Correct. This one is #2 of 195 with the combo of SOM 6 speed t-tops. They did make 3++ in som in 2001.

Thanks for the comps.

But id like a set of som frc with chrome lettering and i would be happy.

Here are pics of my FRCs...it sounds like these are what your looking for. If so I will get the guy that did thems info for you:

Also how did you find out what number your car was in order of the other SOMs in 01? I know what WS6 number mine is and how many SOMs were built but not what number SOM car mine is...that would be nice to have.

I'm amazed people (or maybe just you) actually put the build # for a specific color. That is crazy and very misleading, making people at shows think you have a 2001 car that only had 195 made. Build #'s are supposed to be for how many of a specific model were made. So I guess if someone paints their car a custom color they can put a 1 of 1 badge on it!! I'm also wondering like 97ramsst how you know that you have the second SOM car in 2001. Did they actually count the specific colors as they came off the line?

Looks good just like every other time you detail your car. Seems to get better every time.

The color is rare and he is just pointing out how rare it is compared to all the black and red WS6s cars. I cant tell you how many times I get asked if mine is a factory color or have people tell me they have never seen one...so telling them is its 1 of only 302 built in my case is perfectly legit.

But then again its a SOM thing...you wouldn't understand!

I'm still curious how he knows it was #2 SOM?
