Sorry! It's automatic, with 2 kids in the back, I need all the free hands I can get.

Things I've done to so far:
NAV, fog lites, spoiler, bumper applique, cupholder/floor illumination, mats

coming up:
custom knob, tint, clear bra, rims

someday, hopefully:
dvd headrests

no pix since I picked it up. Really need to do that!

did you do any of the adds yourself? is the NAV very difficult?

Picking up my 5.0 tonight (Auburn, WA) as soon as I get off work. Can't wait to see it. I have no idea what number it is yet.
I'm having the dealer add the following mods:
Fog lights
LED rear lights
Door Sill Illumination
Under dash/cup holder illumination
premium Audio System
19" wheels
lowering springs
rear sway bar
strut tie bar
cold air intake
Tinted windows

They probably will only get the wheels, stereo and fog lights on today.
They said they'll need to order the other parts and install them this coming week.
I'll post the number and some pics ASAP.

Wow, why didn't you just go all out and get the supercharger while you're at it?!!

LOL, no seriously, that's awesome. Sounds like you're gonna have a LOT of fun with that car. Did you roll all the add-ons into your loan or did you pay for them separately? If you have the cash it's always better to pay for the add-ons separate, that way you're not paying interest on them. Also, once you drive off the lot your resale value drops, and thus the amount your insurance will give you if totaled will not match what you owe. I was tempted to have them add everything, but y'know....

CONGRATS. Can't wait to see the pics, especially with the 19's and the spring lowered. can't wait!!

GoodnNuff · 06-21-2008, 06:39 PM

Well you know, the plan was to not roll them into the loan, and pay for them out-a-pocket. But I'm old and impatient, and wanted it all now! So I rolled them into the loan and used the cash to bring up the downpayment (traded in my 2002 Wolfsburg Jetta as well). So yeah, I'll be paying interest on those mods. - But I do have GAP on my auto insurance, so I won't have to worry if my loan is more than the car's value - the GAP clause will prevent me from losing money. I also extended the warranty to 10 yrs/100,000 miles and the dealer is installing loJack as well.
Once my wallet recovers, I plan on adding the quick shifter, performance shocks, performance clutch, and torque-biasing differential.
The supercharger would be nice though, huh? Maybe next summer....

wanabe · 06-22-2008, 12:43 AM

wow nuff, looks like you gotta be older to have that kinda dough. I'm 28 but not roling that deep yet!

How much for them to extend the warranty if you don't mind my asking?

And lojack cost too?

Nice, I'm putting shortshifter, front and rear sways, lights, sills and some other non-scion parts. I'm probably keeping the performance/suspension parts TRD for warranty purposes (unless I get sponsored, but that takes a lot of work).

I'm prolly gonna do an Iron Man theme, check out the link if you want.
Iron Man GRM Theme? Ideas???
Remember Nuff, we like PICS!

GoodnNuff · 06-22-2008, 04:13 PM

Got the RS last night. They only had time yesterday to install the stereo, will have to take her back tuesday for the rest of the mods.
I have #1395.
Tried to post a cell phone pic, but I'm at work and can't resize the pic on this PC to load it, so will post a pic tomorrow.
I put 112 miles on her last night - she only had 34 miles when I picked her up.

Karma · 06-22-2008, 05:52 PM

Welp I'm in the club now too! Details to follow. Am looking at these two wheels as the perfect complement to the Gold Mica.

The first one is the pricey Enkei rpf1 - completely sweet but $300 each in 18"s with center caps. The second one, which I will probably get is the MSR 043 at around $110 each but only come in 17"s.

wanabe · 06-22-2008, 08:54 PM

I like the MSR's. Too bad they're only 17's. With a little drop tho' they'll look good!

CYBERICK1 · 06-23-2008, 09:30 AM

Why is it that everyone seems to go with black wheels lately? I thought about sticking with Gold...

Ladies and Gentlemen: I Present you... >OZ Crono HT Gold<... 18"

Areally "fast-cheap" presentation... (please don't mind the reflection of the hubcaps...

)

What you guys think? Compatible? Or not? Is just that I am not such of a big fan of black wheels... Although I did thought about it... something in gold with some Golden Insert/Accents. Still undecided though... Want to get the back wing/spoiler first.

Karma · 06-23-2008, 11:00 AM

I just personally think that there is already too much gold, like inside for example. The black gives a nice contrast as is seen on this one:

Yup... You are right Karma... It does looks nice.

And... A Gold variation?

Sorry... My Bad... I couldn't help it... Gold is my newest obsession.

Kind interesting look, but very funny by changing the color.

My extended warranty was about 1400 if I remember right. Raised my payment about 20/mo.

I like the MSR's better.

GoodnNuff · 06-26-2008, 09:01 AM

I think I paid about $1200 for the extended warranty, and about $900 for the LoJack. I bought a pkg deal; LoJack, Extended Warranty, and lifetime oil changes.

On the premium audio system, the graphics only disply in greyscale???
I thought I could change the colors, but apparently that only applies to changing the color of the button's lights???

LOL...My car is schweet!!! but the guys at the dealership seem to be pushing my look cause I saw another set up just like mine. gotta get more mods.

I like the gold accent Cyberick1, the wife wants the studs accents done in gold.

wanabe · 06-26-2008, 05:44 PM

^^^That does look AWESOME! Some gunmetal rims with the gold lip would look cool too!
