Good clean looking car...looks mostly unmolested!! Nice color...not many around in that shade!
One odd thing...
Is that ONE strut top defender I see...one on the left (pax side, almost out of the pic), but naked on the right?
Either way....if you run bigger than 16's I suggest a set...craven makes nice std's, and you can usually find similar ones from m7 pop up used.....
The std's will prevent strut top mushrooming....from potholes...if your roads in your part of ME are anything like the ones I know... They are s good investment (depending upbon your goals camber plates are better for some).

Congrats! Very nice. And I think you're right, Zippy, only one STD. What's up with that?

Lights are playing tricks, no aftermarket anything not even the defenders even those are on my list of soon to gets....this car is stock.

It has 17" s-lites on it now. Not sure why they are called that at 25 lbs each!!! I may see a performance boost with my 15" steelies as I will be losing 40lbs all around.

Yeah, Maine roads are tough. May get a set of 16" rims once my 17" tires wear out. I do need the tower defenders. My drive today was like a rally course missing the big bumps.

Sorry to hijack but are the studs long enough to accommodate the defenders as well as he strut brace? I already have the brace and just put 17's on.
