Thanks Shane, I didn't know that :)

I thought about the clear indicators but then I thought that the orange matched the red better than a clear indicator will... but do it and then we can all see what its like :P

Made a decision and bought the wheels off Kosti. I think they look good.

Next I would like to find a front lip for it. Or maybe first focus on the interior and get a new cd player, even a screen.

How much did you lower that? It may be a problem if I lower mine thanks to the driveway at work. Many cars, including my old 626 have scraped even though it was stock height.
