It might be a '96, but it's got the 90-93 wheels on it...
I agree, although my wallet currently doesn't :(

Looks clean, score.

Make sure that when you order your rollbar, you are confident it'll function with the glass window. Some are designed to, others are not. If making your own, same applies. Basically, some of the back braces on various models can interfere w/ the lack of flexibility in a glass window.
