    After a long wait (and it is with my hand held as high as i can extend it and spending all of my hopes and dreams) I finally got my wrx. 2002 Midnight Black Pearl from Paulasaurusrex.

    Dont really intend on doing any major modifications right away, but just thought I would post up that I am the new owner and very pleased with my purchase.

    It looked very nice today parked next to my co-workers wrx.

    I think you'll find out your car is actually blue.

    It was a surprise for me!

    This is a nice car, and Paul is a good guy.
    Congrats on joining the MBP club :biggrin:

    P.S: The color is Midnight Black Pearl, it is black with a blue pearl to it that comes out under direct light. It looks pretty spiffy, and only came on bugeyes.

    Except for the fact that OBP is lacking Awesome.
    MBP comes with this mixed in the clearcoat.

    True, it is Awesome deficient, but OBP comes with extra win.
