I live in Akron but am in Lancaster often since my brother lives there and I work near there. I don’t know of any other Saturns like that around though. Thanks for the positive feedback guys, the goal has always been and always will be, OEM+. ---

> [@theblue](#): > > projector retrofit into the stock headlights would be a good project for this. I don’t think I’ll be going that far, but I think I’ll be getting some eBay headlights, simply because they have all clear lenses and chrome insides. I want the cleaner look than the stock ones with the weird ripply glass. Oh and some other stuff I forgot about, mainly cosmetic: All red tinted tails Clear front side markers (led) Cobalt lip Shaved front bumper (license plate mount holes) I also re sprayed both front and rear bumper covers last year at school Hood lift struts 3rd gen door panel and center console swap (all parts sourced from m&m u pull) ---

Thanks guys, it’s a great platform for going low on, all independent suspension, the front subframe is like a pair of skis that hang a good inch below the oil pan, and the fenders self clearance because plastic. I’ve learned so much working on/with these cars and they are a great car to learn how stuff works on, plus they’re unique to say the least. ---

Here’s some better interior shots from last summer. Current seats are from a 97 coupe, hence the rear center cup holders. I got really lucky in that the door panels (from a 3rd gen 10th anniversary edition car) have the same material on them as the back of the 97 coupe seats. Don’t mind the stock 18 wheeler shifter. ![http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/18/4ysubaqe.jpg](http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/18/4ysubaqe.jpg) ![http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/18/qaryjase.jpg](http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/18/qaryjase.jpg) ![http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/18/unu7y5y3.jpg](http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/18/unu7y5y3.jpg) ---
