Be careful with those tires, they are too old to be safe.

Thanks, yes I agree. I'll be replacing them for sure.

Put new Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 Tires on her today and what a difference that made. Feels much more stable and planted.

Congrats. If not done already for peace of mind you may want to replace the valve springs and install a LMC5.

Other than that it's completely stock right down to the original tires. The very nest thing I'm going to do is put on some new rubber.

The interior still smells new.

Pictures to follow once I figure out how to post some.

Yellow is fastest! :-) Not a fan of that front bumper cover tho. It just doesn't look right and it appears the yellow isn't quite a 100% match. Congrats on the car!!
