yeah they do light up...

 

I don't think his headlights were on, it still looks dark outside and doesn't look like any light was exposing his SUV parked in front of him.

 

congrats! nice ride

 

Great pics and great ride. Congrats and enjoy.

 

Car looks awsome !! Enjoy it on the road, but watch the potholes with those 19's.

 

this is not accurate. depending on the car in particular and the type of aero package, the spoiler may have been added at port instead of at the "factory". it is possible to have received a car straight off the truck (dealer didnt touch it) and have a third light present.

 

Congrats on the car! Too bad you can't drive it now though!

 

I think tekknikal is right, I did confirm with multiple people at the dealer (including the GM) that the car was received as is. This must have happened at the port. So far its unexplained, I've asked for an explaination and expect to be given one. This order went in as a 4-piece aero kit on the computer, no doubt about it, i saw i on the gm's computer myself.

at any rate, the car is just awesome, will be even better when the third light is removed and replaced with a cargo tray.

i spent tonight detailing it my way, will get zaino'd soon but not yet. i had a clear bra (3m brand) done and bought the wheel and tire road hazard insurance as well to address the crappy Massachusetts roads this time of year.

 

thanks for all the welcomes! still can't explain how excited I am about the car!

 

My wife just ordered the identically equipped car here in the Washington, DC, area. They said it would likely be 2+ months to get it made and delivered.

 

100 days is the rumor...

 

There was no mistake....if you would have instead ordered the Aero Package and Aero Kit (without spoiler), there would not have been a third brake light in the window. The Aero Package is factory installed, while both Aero Kits are port installed.

 

I picked up my black 05 6MT last night in Washington and drove it all the way back to Oregon in the pouring rain, but hey, at least its home safe and all mine!

Things I love so far: the sound (wait till you get it into a parking garage or tunnel!); the view of the front fender peaks as you drive; smoothness of the short shift lever (snick); knowing I have 298hp once its broken in.

Things I am getting used to: pushing the shift lever DOWN and back for R - had a heck of a time in a parking lot - thought shifter mechanism was broke; soft seats (softer than an Acura but nice once adjusted); HVAC and navi buttons all nearly identical (but will learn them in due time).

Its an incredible machine - I know what you mean about not being able to describe how excited you are. I hope the snow melts for you soon.

ps Mine had the 4 piece aero installed @ dealer and it has the 3d brake light too.
