Looking great, still an inspiration to me. Your car was one that I looked at a lot before I got my 01. I was in Korea at the time so it was nice to see what they looked like with some work.

Looks great as always, Jim.
Loving the door sill plates.

My badge overlays have peeled off a few times, mostly from drive thru car washes.
I'm getting low on spares, so it's washing by hand from now on!

Looks good Jim. Another title would have been..............Fluffernutter.

You have taken good care of it and I agree that a light tint would really set it off.

Were your stock rims the 20 spoke? If so, I do believe our cars would be twins, well off the assembly line at least.
