There are a few little things that need fixing on it. Like the front insert on the bumper. an a speaker grill, an the light switch that i broke within a hour of getting the car.
Going to remove the mud flaps an add some darker tint as well as exhaust. An Also a bigger set of wheels. Maybe a new sound system. But has the factory stacker.

Welcome. Definitely not a downgrade. It probably looks like it at first from the 90s styling, but these cars provide alot of enjoyment just the way they are. At least you won't get plastics slowly coming apart and faded taillights like equivalent Commo lol.

I'm sure you'll be right for most of those parts you need in the near future ;)

I'm wrecking a GLi at the moment so if the speaker grills are the same as the Fairmont ones I will have one for you. Dunno about the bumper insert, what do the Fairmont ones look like? Is it possible to put chrome tape over the top of a black one?
