The car looks great. Wheels look much better with 4x4 delete. Exhaust tips look huge, but I think I like it.

Waiting on the rear lips to come back from powder coat. While waiting I swapped out the crappy stock steering wheel for a Momo wheel and also finished up installing Hella Micro De fogs.

I'm being picky, that looks like a 93-96 dash in there. Your best option price wise is to paint the dash withatte finish black duplicolor vynl and fabric paint. I actually did mine with the dash still installed in the car and it came out great, figured no one would buy a factory gray dash assembly anyway so what did I have to lose. 4 years later and mine still looks factory
