    that is really nice !

    [QUOTE=blkfordsedan;247096]This is my '93L. I bought it 9 years ago with 23K miles and it now has 120K! It's 100% rust free, although I have no idea how, and still sports the original paint.


    That is really great looking Festiva !

        20% If I remember..........I tinted the windows myself the first year I got it. Technically, I don't think it's legal on the front windows but no one around here cares. Makes a huge difference in the summer since it has no A/C! I open the rear wing windows, turn the vents on and keep the windows up to keep the sun off me. The air flow is usually enough to keep it tolerable for the few weeks we have that are 100+ degrees. I would, however, like to install a pop-out sunroof OR a FunTop would be perfect!

Also thought about adding some kind of a subtle stripe (like the factory hockey stick), but I'm afraid I won't like it after the fact. The plain, understated look has really grown on me. I even thought if I did an Aspire swap I would find some 13" rims that look as close to the factory styled steel as I could find, paint them silver and add trim rings so it still looks factory original. I would, however, like to repaint the rims in a little darker shade of silver. I've been looking for a color that matches the "Anthracite" color of the rim centers on my Mustang, but I can't find the exact color.
          Think he asked that because on the GLs, that space between the back edge of the door, and the vent window is black, no matter what color the car is. Very nice, clean looking Stiva!! :thumbleft:

            WOW!!!!!!!!!

            SUPER clean! That's the color of my 88L.

            All this has inspired me to have some body work/paint done to mine.
