She’s very nice! Looks a lot better without the added decals. You don’t see many SIM Commemorative Editions in the wild. As a matter of fact, here in Utah, I’ve seen one white one and the same black one twice, never another silver. Thanks for sharing!

Holy crap your car looks exactly like mine!(looked at your"garage". : Thanks, I like it a lot better with them off. I have not seen any Commemoratives at all while driving around in my area of NJ. I did see a silver convertible a while back at a nearby dealership.

Ordered mine on 7/21 still waiting. Those fuel rails look nice. Does the kit come with everything?

I always thought the polished wheels had a clear coat on them. You did a great job getting those nice and shiny looking. I have a set in storage that I might try to resurrect now that I know they can be polished.

They actually are clear coated . I was basically doing paint correction to them . Once I got all the scratches out of the clear coat they looked much better .

stopped on a 2 lane highway and did a gratuitous burn out.
i was totally surprised the auto spun it thru 3rd.

gra·tu·i·tous uncalled for; lacking good reason; unwarranted.

Motor Mounts.
Transmission Mount.
Front Main Seal.


Turns out the last bozo that did the mean seal scared the thing prying it out with
pry bars. The gouges had edges, so no doubt how the seal failed again. I had to
carefully "cookie" them down. Though there are no more edges, the gouges are
there.

How much would it cost to replace that part vs. risking a failure in a short amount of time ? I am a little ocd so I would replace it .
