I guess it's been a couple of weeks since this question was asked and answered well.
Check this thread: https://www.thirdgen.org/messgboard/...ML/000252.html . The guy who asked that question had basically the same car you have. You'll probably pick up on the differences.
It has a link to another thread with more info.
