Cool Cosmetic improvements have begun!
Well, today has been filled with the beginings of my 97's cosmetic improvements.

I ordered my wheels this morning from American Muscle. I went with the 17x8 Chrome Bullitt style rims, chrome acorn lug nuts and chrome acorn locking lug nuts. Not exactly origional, I know, but ya gotta admit, those are some dang good looking wheels.

I ordered my tires from Firestone. I am getting 245/45/17 Bridgestone Potenza G009's. Decently priced performance/all season tire. Plus they will give me a 10% military discount WHOO HOO!

Also, from American Muscle, I ordered a set of the chrome clear headlights. Mine are pretty fogged up right now and these should be a clean addition.

Going in this afternoon to have the windows tinted. Nothing drastic, but thinking about 30-35% all around.

Now I just have to find a factory style spoiler from a reputable source that can paint it Laser Red and have it match decently.

That's all the plans I have for it for now...for now.

Once again, a huge thanks to AMNick for PM'ing me a discount code on my American Muscle order. Gotta love discounts!!

I hope to be able to post pics of the progress soon!

damn right those are some good looking wheels!

i can't really say i'm a huge fan of the lone chrome tip lol. but hey i think your car is going to come together quite well. i might suggest a dual exhaust so it sounds as good as it looks
