I've got the sports suspension (code M030), thus the slightly lower ride height. Replaced the shocks with Bilsteins 10k miles ago.

I love the look of the wheels. They're fairly wide too: 225 in the front and 285 in the back. Grip for days..
Cool - yep they look good and WIDE!!

Finally got mine paint corrected....looked like the PO had washed it with a Brillo pad. Much, much better now, but still a few warts. Work done by Automobilia, in West Haven, CT. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't really cooperating for a good photo shoot. I was looking for a good location on the way back to work after picking up the car and drove this ridgetop road loaded with $1,000,000+ homes and was gonna pull into the driveway of one and snap some photos with the car/house and valley spread out behind it, but I chickened out, lol

That looks great. Is that a respray or just a good detail? I just paid a detailer $200 to get the swirls / toddler decorations and it's pretty meh. Feel like I should've bought a good orbital and done it myself.
