Other than that, tint windows at 35% and call it a day. ********PLEASE********* guide me in the right direction of simple, cheap, or free mods to make this car come alive. i want to turn some heads with this diamond i found... http://i654.photobucket.com/albums/uu266/fosgatenut03/1988%20Conquest%20TSi/myquest.jpg http://i654.photobucket.com/albums/uu266/fosgatenut03/1988%20Conquest%20TSi/myquest1.jpg Notice this picture it is sunnyhttp://i654.photobucket.com/albums/uu266/fosgatenut03/1988%20Conquest%20TSi/myquest2.jpg AND THIS IS CLOUDY, SHE BRIGHT WHITE!!http://i654.photobucket.com/albums/uu266/fosgatenut03/1988%20Conquest%20TSi/myquest3.jpg Painted the inside of the rims with fresh black and cleaned the machined face. http://i654.photobucket.com/albums/uu266/fosgatenut03/1988%20Conquest%20TSi/myquest5.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasQuest Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Nice looks like you scored some shp rims. You got a heck of a steal at 400 bux, especially since it runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
