Chrome 5 spokes of an 02+... and if you're lucky you can find some clear corners on ebay.

I love these wheels.

Tinted windows, tinted tails, maybe clear corners. Can you post a pic of your car?

You can get VHT anywhere in the world by ordering it.

Which car in my sig. The green one, or the green one? ;)

Can you put your location in your profile and put '95 SSE' in your signature so we can help you easier in the future?

Look through our Car of the Month Archive and see if there's anything you like.

Hey man, are you at the U of L?

I sold my 1994, but there are pics of it in the links in my sig. I did tint (35% all around, never had a problem with police, even though it's technically illegal), clear corners (off of ebay), mesh grill (from a member on here, I'm sure someone would make you one), and debadged.

Other thing I was considering was new exhaust tips, as I put a Flowmaster muffler on it.

ya im at the u of l and mesh grill i was lookin at my car last night and thought about that. and im in for an alberta meet maybe in the spring!

BillBoost37 12-18-2006 02:17 PM

Also...you know there is something nice about not having the aftermarket parts to make the car look fast. It's the "I'm not pulled over getting a ticket" feeling.

Most people don't think anything of our family sedans and the cops only like one member in Minnesota.

Stumped? Im just putting that out in the open on the whole grandpaish comment..not all about the look ;)
Anyways, Id love to do an Alberta meet, that would be lots of fun.
Tons of little mods you can do to the exterior of these, I like Driverjohns custom VHT job/clear job he did on his tails, check that out.

Ryan 12-18-2006 07:03 PM

What are you taking at U of L?

I'd be up for an Ab mini-meet, give me enough warning and I can probably borrow my old Bonne from my brother, or at least get him to come.

eeseen racing 12-18-2006 09:34 PM

im taking marketing, and ya i would be pumped for a meet as well with some notice
