Default 1 month old sc finally lowered with rims.

I got this sc a month ago. It's a 93 5-speed. Anyone know what this color is called exactly? I know for 93 there are colors called "bluish grey", and "spruce metallic". Which one is it? I don't think its the spruce after doing research on this site.

I finally installed coilovers (still have some issues), and put on some rims.

Wheel specs are 19 inch, 8.5 +15 and 10 +20.

Since my car came with a leaky headlight, I took both apart and did black housings. I still need to do the high beams.


I haven't posted my car yet, so thought I would. LMK what you guys think. Good or bad.

Beautiful car. I love that color when it's taken care of, and lowering SC's makes all the difference in the world.

Thanks for the comments. But does anyone know the name of the color? I know it's stock color. The last owners didn't do anything to it.

Also, I didn't get these rims from raine. I don't even know who he is.

The rims are bbs lm rep's, yes reps. I didn't think it would of been a good life choice to buy a set of real bbs lms for about $5,000-$7,000 in the middle of a recession. Or to buy rims that cost more than my car.

After I get suspension sorted, Im gonna put a kit. For the body kit I want to go real, and not replica.

I just googled it. Teal mist is more greenish. My color is more charcoal with a hint of blue. Im gonna find the color code when I get time and search this site or auto paint sites.
