I bought the car in march this year it was in a garage for a year or so and is my daily driver except its costing me some money but its worth it love this car its a great first car, and it has some imperfections in the paint and dents from the jerks who park next to me at school:beatyoass:

The seats look great,defineately rare in that nice of condition.Mine are really nice,a little behind your's though.Do you have any mods planned for it,or are you keeping it stock,which isn't a bad thing either.

Well like I said a 3g alt upgrade, and I have a sound system everything else is stock I am looking into an exhaust and I should have that in by January and I also want rims but I cant find many that I like and fit the car...any ideas for other mods or rims? I know the jmod for the transmission that is on my list along with a new intake I just need some $$ first

If there's one thing everyone here has learned about Turbo Coupes -- It's that they're not cheap to maintain.  Little stuff can and will go wrong.  Everyone here with a TC has decided that it's worth it and it looks like you have to.  So welcome! ((AWESOME TC))

Nice Bird !!!

You don't need a new tail light, just take the existing one out and reseal it.  Once you have it out of the car you can see how the pieces come apart.  The outer lens is held by some little metal clips and some sealant. 

You can carefully take it apart, clean inside the lens and housing, bend the little metal clips so the hold better and use some sealant and put them back together.

No reason to buy new ones.
