The yellow Machs are definite eye-catchers.

No mods right now. I'm enjoying this car in stock form and it hasn't disappointed at all. What a blast to drive!
They're eye catchers indeed. A buddy with a gray one always complains that he can tell I'm coming from a mile away, while his darker color is harder to tell the different lines and accents from a distance. Being a low-mileage mint piece, I wouldn't mod it at all until you really got the bug to do it. But I would install a short-throw shifter. It improves the driving feel alot, is easier on the tranny, and can be changed back easily if so desired. Have fun with her and we're here to help.
