I can't wait to start buying the fun stuff! Although, it may take a while considering I'll be going to college soon. Oh well, I'll have enough fun with her with the stock setup

If the fogs are not broken already, I would put some kind of film on them (such as www.lamin-x.com), because they will more than likely break and they're pretty pricey.

I think the passenger side fog doesn't work, but I'm not sure if it's because it's cracked, or the bulb is out.

you own my dream car. i just got the same model, but in silver. i wanted black so badly, but oh well...

what i am trying to figure out what the purpose of the black metal plate on the upper rear window is? the one going over the upper brake light...

also, when you open the moon roof and drive with it on the highway, there is this plastic thingy going up on the front of the roof, looks like it's supposed to do sth. with the wind, but it scares the heck out of me, as it sounds AND feels like it's going to fly away if i don't hold it!!! did you notice that?

just asking 'coz you got the same model as me

I think the plate your talking about is the rear spoiler. as far as i know it really only helps keep your back window a little cleaner and dust free by deflecting the wind or something.

as for the plastic thing near the sunroof, it could be the weather stripping from the sunroof wind deflector. mine came loose and would slap up and down on the roof at speed.

Hm, not sure if it's the sunroof wind deflector. I did a Google search, and what I mean is the thing that goes up a little when you actually open the roof. It's NOT installed outside. I can push it down with my hand.

Maybe I should open a new thread for those questions ;-)

Thanks!

The only thing I wish it had (besides the 5 speed trans) is the locking center differential.
