Wow nice IROC man. The only one thing i dont like is the stripes and the big IROC sticker on the winshield (jmo tho) Everything else is a killer tho. The interior is super clean and nice. The paint looks in great cond, The system is also insane as well! Goodjob

also love your gauges, did you make those?

also i dont think you need new rims. They can just be polished really good and can be shining in no time

Looks good to me. I like the stripes, but they are a bit wider along the decklid.

....Black headlight pockets would look good, of course it's a matter of opinion.

Keep the wheels!

Thanks for all the kind words guys...

For those of you who have noticed, the stripes are spaced out more on the decklid, because the shop who put them on thought they had to go around the third brake light and didnt want to cut the vinyl to fit. O well, its not that big a deal.

The "Green" Filters are suprisingly really good. I heard a lot of great things about them from friends and local car guys, so I decided to choose them over the K&Ns. Pretty nice increase in throttle response and the price wasnt too bad. I recomend them to anyone who is interested.

Lastly, I have tried to clean the wheels with everyting imaginable, but it looks like the brake dust and grease has permeated the surface of the wheel... the wont come clean! Any suggestions on how to get them looking new again?

More comments on the car are also welcome. Thanks guys!

did you try polishing them? Usually you hav to really work good at it. But for your brake dust i suggest Ceramic brake pads. Theyre not 100%, but they leave lil dust and its better and cleaner then reg pads. Also heres a section about cleanin your wheels, hopes this helps https://www.thirdgen.org/newdesign/tech/wheels.shtml

when u say 5% tint on ALL windows, u dont mean the windsheild right? Cause if you do, you wont beable to see a thing at night, or in the day time in the rain.

Have you tried Eagle 1 A2Z Wheel Cleaner? Its in an orange bottle. It worked great on my rims. If not, you can always polish them up.

The HVAC and Shifter on mine dont light up at night, although I think I installed the Shifter wrong and it can be lit up. I hardly notice it though and its really not too big a deal.
