just find a way to restore it, then you could either paint it urself with some specialized paint u could prob find at wal-mar or something. What type of performance parts you lookin for? i could prob help u out.

I feel ur pain on that interior man! Both my 88 and 89 have that maroon, and I'm not too happy about it. I'm actually in the process now of reupholstering (not painting) my entire interior to black, white, and greytones. All that, and a nice pair of Sparco Torino's (the B&W one's) and I'll be in business! Good luck! A decent place to start for that black interior is to hit up the local junkyards and see if you can find a black, or some burgandy 88 LX-i coupes and snag its interior. I say that b/c only in 88 they had a beige interior that was trimmed in black. It looked good, and just might be the ticket for you! Good luck, and keep us in the loop with you findings.

Hey guys thanx alot for all your input. That will at least give me a great place to start.

Also i was wondering about droping my car and getting new rims.
I already have decent rims but i want bigger ones.

should i get springs or coilovers?

Just tell me what you guys think.

Thanx
