Welcome! Love the colour, nice and black. Although there is too much tread on those back tires, you'll have to take care of that right away!

Congrats man I just bought my first one this week as well, a 00 black FRC 6 speed.

I almost bought a silver coupe about 6 months ago , the black coupes are by far the best looking.

Looks nice

Nice car!

May I make a suggestion? The next time you have your wheels off, give those rotor hats and calipers a shot of black paint.
