| Sunroof was an option on all years. Except the 99 Silver Arrow, then it was standard equipment. _________________ 98 Riv, 102K Miles, EBC, LS1 Ft.Calipers, STB, Addco Rr Sway Bar, 180* stat., SSAC Headers, HF Cat, 1.9's, 105# springs, MPS 3.4, DHP tuned by the Deekster.

| "Don't be so full of yourself, I am not grateful of anything you provide because you provide nothing by childish behavior. Hurah for AA being a child! I know 15 year olds more mature than you AA and that's sad for a 32 year old..." It doesn't bode well for you to be posting such words. Does it? _________________ 98 Riv, 102K Miles, EBC, LS1 Ft.Calipers, STB, Addco Rr Sway Bar, 180* stat., SSAC Headers, HF Cat, 1.9's, 105# springs, MPS 3.4, DHP tuned by the Deekster.

| Did you sand the textured finish smooth before painting? Is that a GPS antenna on the rear roof? I can't tell from the photo. The more of them i see painted this way, the more i like it. How do you like it now that it's done? _________________ 98 Riv, 102K Miles, EBC, LS1 Ft.Calipers, STB, Addco Rr Sway Bar, 180* stat., SSAC Headers, HF Cat, 1.9's, 105# springs, MPS 3.4, DHP tuned by the Deekster.

| i revoke my previous comment on that it only would look good on white and black... but will stick with the comment that it looks like a fuller more complete car when its done. |

| I love a Riv in red! Very very sharp! I love how it's not covered in goofy doo-dads too I would sand the plastic smooth so it's easier to clean wax off. |

| When i get the money for paint work I'm going to find out how much extra to do the trim in the body color. I like it a lot now that I've seen a few. Will be after all engine mods are done though. _________________ 98 Riv, 102K Miles, EBC, LS1 Ft.Calipers, STB, Addco Rr Sway Bar, 180* stat., SSAC Headers, HF Cat, 1.9's, 105# springs, MPS 3.4, DHP tuned by the Deekster.

| it would probably be cheaper to paint the trim since it is less to mask off. lot of cars that get cheap-o paint jobs have the trim painted whether they want it or not. (ex- old explorers with the plastic fenders) Anyways, here is my rear bumper sanded smooth and clear coated. i never have to apply back to black again! (at least not on the rear) The front lip should have come painted factory IMO. Not sure if it would look right with only the front painted, but i like having the dark gray lower trim on the side and back.  _________________ 3.4, N*, 1.84RR, P&P blower and LIM, 3"DP, 4"WAI, plog, 6K HID, Eibach pro springs, KYB GR-2, Fbody 12" brakes,caddy STB & sway bar.
