Just an observation about the 2003.5

[Black Majik MSP]

03.5 looks so damn ricey. 03 looks so much better. How a ugly lip and wing could ruin a perfectly nice looking car. The rear wing and the lower lip just doen't flow with the lines of the car like they do in the 03.

I'm glad you're selling your car because we don't need people making stupid ass comments like this.

I have had the best of both worlds and I love the fact that everything is loved AND hated. There is a pretty good spread of colors and styling. Now its my turn: I want 03 wheels and I will be putting in fogs (and not removing the 3.5 lip or "life ring" as I once heard it called). My 03 seats were fraying near my lower back with only 7000 miles at the total out. I like both front ends and both back ends. I like both interiors. Since everybody knew my Pumpkin first, they all say they like it better. I do miss 1244!!! Newf, I can't feel any difference in the clutch at all. Great Thread Newf!

Funny, my MP3 wheels I did have troubles with pitting and such. I ended up getting two replaced. the 2003.5 wheels have been flawless so far. I did learn with the mp3 wheels what NOT to wash them with, and how to take care of them better which is helping for sure. But the finish on the 2003.5 is a lot better quality then the mp3's ones without a doubt. As for 200 bucks cheaper, i guess it depends on what dealer your talking too.

Oh, and I've driven the 2003 orange one here a few times, and my clutch defintely requires more strength to push in to the floor. Just a little stiffer. Maybe your clutch on the 2003 was gone
