Here's my take on it. Keep the car and slowly work on it . Get a DD beater to take care of you meanwhile.
That's what i ended up doing. Now my car runs fine,but i'm driving gutted because i'd rather have no interior than that ripped up and nasty one i had. lol

I'm. Not. Selling.
Now that that is out of the way.
Mechanically the car is sound. Runs great, drives great. Its amenities, creature comforts, etc. that need repaired/replaced.

From what I have read sounds like its mostly the interior and electrical problems you are experiencing......
Have you tried taking the car to an upholstery shop and have them re-do ur seats.
Cluster buy a used working one and send it off to lextech (i think is the name of the company who redoes the lights in our clusters)
but thats optional and I think they can redo the AC screen also....
I cant remember the other things cuz every body was writing a book and I got tried of ready HAHA
Good luck with your build man

I'll continue driving it, as mechanically it is sound, and just fix it as I go.

That a good idea, I'll have to check and see what that would cost me.
Does lextech sell whole clusters, or only redo them?
Thanks for the advice!

Alright, here is a future mod list/plans.
Gut interior and reinstall. Not sure if I want to stay stock tan or try and go black.
Panasonic double din GPS radio.
Lextech lighting on gauge cluster and AC controls, just stock colors.
JIC Magic body kit
Enkei EKM3 rims 18x8 rims
BCRacing Coilovers and camber kit, 1" drop
97+ Fog lights, yellow tint
HIDs up front
97+ tail lights
Strip "L" badges, replace with red griffin
After that, I'll move onto motor modifications. I would like to eventually boost it, and get into the 300-400 rwhp range.

Lextech Lighting Systems <bcrowder19@comcast.net> "So we like crying like a baby to people, eh? Two can play games if you want to be a pissy little girl that cries to people when things don't go their way. That don't fly in big boy world."
Nice customer service, right?

Lextech has no obligation to anyone who bought their product second-hand. It's that way for any company. Something tells me the beginning of that exchange would shed more light on their statement.
