    Welcome! Looks like a pretty clean vert. What are your plans for it?

      Thanks man!
      Looking to just clean it up a bit!
      Need to paint match the lip, fix up the interior, maybe a new steering wheel?
      ..for now

                Had one day of sunshine here in NJ over the weekend so I washed her up and took off the awful tint from the tail lights

                      Nice working removing the tints on the tails...those looked like garbage. Now you should replace those brutal roundels.

                      The paints shines really nicely, is it original?

                        Hahah! Previous owner put red vinyl over the blue so it was removed as soon as I got home! The paint is not original. I believe it was redone 2-3 years ago.

                          Updates!

                          Just a few updates!

                          Was stored for the brutal NJ winter so couldn't get much work done.


                          I took it out to drop it off to my buds at Hytuned in Linden, NJ to get my sound system redone. The P.O. had installed some cheap head unit and had the wiring all out of wack.
                          *Will post a pic soon

                          Recently bought a set of ESM 002r in Platinum. 16X8 ET20 for the front and 16X9 ET15 in the rear


                          Now she is currently sitting in Azevedo Motorsports to get a few things done
                          - Paint front lip
                          - all new suspension (bilstein & HR)
                          - power steering lines replaced


                          Will post an updated picture when its all done!

                            WOW our cars really are identical! I've heard about Azevedo Motorsport. Good old Portuguese flag hanging on the ceiling lol. I'm Portuguese as well and from what I heard I share the same first name as the owner. If I was told correctly his first name is Diogo?

                            Anyhow, good luck with the car! Do you have manual or power top? I'm also wondering how the suspension will feel since I've been looking around for something for mine but dont want to sacrifice quality. Was thinking Bilsteins with GC adjustable springs.
