Welcome! Love those wheels and color. Very unique for a base model.

Eibach springs are a really good mod for base models because of the bigger wheel gap in the rear. I installed on mine and it really transforms the look of the car.

Enjoy.

+1 on all that except if I did springs on a base car I'd go one step further to H&R's. Drops it another .25" which is all good since the gap on the base car is quiet large.

Blue is my favorite color and could not focate one when I was looking. Great find! Looks like you may be able to enjoy year round.
Hove you walked out to the garage just to look at it yet today?

50 year dream? I never had that much patience! Got my first at age 19.
