Nice!
What exactly did you have in mind for the interior and what
pieces (if any) are you parting/switching out?

congrats on the pick up. nice color (though i'm a bit partial, i must say)
can't wait for the updates to see how it all turns out. keep us posted.
did you ever think about debaging? i think i'm going to do that to mine.
that color shines so well that almost anything on it is a distraction. just a thought...

Thumbs up

Nice man.

So it is not black cherry as we originally thought. That color is almost non existant out west. At least I haven't seen one recently. I trust the caliper issue was taken care of huh?? Glad it was not too damaging. Good luck on the upgrades...we'll trust you will us abreast as it progresses-

ya it ended up costing me 1,000 to fix the caliper. because ihad to buy a caliper, rotor, vacuum plate, new pads, shim kits, caliper bolts, evrything was missing ... the caliper took the pads and tore the vaccume plate completely into a ball, the rotror was extremely damaged.. so it took some money but it all works good now..... i love this car.. so much more power than my gs300...

the MODDING bug has been in me since i sold my old car.. ill be poisting some pics of the parts i have gathered since selling my old GS soon.. lots and lots and lots of stuff...

Sweet Color...

Actually, I have seen quite a few Cinnabar's around town here in Tampa since I picked mine up... 2-3 others.

Congrats on the buy!
