Black Interior / Factory 5 Spd / 112K on the clock First on the list, V70R bumper but I first want to get a color match on the paint. So, test spray the under-hood strut tower brace for a comp. Cleaned up to bare metal and in the booth ready to get hit with epoxy primer for the first coat Base Coat: Base coat applied Clear Coat gassing out in the sun We have a match Test spray out card confirms as well 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MnOpRacing Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 I think you might own a 1 of 1 there. That's a triple threat, safron on black with a 5sp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kit Vexed Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 who gives a $hit about the sound and interior - it's a factory 5spd hpt saffron coupe! i wouldnt care if the stereo was ripped out and the interior was purple haha. super rare 1 yr only car man! low miles to boot.. take care of her.. you're not too far from me either so let me know whenever you're ready to sell! by far my favorite year/color/coupe. literally only a handful of these were made.

tuner4life Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Beautiful car! It's the same as mine, but you got lucky enough to get a manual! Totally Jealous! I'll probably swap mine if the auto ever breaks. Can't wait to see what you do with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burn-E Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 I think you might own a 1 of 1 there. That's a triple threat, safron on black with a 5sp. Not really 1 of 1. 1 of 5 maybe. I know I've seen 4 with the same combo including mine. Definitely 1 of 135 when it comes to coupes of all colors and years (98-02) in NA and 1 of 603 worldwide that had a manual transmission from the factory. Let's see some more pics of the car OP! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well excuuuuse me lol, I wanted to know whether it was fully fully loaded, was just curious! But yes it's a friggin awesome car already, having the 400W stereo just makes it a tiny bit better!

Unfortunately, I will not be able to make it but maybe next year! Ordered wiper delete plugs from Hallsjostyling in Sweden. Between shipping, currency conversion, and the fact that I will be working with more R bumpers in the future I decided to make a mold and reproduce the wiper delete Prepped with 80 grit scratches 3M Plastic Repair material to bond the delete plug to the bumper Nice fit R Bumper from a laser blue prepped with 80 Grit paper -deleting the license plate holes as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JVC Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Looks like it's going to turn out similarly to my front bumper (of course yours being slightly more professional) I've quickly learned to love my wiper delete mod and the look of the front bumper once blended in. R Bumper 2 by JVC8790, on Flickr You're is going to look awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
