This car ceased production over a decade ago. While some part interchangeability still exists today. I stand by my original statement.
Thanks, the car is actually dark blue, and I am blacking out the chrome around the windows this weekend lol.
I already did the chrome on the grill and under the headlights as you can see in the pic.
EDIT: Here is a pic from before I blacked the grill out, it gives you a better idea of the color.

No, but it has the 2.7T engine that the S-Line came with. I just don't get the cool S-Line trim
It's an 01 preface lift and they didn't have an S-Line that year, so the trim model I have is basically the S-Line. It has the lower suspension and oversized brakes factory compared to the non 2.7T models.
And a back shot

I still like this darkened "theme" on the car.
Those are two beautiful cars! Is that a single or twin turbo supra? And that looks like a grand sport vette? And what kinda bolt ons and mods do you have?
All 3 of our vehicles were together in the cul-de-sac, figured a family picture was in order.

How is the build quality of your Alfa? We had Alfa Romeos in the the US until sometime in the 1980's. It was mainly Spyders, if I remember correctly. I do remember that their overall quality was a bit on the sketchy side and I was wondering if it had improved. Recently, Fiat has made a return to the US after a long absence. So far, the Fiat owners seem quite happy with their cars.
I have always been a fan of European automobile styling and would love to see more riding around here in the US.
Haha, it's a bit of an ongoing joke about Alfa's reliability - and no - nothing's changed!
I'm currently arguing with Alfa at the moment trying to get some warranty work covered - All Alfa red MiTos chip around the rear arches due to thin paint
. But, even with the multiple issues I've had - I wouldn't trade it for anything! A small hatchback with 175ish BHP (after a remap) soon makes you forget its Italian quirks
Yeah, it's twin turbo and vette is a grand sport.
Mods I can think of on top of my head on the supra:
BPU +
HKS Carbon Ti exhaust
GReddy 3 row FMIC
HKS SSQV BOV
K&N Intake
GReddy EBC
Alfa is owned by Fiat, however so is Chrysler. I feel as though the Fiat brand was brought over because of the relative lack of entry in the stylish accessory car market. However it appears that Chrysler will be phasing out some Dodge cars in favor of Alfa in the near future (Jesus, please take the Avenger).

Much needed makeup. Particularly on the interior. Nissan interior is underwhelming.

100% true
Indeed, but really a face-lifted Honda.
Prior to 2009 you're 100% right. Now they only have some of the same parts, but the designs are completely different.
Probably true but a major insult to Ford.
Depends on the model. The designs are usually a lot different, but they are based on a collection of platforms. The Cadillac ATS, Buick Verano, and Chevrolet Cruze are based on the same platform, but the Cadillac and Buick are 100 times better than the Cruze.
Lexus and Acura are blatant uses of badge engineering, but Audi and Cadillac are not at all (especially since GM was under so much fire over the last 20 years over badge engineering).
