G"day and welcome to the nut house .. Windows should be a easy fix, usually just a clean of the contacts or you can get a can of electrical spay cleaner . just type in window switches in the search box at the top of the page ,you will get heaps of info, as far as Exhaust goes you can get new cat backs from $300 to $1200 depending on what you want. good luck with it and post some pickys up soon

If you want to see some pictures of rims you may want to check out the show and shine fourm. There should be a ba/bf thread in there, im sure someone out there is running stock rims.
