Thanks!!
This is a good time to announce my next project!!
Im going to pay the interior a little attention, i will be ordering a custom shift boot from redlinegoods.com, black leather with white quadruple stiching and 2 inches shorter to fit my short shifter. I will also be installing leds in my cluster and hvac, I also need a new light know as the previous owner super glued it on. I am also keeping an eye out for a decent driveshaft on craislist.
Do yall have any suggestions for any good cheaper mods?

Going for the blue gauges huh? I did it on mine, I think it cost me around $25 for the LEDs ( bought a few spares also). Looks good if you don't mind some dark spots on the gauges, as LEDs are very directional, and don't spread the light out alot. The HVACs turned out great though.
Very clean cars. Whos is that blacked out one? It's pretty sick. And the white calipers look great

I did this to my car a couple years ago and it looks so much better.
