the pedals were actually from ebay--i would never shop at a place called pep boys, nor are there any pep boys stores in Utah--i had them on because when I had underbody neon, they matched--but am making a slow transition to red rather than blue. i have the steering wheel cover on to protect the leather, i plan to have this car 10+ years, so I want to keep it in the best shape possible. the little things count to me, such as a not worn-out steering wheel or seat leather. I appreciate the input, and believe me, just as soon as i get some free time, those pedals are definitely coming off, i hate those things. :P Thank you for the compliments on the CF--I wasn't sure if it was going to look good or not until I had it on, but I definitely love the look of it on black, it's even better in the sun.

Thank you! They're made by a UK company called Outlaw

Thanks tons!! I'm nowhere near done, but this will pretty much be as it sits for the next few months or so-- whenver my clutch goes out, I'll be installing a better clutch and my Fidanza flywheel (never thought I'd actually WANT a clutch to go out hehehe)

oh, i LOVE my hood. it's very very light and cools the engine off quite effectively Kind of intimidating-looking too, makes a meek car look nice and mean, I think.

Thanks a lot for the kind compliment! I got the covers done by a company called ShowMeStreetCustoms, but the company that makes them is now defunct/out of business. There is a vendor on here I believe that makes a lot of custom engine bay pieces, I believe their name is MRZ Performance. Hope it helps! I actually repainted the blue pieces to red and the spark plug cover is now painted black to match the fuel rail cover, looks very nice with the black.

Thank you!! How are you liking your balt? The rims were a lucky find: ebay. GM in their infinite wisdom made a nearly-impossible bolt pattern to find, and these are one of the few companies that make a good fit. They're actually for Vauxhaull, but they fit just perfect. a little wider than stock, but that's a good thing. They're made in the UK and ship from Scotland, so they take about two weeks to get via FedEx.
