Congrats! I figured you buy an '05 since you'd otherwise have to change your member name. :

Congrats. Happy Driving. Don't forget about the break-in-period.

Just came back from a 60 mile trip. Here is a "car in tight garage" picture. Here are some questions and observations:

1. I hate the low placement of that freaking clock

2. I am not a fan of that Alumininum in the car. I am getting a wood kit ASAP. Jason from the "other board" seems to sell the better kit. Does anyone have any valid reason why i should not get it from him?

3. My car had only 14 miles on it when i picked it up. Yet it does not have that new car smell. I cant explain it? Can you?

4. Those HID lights that you guys always talk about, which ones are the best to get, how much are they and why again am i switching out the factory ones? Brightness?

5. I also got a black nose bra with the deal. Is there a reason why i should not put it one?

6. I also need to tint the front windows ASAP. How much should i expect to pay for those?

7. I CANNOT live without autolocks when i engage drive. Looks like my only way to get this is to install an alarm system. How have other diehards solved this problem? What alarm system and how much did you guys pay?

Congrats. I had delivery 2 weeks ago.

*I have the tight garage too. No second car though, so enough room.

*About the black nose bra...I don't have personal experience with bras (ha!), but I've heard you have to take them off in the rain because dirt can get lodged underneath and start scratching the paint. I'm actually looking at getting the 3M clear bra done.
