Mine was 99.9% stock, except for a sticker the previous owner had on the side window. Now it's 100% stock, and that the coolest in my book.
I'm not much for chincy add-ons really.

I'm currently re-building the Bose amps if that counts. It's really a simple process. If anyone has any questions, shoot me a pm.

Had to improve the sound, so I put a flowmaster 40. For the looks, 5000k HID fogs, double din clarion radio and white interior LED lights

When I bought the 1991 coupe two years ago the paint was really bad. There were about 700 yellow vets that year, so I kept the color and re-painted it myself adding a black hood stripe that I like, others may not?

I am still trying to figure out this picture post thing. If someone wants to help me get the picture on this post, go for it.

It was going to cost 6000 dollars to repaint a car not worth a lot more than that, so I gave it my best effort, and am happy with it. I have a full set of youtube videos on doing the work.

I think changing the sawblades is the biggest update for any C4.

No need for any other mods


anyway , here is my '94 admiral gs clone. If it wasn't an admiral blue, I would have just changed the wheels.
