And some terrible smartphone shots of the new car meeting the old car. Don't worry, they didn't fight.
I'll take some real shots with a proper camera after I get the fun bits installed in a few days. Last edited by simianspeedster; 05-02-2013 at 12:13 AM.. |

I've decided on the following: Alpine White M-Sport Heated Seats Beige leather I was set on getting blue for awhile, but finally talked myself into white. I've debated about getting Coral Red seats, but thought I might not like it after awhile. |

Looking good...
And will look like a completely different car in about a day, too! So, then of course it means more pictures and glamour shots. |

I'll answer as Simian's agent and stand in while he's out of town enjoying himself while is car is 90-ized complete with accompanying tape deck.
He got a 35% tint and the infamous floor mats I almost bought at his advice, but may hold off on for awhile are custom made cocomats from cocomats.com in the black sisal #42, which is the only pattern/texture I would have considered. |

Michelin PSS 225/40-18 all around. I'm going with a plug kit and a 12V compressor for now...and the ever-present mobile phone, of course. If I ever take a serious road trip through treacherous territory, I may consider something more but I'm comfortable with my current plan.
I took a couple short, low speed drives around town (still fun) but I'll have some real impressions to share after the 100 mile drive home tomorrow. |
