Heres the story of how the Midnight Pearl paint came to fruition.

While working on this car for over a year, the idea of what color to paint it became a varying topic. Midnight Pearl was my initial choice(black with lilac pearl), followed by silver, copper, blue, and then finally while grinding her down and fixing her body flaws, we settled back on the Midnight. This was chosen so the door jams wouldnt need to be painted, being the car is a stock black color. It took over 2 weeks to complete, with all the manual labor being done by myself and my father, griding down the imperfections and prepping her up, and the all the bondo and paint being done by the professionals at Eagle Auto Body.

when you finish your car it will be sweet. it's always better when you put so much work into a car 'cause then you know it inside out and are able to work on it alot easier after a while. this one should turn out great.

Dude the wheels off the XS are not the right ones for the RS. The XS came with 14" tires the RS came with 15" stock. I'd look for some Asuna Sunfire rims if you can't find RS wheels or maybe even a 93 Storm GSI...not sure but I know the asuna got the 1.8l and the 15" rims. But sweet car, I just got my RS lucky all it needs is a passenger side quarter, some turbo adjustments and paint. All the engine parts are intact and the interior just needs the seats redone. I'll have pics up soon...check in. I'll have pics of the stock 15"s. Peace out.
