Update One
Well the first thing I did when i actually started to love the car again was finish my hood. No its not vinyl on paint or paint over vinyl, it is actual pain and it was a PITA. Lots and lots of time with rolls of masking tape to get a perfect 1" border for the design and it all being perfect from the edges of the hood all the way around, then i was a wetsanding and clear-coating fool for two days

Interior re-styling
Now I moved on to the interior that was red suede, and in the last two years i had grown tired of it,i actually bought the purple suede when i did the red but for some reason i did the red instead, i wrapped everything with purple suede, it wasnt an expensive overhaul it was just time consuming, cost was roughly $100.00, but the time and frustration was much worse. Wrapped all the pillars(a,b,c), headliner, and upper trunk panels,basically everything above the door line was done, ill get better pics this weekend
i went ahead and did my waterfall while i was there and i for some reason have extras, it flows well with the suede, also upgraded the HU

mostly cause my car isnt a racecar,its not hellagay or stanced, its not riced with a huge spoiler and unpainted body kit, id rather have dressed up steelies than konig or drag wheels. the hood is a custom one off piece my brother and I did one weekend with and extra haildinged hood i had laying around, and unlike others im not using vinyl to customize my car, im using paint. I do have replacement parts for everything modified on my car. In a weekend i can put my car back completly stock
