Re: 03 in my sights!

I'll look forward to loading a "cleaner shot", but for now - what interior color is this - standard?

That is the Premium black - has smooth black finish on top of steering wheel and gear shift knob.

It's dirty..............

Re: 03 in my sights!

Yeah, I noticed that. I am also noticing that the DSB doesn't have the V8 emblem. Larry, I see yours doesn't either. Odd.

Dot can comment more then me but I know it wasn't on the 02's and am not sure about the 03's. I added the one on my 02.

It also does not have the front bumper license plate bracket mounted. I think you will need that in VA.

Congratulations Tina. Looks like you found yourself a beauty.

Tina,
Black accent interior is the correct term (black accent was available on both premium and delux models for all 4 years and probably the most popular interior.

I think it has the v8 emblem on it. There's a spot on the side front fender in the right spot for the emblem. Are there other photos you could show us?

Re: 03 in my sights!

All the photos (2) that I have dont have the V8, and l
PHA doesn't show any either on this or the coral. Guess that makes it just a smidge different. (Like me). Yep, guess I gotta get a front plate. Bummer. Elle, do u take yours on and off? I see one car has it and one doesn't.

DO NOT install the front plate! I had to on Goldilocks, but that's a story for another time. Moondoggie, being a California car, did not have the bracket, and I just keep the front plate in the glove box. I haven't had any problems for 4 years. As my friend (a Norfolk policeman) says, "T-Birds & Vettes - we just look the other way".

All the 03s and 04s came new with the chrome v8 emblem on the car. It's hard to see in many of the photos on my site because the emblem tends to blend in with the paint particularly with the smaller size photos I used. Both the DSB and coral 03s on my site have the emblems on them as the cars were new when those photos were taken. (I can show you larger photos of them) but there is one photo of a coral on my site with the coral top - that one was an 02 used in the James Bond movie and it doesn't have the v8 emblem.

I've attached your photo with arrow pointing to the v8 emblem . at least that's the spot that looks like it is the emblem.

Re: 03 in my sights!

Dot! You've got the eye. I couldn't spot it on any of my pictures, and couldn't see on the DSB shots on your site - so Thanks for info!

Elle, I think I just might try keeping it in the glovebox. It would be nicer. Norfolk officers might be cooler than Richmond guys, IDK. I'll double check what the ticket cost is, too. :)

Re: 03 in my sights!

Here's my next newbie question... What the difference between a black standard and a black accent in the 03?

Black accent has the smooth black finish on top of steering wheel and gear shift.
