Im looking into getting a newer car and was wondering if there were any problems with the 99-01 that i should be careful about, since it was the first few years of a new body.
Don't get the 99 or 00, go with 01 and above. The cup holders in the 99-00 are right behind the stick, anything taller than a 'short' coffee cut will get smacked by the stick. The second cup holder a bit futher back is only good for a large Fast food drink. Forget about a 7-11 big Gulp or Circle K super drink. Also, the 01's had smoked headlight assemblies which IMO look better than the chrome ones in earlier years.

Last but not lease, the 01's I believe had slightly smoother 'edges' on the front and rear bumpers. I don't know how to describe it better other than where the front license plate and letters in the rear bumper are, are smoother than in 99-00.

Other than that, the cars are pretty much identical.

So you'd trade the t-45 for some more convenient cupholders? Your funny.

That intake is only $200. But if anyone needs one, I have one, brand new. I was gonna put it on my 97, but I'm getting a P-51.

Have you ever tried going through a fast food drive through with more than one person in the car? Or driving rush hour traffic with a big bottle of water or a coke stuck in the drink holder? Takes the fun out of driving (not that rush hour is fun to begin with). Sounds trivial I know, but (shrug).... I already checked to see if the center console from a 01 and up would fit, they (dealerships and body shops) say no. Just thought I'd point out something that people don't think about when they look at a car...convenience.
