I hear ya man, but I'm happy with it right now... even getting it was a stretch for me, so I am not about to go dumping money on it that I dont have to.
I would like... new wheels... new hood (bc of a dent) ... and repaint bumper (lots of chips)... but none of that is happening soon .. maybe never

The only other time I have seen them was on the loaner car from our local Pcar dealer a few years back.
Welcome to the group Hugh. I must agree with the others that you need to at least get some 17's when the budget allows. They're cheap.

*edit: just saw your post about the ding (those are usually from stuff flying inside the trunk and hitting the inside of it, i have like 3 on my trunk)

Welcome. I have to agree with other members.
Top of your list "TO DO" New Wheels - when you have the cash available.
Enjoy it

No, no, no. I think the first mod should be -
a new front license plate.
I think the car (and the wheels) look great.....

That's a classic Hugh. Great looking car. I wouldn't change a thing. I'd keep it as true to it's original condition as I could.

Thanks guys...
I am gonna keep it this way ... probably for as long as I have it. The wheels I dont mind so much... especially since the ride is so smooth and quiet, yet still handles great.
Oh, and I almost thought about selling the hard top just bc I had it in the garage for about 3 weeks.... but last weekend was rainy and boy did it come in handy.... the top looked beautiful on the car and the ride was INCREDIBLY quiet and comfortable.
As far as the front plate... I am still waiting for my new plates to come in... front and back. Taking entirely too long... I'm about to go yell at people at the dealership tomorrow to see if they actually sent off for them 6 weeks ago. (I've never had plates take this long.)
