That's a great color. There's another guy on the board with an SS that is SOM with the tan leather.

Like whats been said above, thats one nice SOM SS,

BUT!!, you must clean those CME tips. They look horrible. Use some Turtle Wax rubbing compound to get the black off, then use some polish to shine them back up. A buffer may be needed if they have never been cleaned.

They should look something like this when done.

Then post up some new pics

$24k holy crap. Every time I see a SS this clean I wonder if I made a mistake cheaping out on my Z. But in the end... I'm cheap!

Very nice ride man. Take good care of those wheels, they are not durable.

Default Keep it STOCK

Good for you! That is one RARE car already. With everybody seeming to mod their cars you may have the last convertible on the planet in that color in STOCK condition in just a few years. You will always get good money for it if you keep it nice. The price was OK in my book. Try to find one in SOM in that condition. Congratulations!!

Thanks guys.

Yeah i know it is rare.....in 2002 only 41 som ss verts were made. Black and tan tops maybe even another color top but i am not sure.
Definately makes it a rare car.

Nope i plan on keeping the wheels due to the fact that the car would loose its Stockness if i sold them. If i ever sell the car. The buyer would want those to keep up with the SLP door sticker.

Is there a registry that i can get a hold of to find out more info on the car?

I have an 02 M6 SOM with tan top and tan leather. Got it a couple of years ago. Actually, I believe they made 41 SOM SS 6-speeds in '02. My SS is SLP # 007.
