look on the sticker under the hood or the front page of the owners manual.

Ok, should have stated, car is home, drove the EVO today, I'm at work.

Maybe, I should just wait till I get home to order them. I just HATE the holes!

I would think you have Polar Silver, but that's only a guess. I think Arctic Silver didn't come until '97.

polar silver is L92M. Definitely double check under your hood.

Can you post a pic of your car?

Can you also post one?

I think it's more silver, with out the blue tint, that would make it Arctic?

I'm more confused!

Pictures are a bad way to display the subtleties between arctic and polar.

To avoid getting the wrong plugs, wait till you get home to order. If you get the wrong ones, which you will if you don't order from paint code, you will definitely see the difference between the two shades of silver.

Stealh, what about the ride height? . Bilstein HD / ROW m033 would be the perfect setup for a DD along with those 17" wheels. Great stance and great comfortability ...

Owned the car for 4 days, suspension will come in time....
First up is new rubber.

I'm going to wait till I can check the paint code.

Stealth and Others
You can get bumper plugs from Sunset for about $5.00 apiece.I then take my factory touch up paint and paint them.They come out pretty nice and are alot cheaper than Bumperplugs.com
