So here is my plan for my 96 GS.

She already has:
Upper strut tower bars (painted racing red)
PRN intake
NGK Plug Wires
Plantinum Plugs
Replaced Shifter Knob
Black Altezza tails
Universal Exhaust
Silvania Cool Blue 9004 Headlight bulbs
6.5" Pioneer Speakers in the front

What I want to add is the following:
Replace CV boots (they are getting to that point)
Going to a sport clutch (already got it, just needs installing)
Going to SS clutch line (already got it, just needs installing)
Hella Micro DE Fog Lights (cut holes in the OEM bumper for them, set them nice)
Red leather shifter boot (already ordered, awaiting delivery)
Go to red silicone hoses in engine compartment
Clarion CD Player (getting the deck free from a friend)
Grounding wire install
Removing the hood deadening material and paint the inside of the hood with flames
Painting the valve covers and intake manifold. Possibly some airbrush work on it too. (I would do it myself)

Now for the stuff I am considering:

I like the 96 GS rims, but I want 'em shinier. I am thinking about getting them chrome plated then clearcoated (to keep the shine).

I am also thinking about getting my calipers powdercoated red. I found a place, Hudson Plating, that appears to do both. Has anyone else tried them? I am thinking about asking if they wanna give the club a possible discount (or advertise on my car for a discount or something).

I'm also thinking about ripping out the interior door fabric and going to red leather to match the boot (or vinyl), this would continue through the rear compartment (where the "armrests" are there).

Oh yeah, I also want to put a decal on the sunroof, so when openned someone in front can see it... but I need ideas as to what I should put on there. Any ideas? My current colour scheme is red on black.

ok... a couple updates:

1) I got the vinyl to do my interior
2) talked to a chromer, they will not do rims :( oh well, metal polish here I come
3) I found a powder coater, still need to talk to him though.
