Does anybody know of any "boots" to protect a vehicles tires when placing them in storage. I have to store my '93 outdoors this year and want to protect the tires from the elements of a MI winter.

Also, does anybody out there know the best place to get interior products for your 4th gen. I'm looking to replace my center console (amongst other things), but don't want the factory replacement. For those of you who have a '93, they ingeneously placed the cupholders directly benind the shifter. I was actually thinking of replacing it with a '98-'02 console. Anybody have any recommendations?

Thanks in advance!

This is not really an answer to your question, but the 98-02 cars have the cupholder in that same spot right behind the shifter. Makes it 100% useless if you have a standard transmission.

Thought you might like to know, as you mentioned using this console.

Kevin,how about some plastic garbage bags over the tires? Try Schrams Auto Parts in Waterford if you want a 98-02 center console or try RK Sport. [Smile]

One advantage to the 97 and up consoles is that there is a swing out cupholder on the front passenger sie, as well as 2 on the rear of the console. The downside is that there will be a gap between the console and the dash wher that useless cassette holder is, as that is part of the console.

My solution is to upgrade the entire dash and console to 97 and up specs, or 93 and up Firebird.(I like those round vents.)

As for storing it, probobly the best thing to do would be to put it on jackstands and remove the wheels/tires to the garage, or a climate controlled area. I have never had the problem of storage, though, and may not be the best person to ask. I get to driver her year round. [Big Grin]

I've seen lots of motorhomes with covers on the
tires. Check out a trailer/camper supply place.
