i just repainted my sails gloss black and im torn between them and the 93 glas i got for free last week

86 i thought u told me not to convert my quarter glass?lol and u did... or is it the other 86 5.0 on here, anyways i have some nice glass of a 93, not even sunbaked at all on the trim
I probably did, Im gonna keep the 86 sail panels though and see what it looks like, the 87-93 glass looks too plain looking, I dont know just looks "off" in general

ORIGINAL: 85GTsleeper

hmm k nvm. i was thinking about doin the quarter glass but i didnt think it would line up with my t-tops or even look good
+1 Joseph

oh yah i bet.... my car tops out at 85mph. My mom wont let me get anything bigger then a 4 banger. I could probly talk her into a V6, but I think I can wait till im 18
I remember when my speedos needle would go PAST the 85mph mark.... now it chases the 140 mark
Actually today I noticed my car had some *****. It was midnight(a few hours ago) and my mom let me take it to safeway, and I took the backroad there and this one straight away I was tappin about 75-80 and my tranny didnt even click into 3rd yet (C3 trans.) I could probly get my car into the 105-110 area (maybe). I am very proud of my car. It must have been that seafoam. I wanna just take it out on the highway soon and go ***** out after i get my timing looked at.

pretty sure that would take half an hour to get there, since you're going with a 5.8 why dont you invest in a better speedo? like this
