My last car: In 1997, I picked up this 1994 Zed, with only 14K miles on the clock.  When my dad went to polished wheels on his 1992 'vette, I took his old 17x9.5" wheels, had them refurbished, and with a brand new set of Dunlops they went on to my car.

The 'carbon fiber look' headlight covers looked great but made already dim headlights even worse.  Projection style low beams helped a bit.

Sweet car.  The taillight covers were short-lived, once I heard about how the could result in melted taillights.

The two cars that I owned for the ten years before I bought my green Camaro were a couple of nice Japanese cars: A turbocharged, intercooled, twincam, 16-valve, all-wheel-drive, racing-suspension, rarity called a Mazda 323 GTX. On the left is a Toyota Celica All-Trac (another turbocharged, intercooled, twincam, 16-valve, all-wheel-drive wonder with an established racing heritage).

The All-Trac was stock, but I installed the off-road shocks and springs in the GTX, as well as custom sway bars - the wife despised this car, and had a 4" thick foam cushion on her seat to smooth out the ride a bit (to reduce the "I hate this car" comments per kilometre!)..
