Talking my new '88..got a few questions....

I've got polished wheels, but I'd like to add some colored crested caps..are they available to match the polished wheels?

Second, would it be a good idea to install the front spoiler to go along with the rear spoiler? I'm not so much worried about the actual look of the front spoiler, in fact, I suspect if I installed one, it would get scraped on every driveway I pulled into. But I have heard they should be done together for aerodynamic reasons. I'm open to suggestions! Oh and BTW, any general tips on this car would be appreciated!

ALLWAYS install front spoiler of you have one on the rear. if not you will have a very unstable setup. I've never had a problem with mine scraping on driveways or speedhumps etc and its only a peice of rubber in any case.
as for polished center caps these are available in most places heres a link to the pelican page.

I might be missing something here, but your car should have a chin (rubber exstention) spoiler attached to the lower facia, if you have a tail. If not, something is funny.

Tips: carry a spare DME relay, and make sure your spare holds air before you need it.

Have fun and enjoy

There's a lot of brewha about the necessity of both spoilers and instability. It's probably more important if you drive at triple digit speeds of track the car. For normal driving, like most of us do, spoilers are cake decorations. But I really like cake.

The original owner, or the dealer installed a rear spoiler, but apparently not the front spoiler. The rear spoiler was not listed when I decoded the options codes list. To me, thats the end of the mystery.

Yep that would explain it.
