Nice and clean. The silver matches the car perfectly. Tints and an H & R drop and you're good to go.

The wheels look great. Have not seen wheels that look better than the stock sport ones until those.

Thanks for the (mostly ) kind words. It's been a week now and I really do love this car. Funny - from a mainly Euro guy...but seriously, unless I wanted just raw horsepower, why would I ever go back? Have you ever had to deal with BMW/Merc/Volvo Service?

I had two R's...an 05 then an 06.

R's are a different kind of fast. My S60R had the BSR PPC on it, which took it to almost 350hp, which helped. But here in SoCal...it's hot a lot. And heat soak killed the performance. Combine heat soak with the turbo spool up and the power was non-linear to say the least. When it kicked in it was pretty awesome.

The G is a faster car on daily use...and much more reliable. With only 3000 R's a year made, (split between sedan and wagon), finding and R mechanic at a dealer was a pain.

BUT...the AWD was quite amazing for handling. My last four cars have been AWD, so it took me some getting used to RWD. Oh and the turning radious was nonexistent...four + lanes to do a Uturn. No joke.

That answer your question?
