So, here it is the start of this project. Story is that I bought it for $500 with blown motor (that's what the owner thought), towed it home and founf out a couple things. The motor is not blown, the timing is only off! it is so off that it's causing some ticking noise and flooding the engine with gas when you start the car. It also badly needs of brake lines, somehow the lines from under the floor board got rusted and he cut the rusted part (about 9 inches long) and patched or jerry rigged it. Also has a small dent on the passenger side back fender and created a small surface rust, this is an easy fix.
Things I bought already for upgrade so far.... GT4 front bumper (comes with Headlight bracket, fog light, and reinforcement bar that the fog light also bolts up to). Lowering Springs KYB Struts Interior stuff Oh! by the way...looking for a GT4 hood. Preferably a white one. Here some before pics....

Scale of 1-10 (1=Easy); how hard was it to apply properly? (no air bubbles, etc) I would say a 4 if you did it in a warm condition and 8-10 in the cold (below 60*). I started doing it at 67 F* and was doing well. Took me 3 hours and started to get later and colder. Then it started getting tougher when it got colder bc the vinyl the not stretch as easy and when I did blow it with the heat gun, the elasticity did not last long enough for me to shape it in place. So right now there is 1 or 2 imperfections. I have some spare wraps, and next time I'll do it in spring or summer. 60x54 is the safest bet in size, any shorter you may have a hard time with spare room to move and adjust.
