That is extremely odd. I wonder what the story is behind such a quirkily optioned car! I like it though!

Why is the one ccr light blue? Are there electrical conmections at the top of the struts? I'm just curious.

Someone's been modding. We have found that the perform shift can be wired into an NA car and be functional. I think I see wires coming from the rear of the strut caps. Anyone know the RPO for the CCR?

EDIT: Techinfo says it's one of two.

FW1 - electronic controlled ride and handling
FX3 - automatic ride & handling, electronic controlled

I made the CCR light blue by changing out the LED. The yellow one was burnt out. While I had it apart, I decided to make the perform shift light red.

I believe this car is actually a 98 SLE without the Ground effects trim... I'll bet the RPO will not show the H4U but will have the 1SD which does include the H4U option package..
