Whiite with the silver and yellow pins is one of the rarest Iroc combos. Worth something? ...probably not, but it's got a certain coolness factor.

I'd leave it!

The under side of the car will be painted as well. the front cross member is coming out tomorrow and going to the powder coaters. And yes it will be a show car that is driven daily. No sense in spending a lot of money for a garage queen!

I'm keeping it pretty much stock. There will be a few subtle changes that only a purest would notice other than the color.

You should get some of the 4th gen leather seats and get the recovering kit that is two tone, black and white it would really look awesome in that car. Like your color.
