Hello All!!!!

Hi, my name is Rich and I wanted to formally introduce myself and my car. I have been a CF member and have been lurking for some time and now that I have some decent pics I thought I would share them. I'm from Akron, Ohio and am currently in the Navy stationed in Japan so I dont get much time to drive but I love showing it off. Its a 2002 Electron Blue coupe, Automatic, I installed a Avic D1 nav unit in it, 18/19 Ruff Racing 278 Hyper Black wheels, drilled and slotted rotors, vararam, race mesh grills, long tube headers, x pipe, GHL Magnum exhaust, and many many more mods to come. I love this site and have so many of you to thank already for your help and knowledge.
Happy New Year, Rich

Welcome!!! That is one sweet looking ride you have!!Even though mine is pewter(got it mainly 'cause I got such a deal I couldn't pass it up,,and have grown to love it as it is kind of classy looking) I've ALWAYS had a thing for Electron Blue!! It's very similar to the color of my first shark and I'm very partial to blue vets!!! Happy New Year and here's to many miles and smiles in 09!!!

Welcome!! Love the car. Electron blue has always been one of my favorites. One of those colors that you have to see in person to really appreciate it.

Thank you for your service!!
