Congrats on the car and welcome to the club. Sounds like a good deal. Yellow fogs would look perfect with that color...

Yea it's called the pointless road. It's just a long stretch of paved road that really dosen't go anywhere and 99.9% of the time there are no cars on it :D

congrats!!

i bought the same car about a month ago with 8k miles for $23k. 6sp, bose 300, sirius, rotary package, spoiler, etc.

i added matching fender strakes. they look great. i recommend then. nice touch. strut bars cant hurt. i have stayed away from the cold air stuff and pulleys. not real bang for the $$$ from what i can see and some potential problems. i appreciate the car for what it is. that said, at some point i'll get lighter wheels and 245 rubber around. oh year, i added blue interior lights. the car is really together as is. ENJOY IT before you get mod crazy- or go mod crazy...

best of luck.
