^ Thank you, I loved the style of the wheels, but personally was not a fan of the machined / shiny faces of them, went with a satin black to show the spoke design which I really like.

Are your wheels actually painted? Or plasti dip?

That second car you sent is nearly perfect for what I'm looking for - great minds I got in touch with the dealer a few week ago but they've been terrible with communication which kind of put me off. The dash / PCM also looks like it has quite a bit of wear.. which is fine I guess b/c those HVAC ***** can be replaced. The selling (2nd owner) is putting the vehicle up for consignment at Autosource Motor in Milwaukee. Does anyone have experience with this dealer or this particular car?

Hopefully the owner / seller is a forum member and can help answer questions!
I have an 07 arctic silver coupe with ~6400 miles that has just been serviced by Cantrell and received a seamless full front + windshield + stone-guard PPF from Metropolitan Detail. It has sport chrono and adaptive / heated seats. Zero mods & clean DME.

I wont let it go for cheap but look around and hit me up if you are interested. I am officially the 2nd owner (car fax shows 3rd as the 1st owner moved) and the car absolutely needs nothing per me and Cantrell :-) I honestly thought that I would drive this more but I was wrong. I like looking at it more than driving it.

And I am local to you!

Atlas is the best color though. Hold out for an atlas!
Turns out, Main Line Motors (the selling dealer) did not end up selling the car on the auction (or they placed the highest bid to keep the car). Now priced at $87k https://www.motorcarsofthemainline.c...rbo-c-2539.htm

Amazing example! Wowzers, that’s essentially a new car. If only it was in Slate or Meteor. I hope to see you around here if you ever take it out to local meets

I was the one Bxstr was referring to, love my car!



What's the spec on your wheels?

@TTG - what colour are the seat belts? Do you like them? I've been contemplating changing my black belts for something more interesting, and have an arctic silver car as well - would love to see more interior photos.

They are the optional silver seatbelts and I like them as they are not the usual red ones and blend with the car.

Interior is stone gray which fits this car perfectly IMO. I will take some more interior pictures and post them.

Meteor, Shmeteor. I'd get that silver one instead with about 7000 miles and call it a day. Just... wow! It will stay cleaner looking much longer and hardly ever show any dirt. Incredible example.
