just wondering. found this car on craigslist. looks awesome. blue doorjams and all...

http://detroit.craigslist.org/wyn/ctd/1331225406.html

Only in 95-96.

If the front and rear bumpers are original, it's a 98-99 that's been completely repainted in a non-original color.

If the front and rear bumpers have been replaced with the newer, 98-99 style pieces, then it's not a 99.

Door jams are a nice touch, but how does the engine bay look, ya know?

Considering they painted the gray portion of the bumper I'm gonna go with the "pretty decent repaint" job.

judging by the pic, it's not really close to the blue that the 95-96 models used.

i have no idea whats under the hood as far as paint color. i just found that on craigslist and thought it was clean with only 8XXXX miles on it. yeah the doorjams are always a plus. and yeah i did notice how the front bumper was completely blue. rather than the black part on the front.

i was just curious because ive never seen this color. i think it looks awesome.

Actually if I recall 95 was the only year for the rare colors that were available to the 1g's. Blue included.

That is not the factory blue available in 95. Its a repaint.

yes it is indeed a repaint. upon searching for cars on autotrader, i found the car at a dealership...looks like it was originally silver, clean car. i want it. sorry for the huge link...not very computer savvy...
