My '97 convertible had Bridgestone Potenzas on when I bought the car, and I changed them to Kumho Ecsta tires on tirerack.com. They handled better than the Bridgestones, and I was finally able to driv...

It might be worse than that. I called the Valvoline oil change place right down the street, and they said a coolant "flush" only takes 10 minutes. I googled flushing machines, and I guess they're usin...

Maybe I should've bought the 16" rims.......
Somewhat better than the old rims, I guess.....

I'm looking for an appearance bump that won't require any other mods, or effect my car's handling (great with 15" rims).

Haartz is the material used. Robbins seems to have a good rep, and a new top from them is around $550. I think my '97's top is original, so I've been looking.
