| It's a little hard to tell what color it is. So, what color is it? Silver? Looks good anyway. | |

| yes you need to replace your belts... there's a write-up here for that too. if you're not mechanicly inclined you might wanna pay someone t do it. its a lil booger to do. change your pulleys would be a good idea while ur at it. took me just under 3 hours w/out any breaks to do mine... if you dont know when the last time the sc oil was changed you should do that too. | |

| The paint bubbling on the hood is not that uncommon, mine was was bubbled along the front leading edge when I bought mine. The hood is aluminum and aluminum does corrode. I had mine stripped, primed and repainted. Cost me $600.00 but I insisted on the whole hood be stripped, primed with zinc chromate primer, then painted. Would have been less $$ if I wasn't so particular. | |

| Since this is an aluminum hood it is likely paint loosing adhesion to the primer. | |

In my case they did find corrosion under the bubbling paint and the aluminum needed to be properly treated before priming. | |

| Nice RIV! I bought mine on Craigslist too! As for the bubbled look on the nose, it looks to me as if it has surface rust under the paint. A little elbow grease, some sandpaper, and some paint would fix that right up! | |

| my idea for the paint is black with a silverish arrow running from the R on the trunk lid along the roof to the R on the hood. what do you guys think? and i probably won't have any sketches of it since I AM NOT AN ARTIST OR EVEN CLOSE TO ONE | |
