Picked these up at K Mart for $13.45 on sale from $29.99! Popped off the old ones and brushed off the wheel, blew it off with air compressor, quickly painted with rattle can flat black to freshen up, and snapped the new ones on. The 'rolla has different front and rear wheel styles. Two have slotted holes and two have lots of small round holes. They each used a different spot on the tensioner ring to snap on tightly. They are on there nice and solid though. Anyways...

They look good -- go great with your black paint. Car looks excellent for age (and location -- I assume it sees salt in winter?).

Other side has a wrinkled front fender, front corner of hood, and slight crease in the door. It is Emerald Green Metallic. It has hardly any rust, door seams are clean. I was under the rear end yesterday and don't like the looks of the fuel lines though. I may plasti-dip the areas that aren't covered by the guard. A new hood and fender is under $100 in primer from Rock Auto, but they want $300 to ship LOL. A local place will get 'em for around $145. Not sure if I'll bother, as much as I want to...
 
Last week I razor'd off the hideous pinstripe, buffed the hood, roof (chipping and very dull), and trunk. The car has been repainted at some point and has sags and runs in the recessed part of the door where the ding guard would normally reside. It has new tires though, runs like a top even with 183K miles, and is super lightweight, gets great MPG, and is easy to work on. I stripped ALL the A/C crud and replaced the rear speakers that the surrounds deteriorated on. I think I got a steal for $1300 for it.
