See whats drivin me crazy is how small my front tires are. The rears are perfect. I think. But right now I have 205/35/17 in the front. I was to know the biggest I can go. I was hoping a 215 or maybe a 225/45. But my problem is I think I either have the 7in or 7.5in wide front wheels

Anyone know if I could run any of the sizes? Or am I stuck with the ****ty size tires till I can get some new ones.

So havent really been doing much lately. But thats all about to change hopefully. Today I pulled out the dash and cleaning things up and replacing the carpet with carpet from stockinteriors.com. That should be here some time next week Im hoping. Im going to redo some of the interior in suede, like the glove box, arm rest, and the door panels so that should be sick. Probably start that too next week. Ill post pics up tomorrow when I get a chance.

Also picked up some rocker arm stoppers today.

Also is anyone has the vents on the top of the dassh next to the window I need them.... Mine came out in 5 peices
