To get that authentic NA6 feeling.

Paint the top of your radiator mission brown
Bake all your suspension bushes until they're rock hard or cracking
Put an oily rag in one of your air vents.
Bend the lock bracket on your glove box until it rattles.
Get some 14" rims (someone will probably pay you to take theirs).
Tape off half of your air filter
Cut the back of your soft top out
Remove all factory braces
Put in a light weight flywheel
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

You could also paint over your headlights for an authentic NA look.

The power steering in the nb's is a bit light for me too, I've been meaning to research ways of making it heavier without completely deleting it.
