Just picked this bad boy up!
Congrats man! I'd take off that bra though. It'll ruin your paint. If it's already scratched or faded leave it on and wait until you can paint it. But if it's in good condition when you take it off, leave it off or it will ruin it.
Is it an manual or auto? Any mods? Looks really good, and really low miles!

Its a auto and has no mods at all. Its a gm bra so it fits nice but i hear you about paint damage. I;m very pleased, dealer made me a hell of deal on it. I'm probably going to sell the wheels and tires and go with a nice set of stock 16s. These f1s just aren't practical where I live. Someone will get better use out of them. The car is in unreal condition, only thing I see is some rust on the rear housing and minor rust underneath.
Its for my wife to replace her 02 Formula she smacked a utility pole with back in sep. Totaled the car,snapped off the pole smashing windshield the drivers side ttop in and bashing the rear hatch. NOT A SCATCH ON HER! fox ran out in frt of her and she overreacted crossed lanes drove up a small embankment and smacked the pole.

Congrats on the pick up. Glad your wife was ok.
I agree keep the WS6 wheels, I wish I had those on my TA but it came with the 16's b/c it is not a WS6. Even if you have to drive it in the winter just search CL or something for some cheap 16's even if there steelies and put winter tires on them then you have the 17's for some fun in the sun. Plus your tires will last twice as long b/c each set will see half the use.

Paid 11.5 for it. I wouldn't drive it in the snow but on any nice day in the winter it will get driven and if it starts to snow you are STAYIN where you are at with the F1's. I might trade for a set of 16 chrome pontiac rims and tires OR I may put a set of all season 17's on and sell the F1's. Was thinking maybe 600 for the F1's, something like that anyways.
Dealer has to replace the Power steering pump and hoses yet and some noise in the engine someplace at idle<might be piston slap. Car really works nice and is tight like new. I wonder if the orginal owner ever posted or visted this site? I'd love to know the story on this car. Its about as perfect as a 01 with 38k on it could be. Runs unbelievable, very strong running car. Wife loves it.

First thing to get for that car once you get the issues fixed are subframe connectors. Love the color!!! That was my second choice car with that color after a 30th anniversary, both of those fell through back in '99.

Anyone interested in the bra its gm like new pm me a offer, I personally think they are a pita. I can see why the previous owner bought it, There are a few good stone whacks on the headlight covers. Must have lived around alot of stone truck traffic ..something like that.
