I think mine was the same way, my remote stopped working months ago so I'm not sure.

I just bought a 5spd 2.2 as well a few months back. I like it so far....I like your color better than my white though, probably easier to keep clean.

i actually got a great deal on it. i got it for 7000 canadian . the only down side is that there is 185 kms on it . and i was just stupid.....the lights and alarm does work . i forgot i got a spoiler and the guy threw in a alright deck too. yo silvercl97, we pretty much have the same ride ahhaha. im located around broadview and danforth, if u kno where that is....the only flaw on the car is a small chip on the rear bumper and very very small rust spots around the rear wheel well....does anybody else have a bit of rust on their car???

I got mine for $4000 USD, but it had 156k miles on it.

My only rust is on the hood where the stupid wipers knock into it because they're not aligned right and will randomly either go too far up or down depending on mood.

And I think maybe a little non visable rust inside the moonroof.

I would much rather buy something in person than online. If you do find clear corners sold in the area, let me know.

I do have the stock spoiler.

I wanna check out that Automotive Warehouse sometime. I called them one time about clear corners and they said that they have to special order it. Canadian Tires tried ordering it, but couldn't because their supplier said APC isn't making it anymore...
