Thanks Steve

Hi Steve--
I did essentially the same thing last year with Marc. I did the 510 package (but minus the Fidanza and I added Cats, so actually a 486 for the moment). I did Fine Silver with black bolts that were left over from other redos. Looks more stock, although I did add Haibeck lettering. Last year I did the 4.10s--I have had them on my 93 for 13 years and they are the best upgrade you can do for street driving. My opinion: don't spend the money on only 3.73s. Also added Corsa and Hurst short shifter as I had on my 93. There are a number of pictures in my albums section but her are a couple:
