Thanks. The interior was redone before I bought the car. I have a receipt from when it was done in April 2001 at a local trim shop: recover front and back seats ($1000), recover upper door panels ($180), install customer supplied carpet ($150). Not sure if repo covers were made back then or if it was custom. Previous owner said the dash is original (no cracks) and gauge bezel pod was NOS.
Only decent pic I have of the interior for now, taken the day I brought it home:

Hot off the press 
. Such a strange feeling to see something I built in a magazine.

Thanks, had no idea it would have that affect . Today I had the 12 year old window tint removed and redone. Old was 35% sides and 5% rear, now 20% sides and 10% rear. Looks 100% better. Pics show how the RJC system isn't fitting quite right, which is annoying. Will be fixing that this week.

More updates done last week. RJC exhaust is now fitting the way it should thanks to Bill at Anderson Performance. Also swapped out my Intrepid efans for one of the Alradco kits with powder coated shroud and installed a catch can from JLT. Always something to do .

Thanks Peter. Yea it's a cool feeling to walk into a store, pick up a magazine off the rack and bam, there's your car. Finding that I'm still not "done" yet. Have a couple more things planned for it this summer.

Thank you! I appreciate it. IROC's are awesome.. I have an 87T that I've been working on for a while now. It's Dark Blue Metallic. I can appreciate the work that has gone into your car. I hope to have it at Bowling Green this year. Maybe I'll see ya around

More work than I ever thought. Buy a Turbo Buick they said, it will be fun they said. Hope to make it to Bowling Green or Hebron one of these days. I'll be at the Carlisle PA GM Nationals in June and the East Coast Buick Regionals in Sept.

Installed a set of Alradco low beam 4300k (white) HIDs today. Install couldn't have been simpler. What a difference!
