I've decided that I like the 96/97 lamps better...the slight touch of amber is tasteful. To top it off they also came with the 5 spokes (but no real sport suspension)!<p>Wesley Walls<br>'98 1.8TMS<p>p.s. Anyone with 96/97 want to trade 5-spoke wheels/tail lamps? :)

Sorry, no I don't want to trade,but I do agree with you that the 96/97 tailights look better. I would like to have the sport suspension and the 30v,but not the dreaded "atmospheres" that have killed any crazy idea I might have had to upgrade. I look at the car on the lot that I might buy for 32k(retail) and I like my interior better. Does ecru only come with open pore?<p>Bill
