....and tons of parts came falling from the shooting fire!
Actually i figured since everyone else was givin updates i would let you guys see what i've been up to the past couple weeks.
First off, new rims! w00t w00t! 18"x7.5" Riax 5G in Gunmetal with Polished Lip and Center Cap. I've wanted these rims for atleast two years and this summer i had a feeling i had to get these rims before they would be hard to get. I like the fact there not popular and have a racey look to them. Also when i first saw these on Laffs sunfire just added more desire to these rims.. they seemed to fit perfect.. so i knew even more i wanted these even more from when i first saw them in a car show in florida.. So i've always kept a eye on them and saved my money to get them, checked summit one day for price on them and they were discontinued the weekend before, and there were only 4 available on order.. So i knew it had to be a sign so i ordered em and here they be. Prolly wont put em on till next spring when i can get some rubber for em, but couldnt beat the price($332 shipped) Although one of the center caps is knicked up from getting loose in the box, all i did was call up Summit and they have a new one being sent to me! For those of you who dont know Summit Racing is great business to deal with.
Also.. here are pics that keep reminding me i need a damn garage.. I'm moving to Ft Wayne soon enough which has a 2 car garage so i guess i can wait but here are some parts and projects i got going on.
Door Panels, the two up front are the ones im using, they will be painted black, and the arm rests and cubby pockets will be wraped in black cloth.
Some projects are pictured here:
- Headliner, my old one behind the new one that will soon be wrapped in black cloth also
- Custom taillights in process, you will just have to wait to see these when done
- in the tote are misc interior pieces already painted the black im using
Also notice i have a collection of AC Knobs 
and random parts stacked in the corner
Completed Rear deck wraped in black cloth, with 5yrds of cloth on it to use for everything else, also my stock dash cover is behind it soon to be wrapped
Here you can see my 2.3L HO Intake Manifold i got off Rob Weis a while back, need to port match it but it wont go on this current engine.. itll be put on with the built engine when i get that project going.
You'll see my 00 Center Console in this pic, the armrest will be wrapped in the black cloth and then the console will be painted also. My Collection of AC Vents 
the panels that go in behind the back seat. And also some old parts just hangin around..
Import Fighter Side Skirts i got off Dennis(Grimor), there both there just put together, also the pass one is broken so before they go on, ill have to pick up a good pass one sumwhere.. but hey $50 bucks for them was a great deal.
Import Fighter Rear Bumper i got off Joey(Joeydabomb), great deal and no problems with it other then whoever was the original owner needs to learn how to paint.. had to take it down to bare urethane because whoever painted it the gold color thought it would be ok not to scuff up the bumper or primer the bumper before paint.. so the paint was just chipping off..
Freshly wrapped visors with painted vanity mirrors(no pic of mirrors sorry), also you can see my newly added rear view with map lights
Also to go along with the new headliner and rear view i wired in the single bulb for the single bulb dome light in the headliner..
*Not pictured, i have the rear side panels all sanded ready for paint.. I'll prolly take it in with the console and door panels so i can get it all in the booth and painted at once..
Figured i'd throw up some current pics too, No scenery cuz its not much to look at right now.. I sold my Ram air hood to Eric Francis.. After a long thought of what i wanted the car to look in the final stage i realized the ram air hood wasnt part of it so i sold it to someone to put it to good use. Plan to be sporting a whole new look soon as i get it lowered.. I have a new front bumper in the shed waiting to go on but i want to lower the car first.. Every time i look at it i want to put it on so i had to put it somewhere i wont see it lol.. once the car is lowered itll be the next thing to go on..
Here is pic of interior.. Momo hub and "Bride" wheel added.. Also my neighbor gave me some free 5ΒΌ Jenson speakers.. and since i blew my soundstorm 4x6s i replaced them with these.. So with these Jensons and my Soundstorm 6x9s it sounds acceptable for me but it will soon be changed to Alpine.. Also i recently found a antenna adapter for free so i installed it.. so i havent had a chance to take my time and go back in and remount my headunit.. so its sticking bout a inch further then normal.. Also the bezel is painted the black i will be using for everything else so u can kinda see what it will look like.. The interior is messy now with everything going on.. but almost everything in there right now will be replaced so im not worrying about it..
and figured i'd just show off my glow some more
Next week i will be ordering a few more things
Corvette 8" Antenna to replace my shortened stock one for better reception
and more LEDs.. replaceing all interior bulbs i can with LEDs.. Dome light, map lights, license plate light, trunk light, glove box.. All green except the map lights will be white.
Once thats done all funds will be saved for some Coilovers..
Such a long post eh? sorry lol
Also i have a few things for sale listed here, as you can see i need the room lol
Any comments welcome..

Aren't the visors a bitch?

RIP JESSE GERARD.....Youll always be in my thoughts and prayers...
Ya got the rims, huh? They are pretty nice. I don't see how you can wait to put them on! I'd have them babies on my car the same day I got them. lol But I'm impatient like that, ya know.
Good job so far! Plan on getting a different hood in the future?

BradSk88 wrote:Aren't the visors a bitch?
Eh, they werent to bad.. just figuring out how to get em apart was a pain.. cuz i pulled out the staple thinkin theyd fall apart lol.. but then i realized it was glued so i took a metal ruler and pryed em apart seperated teh arm and vanity mirror from it.. painted those black and then wrapped the visor and put it back together with some gorilla glue...

Thanks man, it actually wasnt hard at all.. in the wires coming from the a-pillar.. there is only 3 wires.. the mirror connects all 3 wires to it.. and if u put a one bulb dome light there is only 2 wires from that but all the colors match and just wire em in.. Here is a post on how i explain how i did it..

I cant wait but i need to get tires for em now.. but also i dont really wanna put them on without lowering.. for some reason i dont mind the wheel gap i got now.. well i do but its not killing me.. but if i put the 18s without it id just feel weird lookin at it..
And yeh plannin to get the CarbonbyDesign Turbo Sport hood.. but honestly.. i miss my ram air hood.. atleast with the rest of this front end..
I think it looks so nice with the hood here
