by the way, i was thinking of a name to call my car and i have and idea but i want to see if anyone can guess it. it was an old cartoon network show[ see pic below]

also im not sure if anyone else does this but i have found a great place to put cup holders if you don't want to really modify your car to much. in the center council up by the holder between the seats is a good place to put a set of those window cup holders that you can get at walmart or other stores that might sell these.

i forgot to post this pic but here is the gauges that i got [ matt got simlar ones but his are off a later model then mine]

i also wanted to ask this question. it will be a little time before i do this but when i go to paint my car, i have two colors in mind that i want to use. it will ether be candy apple red or candy plazma blue. i think ether one would look nice on my car but i can't decide. ether stick with a red color or go with a blue color. below are examples of the colors on a motor cycle [by the way the blue one is the same bike i have and is the reason why i thought the blue would look nice on my car]



heres a better pic of the blue one, the pic above makes the blue look really light when really its some what darker but not to dark. think of hot wheels blue with the matilc in it[this pic is of my bike]

also both colors a metalic based paints so the will shine very well in the sun
