unfortunately for now i am keeping the headlights. i have the projector high beams as well to match. tight on cash with all this work getting done so the headlights n tails will come soon. and yes i was thinking 97-98ish tails or saw some smoked 2 toned ones on ebay, top black bottom red which i think would match the car.

I actually really like your Advans you have on it currently.

Zach, the red/clear and red/smoke tail lights look decent on eBay, but not so much installed. Theres a thread on them around here, decide for yourself. Anything 95+ OEM would look great IMO. Keep us updated, can't wait to see it finished.

You should come out to one of the Toronto meets this spring if you're ever around the GTA.

Ya ill definitly check out what you mean on those tails, i saw em on a car on here and was iffy about em after seeing them. but yes OEM lights will be an option or get the 91's and darken em out.

And yes id be very interested in the GTA meet, im just near niagara falls so itd be like 2 hours for me but well worth it. keep me posted or are there any threads or sites?

thanks again for all the input. im pumped to get this done too

I dont like the ricer head/tail lights. oem headlights and 97+ tails would look very nice. The rims are really cool tho, but not in gold. If those rims were glossy black they would match the car and look nice. As for the paint job, i dont like your choice. The 2 toned color might look nice on a muscle car but i really am not fond of it on a sc. I'd just paint the car black or maybe blue since that looks really sporty.

the car is gonna be a show car (somewhat). so the color scheme was my choice and every has their favorites.. i have never seen maybe muscles cars two tone. its not gonna be exactly like the photoshop its just an idea, the black may also be on the front bumper more, and ya the headlights have been discussed, those came on the car when i got it.

and the rims i have on it now will be gone. have 20x8.5's for the front and 20x10's in the rear.. XXR 06's black with polished lip.

ordered Seibon TSII carbon fiber hood.

she'll be painted in the next 2 weeks and ill have updates

Paint scheme is similar to M34LNCH's car. Aside from the obvious lights, car is looking pretty good.
