Update! January 9/09
So today i switched all the courtesy lights and map lights with ultra white led's. It's still bright out so i'll take a pic or two when it gets dark for the results. Also ordered in all sets of Ultra Blue led's for the gauges and hvac controls so hopefully they come in soon. Super excited. Got the alternator in but the battery was suspect so i fully charged it and she ran for a good hour and still has life.....good sign? Anyways I'll get some pics tonight and hopefully she is still running good. Also ordered all three computers to replace. Figured what the hell.
This is the car as of December 29th, 2008. I got it a few weeks ago, and the first day I got it, I bought a brand new battery. Like a tard i decided to put the battery in, in the dark. Well i ended up touching the negative to the postive and toasted the alternator. So right now I am waiting for that to get in. I have alot of plans for the car. First thing will be putting in a new deck. It has great sound already but factory just won't do. It came with brand spanking new tired, but not sure what I want to do there. Maybe wait untill i do some other stuff to get the feel of where I want to go with wheels. All in all, there are alot of things I like that are stock. The colours, the factory paint. It does however have a rough spot on the hood so I will have to fix that. So I will post some more pics tomorrow probably, stick this page with a quick update and the others as a standard page to car feature. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Future Plans
To start I plan on doing a quick few easy upgrades under the hood. First I am going to switch over to a full synthetic with Mobil 1 5w30. Also I will be putting in a good old fashion K&N Air Filter. And in the future after that I will look into an exaust setup. But might wait to see what I am going to do for the body.
After that, I plan on going straight to the interior. To start, I will be changing all the interior lighting to LED's. Not sure if I am going to go with blue(was my initial plan) but wonder if green will look better with the paint. After the lighting just some little dress up's hopefully with MOMO items, or anything close to that look.
For stereo, not even close to sure where I am going to go with it. I don't want a sloppy sounding big thunderous system, and was thinking a nice setup with three to four 10" subs, an amp for each set. I just think the bass would be cleaner and not over powering. I really want to do some pillar tweets, with neon highlights. For a deck, not sure what I want. Thinking just a basic MP3 deck with Ipod control. Then add in my sony 8" dvd player in the rear.
For other accents, I want to go with neons, and a mirror or stainless steal look.
Well thats my ideas for now. Hopefully I can get going on making them reailty. It is super cold right now so it's hard, unless I bring it to work. Which is hard when the alternator is toast. But I get the new one tomorrow! So it should start flying soon. I am also a cage fighter and have a fight upcoming so time is devoted to training mostly.
