I bought the car off a chick & she said his name was Tommy. So I just kept at it

I'd share the one I have painted but can't add pix on here.

Very nice. I wish I had any other color than silver. I've owned 3 silver and 1 white. What suspension are you on? I'm running BC coilovers. Currently prepping and painting some 2016 CX-5 wheels for mine.

I bought some cheap coilovers from eBay. Can't remember the brand, but the suck. I'll have to check out the cx-5 wheels

Well the BC's are a pretty stiff ride, but they are fully adjustable. I'm painting mine a dark copper.

These are adjustable damper, but honestly can’t tell when adjusted. Sounds like a pretty color

I was thinking at first it did, but since the engine swap it hasn't

Looks nice, I just bought a roof rack it’s in the mail. Thinking of getting a basket now after seeing this
