Ok...after some searching, I am almost 100% dead-set on getting some Tenzo-R Type M's v.1 in bronze for my 2008.5 white MS3...

Well...after having owned many Mustangs and finally a GTO, I decided it was time to make a change in my garage. A few years back I owned an '02 Protege5 and really liked that car...unfortunately my wife did not and she had to drive it daily. It was traded but I missed the hell out of that...
