Yes, pretty much everything is new. Just got the motor running and have driven it about 10 miles. Still need to get the paint cut and polished and put all the chrome on.

Looks good man!!! I love those RS's. Is it black and silver or black and white (hard to tell on my screen).

Looks good, I like the stripe color, something other than white stripes on a black car is different and refreshing. They look silver unless it's the light playing tricks in the photo.

Thanks for all the great comments. The exhaust is the full flowmaster kit, I installed it in the garage and it fit great.
The autometer gauges are in the stock bezel but will soon be in a custom one.
