside the center console, the front/top tabs may not be enough to hold the panel down.
