Looking sharp! Those wheels and calipers look really good against the black paint. That photo shoot must have been 5 minutes after detailing, lol as a black vert owner, I know that's about as long as they stay clean.
Those spokes being perfectly aligned with each other, is that just a coincidence?

Thanks guys. Black is a love hate relationship. I can clean it put it in the garage and 10 minutes later it's all dusty again. No coincidence on the spokes.

Love the car. I have a 2003 Vert and one of the best upgrades I did was to change out the headrests to the 4-way ones. It makes all the difference in the world. I found a set on E-Bay and took them to a trim shop and had them match the leather. You won't be sorry-- I promise.

Looks great!
Question...I see in the first pic you've got the "boot" on, but not the second one where you've apparently been driving. Were you actually able to fit that damn thing tight enough to drive with it on? My son and I can't figure out how to securely attach it. Ours is the original OEM.
Thanks.

It was a little chilly when we left so I took it off just incase the roof had to be put up. Mine OEM boot fits on tight with no problems. I found that fitting it in to the sleeve behind the back seat first then working your way around the outer edge of the boot makes for the tightest fit.
