This weeks project ....with progress
Looks good reminds me of my vert transformation, I didn't do it all at once though like you did. But I was looking at the picture I took when I bought it today and it looks ALOT different now.
As far as lowering it, verts can be funny. Here is what I did and I think it turned out good although I have a combination factory ground effects with RK sport spoiler so I didn't want to go too low.
I did BMR springs up front for 120 shipped from speedinc. and the rears I took the isolater out and replaced with rubber hose. I added Bilsteins from a non sponser and the ride is night and day. Also did a Panhard rod adj, LCa's and SFC.
I like the tonneu covers I just don't know that I'd leave my car with the top down that much....
On the seats the link that was provided are much cheaper than recovering the stock ones. I'm torn between those and the TA seats, the rest of my interior is being converter to ebony I just need the door panels. I also got a 2002 black top too...
Be sure to post up updates on the car!!!

The tonneaus can be pulled out in less than 10 mins, if it rains - then you can just store them in the back seat (provided you dont have a huge box/amp there already.) be sure to carry a nice (non-shedding) blanket to wrap them in. Otherwise if you are going someplace that you need to remove them to secure the car, I just place one in the front seat and one in the rear and thats about 5 mins tops.

Im waiting to find someone that does decent hand pin striping in my area (wausau, WI). There are some flaws in the stripes - from pulling the tape after painting, Im thinking of putting a red or yellow pinstripe on the edge of the blue paint. If there is someone that is really handy with paintshop, id appreciate a few views of the car with them on.
