Nice clean looking car. Enjoy it. I have the 17 inch cups and 18 BBS on their way. I don't thing 19's look right on the older car.

You got a great deal, and I love how you dove straight into making the car your own! The jealousy is real over here. Please keep this thread going for inspiration!

They do look kinda big in the above photos. (It may just be the perspective of the picture.)

But if you like 'em, rock 'em!

To turbo scoop and led fog and not to do, is the question…. Got one from retrofit shop, will see how it looks. If i like the lenses better, i will put them up for sale.

dropped the car off at the bodyshop again for Ducktail and caliper paint (Guard red).

Love it! I have a 95 C2 and am also putting on the EU front bumper. Dropping it off tomorrow. Ended up with the Suncoast kit but it includes everything.

Can't wait to see the ducktail, I was debating the ducktail vs RS wing for my car.
