    Just got her on a trade. Pritty happy with it. But the darn headlights are yellowed. Does anyone think them Diomond Cut ons are worth it? wheres a good cheap place to get em if they are? And the dame pedal feel oftley close for my big feet. Would them after market ones fit big feet better? ANd where would be a good place to get them? TY

    Most aftermarket pedal setups are Bigger (i.e. closer together). Headlights ...i picked up a 6 piece set for around 150 (50resto.com). usualy worth the upgrade, brightens up the front of the car.

    btw welcome to the 2.3 world :)

    If youre going cheap, get the stock tire size. Its 205/65R/15 I believe if you have the 10-hole wheels (I think those were stock wheels in 1990).

    Are the Diamond Clears Worth it??? YES!

    I would say the diamonds are worth it, here is my car.

    Also some things you might want to do is grab some sway bars off of a GT and put em on. Big difference in handling.

    Pedals can be had pretty much anywhere...i believe 50resto carries a billet set, or you can just get the cheapy ones at autozoo , bout the same size (even get them in neon purple if thats your flavor! ;) ). Gt's are a good pull for the front sway bar (any fox year) ...you can pull a rear sway off pretty much everything...the rears are the same.

    Heheheh purple. Ok Looked on procarparts. Found OEM head lights bu tnot diomond. The serch goes on. Also a few questions on fenders. Now im going with a Cervinis Front Air dam and rear valance with stock gt side skirts. How do you all think that look with a dark blue paint job? Also as fas as i understand My Fenders on my car now. Wount fit as wide as a tire as the gt fenders. AM i right? And i do belive i need to roll the lip to fit 9 inch wide rim with 245 tires right? My big question is, does anyone know where to get a Fiber glass front fender with the lip allready rolled for large tires? I also wanna use the fiberglass to get wight off the nose for handling. Well as allways ty for the time guys
