SEE UPDATED PICS ON PAGE 4

Picked this up a few weeks ago from a member here on CL. Interesting to find one in this color as I had not seen this color before - and one with no sunroof at that. Car came with simple mods (tein springs and hid's) . Engine was overhauled by the techs @ JM and I had the interior redone by a shop near my area. Little nicknacks here and there. I'll update pics as i go along. wish me luck!

Where did you get the new seat cover/armrest cover from? How much if you don't mind sharing?

Welcome fellow antique bronzer.

Mines a '98 gs4 with black interior, spoiler and sunroof. I wasn't a big fan of the color when I first got the car but it does grow on you...kind of.

Suggest you get touch up paint from the dealer while it's still available.

thanks for the all of the compliments - it kind of ties the steering wheel in with the rest of the interior - until i can buy a wooden one.
