Default TA facelift. Dialup go fix a sandwich.

I picked up the TA from the paint shop last week, and of course it promptly started raining. Today the sun finally put in an appearance, so I took a few pictures. Current plans are to add a couple downbars to the hoop, swap in some racing seats, and lower it about 1.5". I was not sure about painting the nostrils black, but I think the look is good. Opinions?

If these are too big, I can shrink them down some.

I like the nostrils too. I wasnt so sure when I saw the extreme closeup of them, but when I got to looking at the pics from far away, it looks good. Like the guy said above, "nice touch!"

Since they're not paying the peope who run this site, I don't think I am allowed to mention the name ofthe place that made the graphics. But the URL has a "3rd" and a "gen" and a "decals" in the name.

Cleaned up the tail lights and center section this weekend. I need a new drivers side light. The plastic is delaminating.
Polishing the wheels and putting the stripes on the trunk next week. And hopefully putting in the new seats too.
