Its a 95/96 color only. My dad had one an I used to pimp around with it. Before I got my 98 I kept that thing cherry. It went to crap real quick and looks like a pile now a days. My sister inherited it when my dad bought an 07. She beat on it pretty hard, well my dad did too heh. Now one of my parents friends owns i and its in the worst condition ever.

Back in 03

ruby pearl is highly underrated. I'm going to repaint mine one day, but I'm keeping the ruby pearl. The dark reds and light blues just look tooo good. screw black and white.

back when i had a blingin cheap grille when i first got her.
and now.

since i started the post i should prolly put up a pic of mine. since this one was taken i replaced the headlights with ebay's 97-99 (no glare with my hids).



it's a gle but i cut out fog holes and the lower grille for better air flow - waiting for spring to put mesh in so it matcjes the upper grille - and replaced the wood trim with black.
also once summer hits i'll be polishing my honeycombes to a chrome/mirror finish

I have one, and my brother has my old one. Mine looks like crap though, I'm currently trying to find a 95/96 AL0 bumper at a junk yard. I don't have the money for paint right now.

Its ruby pearl. Rosewood is 97-99 color they are different and I don't think the rosewood looks as nice as the pearl.
