I've always wondered what a white-ish pearl job would look like on an "ek", and now I know. It looks good

the bay and exterior of the car look great, but the interior doesnt quite match, quality wise, it seems half done with jsut a few add on parts. It needs a more complete look to the interior, just my opinion.

i agree, the car will be having an interior make over with roll cage and maybe diiferent seats. i have a couple of ideads im gonna play with to match up with the rest of the car. with so much money spend on everything else the interior just had to stay the way it is. A couple of other parts will also will be getting added on like after market calipers and some more suspesion stuff.
