Hey, to each their own right? But i'm peeling the black prior to SOWO and prob doing "intense teal" with the pearlizer just to be different lol- prob going gunmetal or anthracite after that until i can get some diff wheels.

Ya, do whatever the heck you want to your car, it's YOUR car. I just don't personally dig those wheels.

B5Audi- I actually really like e30s, if I didn't get an Audi I probably would have been looking at them. I don't like them stock, but stanced they look goooood

Looks like we have the same car!

The rims are alright. Not bad looking. The exhaust was one of the first things I did. Couldn't stand sounding like a hybrid.

Depends what you want to do. More HP get a tune, FMIC maybe, different intake, stereo, for outside appearance there's a bunch of different things that can be done, lowered, debadagged, rims, headlights, etc.

The rims look a bit too old school for my taste, but not bad. The options of upgrading this car is literally limitless

Full turbo back should run around $500. I did from about half way back to the exhaust. Stock pipe welded into 2.5 inch. I didn't feel doing the entire thing for $500 because it wouldn't make much difference and the shop said the same thing basically. I paid $350 and couldn't be more happy with it. I can always get the rest replaced but I don't see why I ever would unless it rusted out.

Try to find a local custom shop as they will give you the best work and price. At least my shop does. Much cheaper than buying some name brand exhaust online and the quality is always great from customs shops.
