Post some pics when you get the car.

I will definitly post some pics tomorrow. Funny that I chose against the Nav and the wife and yesterday ran all over town trying to find furniture stores by address... we both got a kick out of it.

I'll probably do an aftermarket nav so the wife and I can swap back and forth when we need it.

Thanks again guys for the input... it's been a long weekend waiting for her.

Don't listen to this guy (sorry oughttoreturn!). You'll still be able to change your gears on the console with the selector, and you can get aftermarket 18" wheels later. Get the NAV...XM NAVTraffic (if it works in your lace) is aswesome!

those 18's in the sport package are from enkei and would cost a pretty penny to get, also u get a much nicer fascia, bigger brakes, an LSD (which makes a big difference in the drive), sports seats with 6 extra adjustments, and stiffer/sportier springs.

ps - the aftermarket nav option I showed can do FM/XM traffic also not that it ever changes your path home since there's always one route we take, traffic or not ... ahh the daily grind

so +1 on your choice

Some last minute changes... went with plat graphite since my blue slate was sold out from under me on Saturday. This has been a miserable experience getting this car in my hands but I'm happy that I *should* take delivery today and getting 1 of my 2 color options.

So plat graphite/graphite interior should be here in a few hours.

Had my 2008 Plat Graphite w/ Graphite Interior delivered to me yesterday.

First impressions are good... very good.

What's proper break in procedures?
