Stopped up at Swerve today and met Paul. He is a real cool guy and gave me a great deal on mounting and balancing the wheels. I would definitely recommend him to everyone. Anyways, I put them on, I think they look really good. I took some pics and also a few of my dads car. Let me know what you think.

Right after I pulled it out of the garage:

Stock looks 10x better IMO.

Black with a polished lip :tdown:

Nice classic aircooled hotness though.

thanks everyone. I took it out for a bit today, nice to drive it instead of the cavalier. Boost is so nice :). The car has alcohol injection and I only have the boost turned up to about 15. It can handle around 22-23 before the stock turbo is out of its efficiency range. I’m gonna turn it up once spring time comes around. I also have to take care of some header leaks because the stock headers are notorious for cracking, but other than that its running great.

My dad says its worth around 25k, if it would sell for that much or more I am not really sure but it is a pretty cool car. Hes had it for all my life so I’ve always had a Porsche bias :roll: as far as euro cars go.
