    Coming from the guy in Alaska! :p

    I stand by my opinion that white hides dirt, dust and other crap that makes a car look bad except bad bumper stickers. Those show up well on white.

    Despite my sarcasm, I really do like BP white and am glad we got it. It wasn't even on my long list of color choices but it was the only thing on the lot at the time. It always cleans up nicely!

    I hear ya. :) I didn't want a red car nor Ivory interior but it was pretty much the only available car and I didn't want to get on the 4mo waiting list. I grew to love it but I'm very excited to get back into a white car with dark interior.

    You're going to get me in more trouble. I'm already sitting in a dark room alone because she thought I went outside to talk to you like there is some big secret. lol

    Sweet! You're gonna love the Five. I'm jealous of those LED headlights now that I'm losing my FX-R HID projectors and going back to halogen. Post pics when you receive it.

    Aren't those the wheels under our wheel covers (i.e. stock alloys 15")?

    Add me to the list of people who think white hides dirt well! My old CRX was white, and it would slowly (and evenly) turn grey over time. When I washed it, I like to wash half the car, just so I could see how dirty it really was......

    I needed to wash my car more often. My car loving brother was aghast and laughing at the same time.

    Nice!

    What about the window tints?

    Thanks,

    Nice SoCal - is there a link to the work on your car? Lower crome? Mirrors with signals? That's not factory is it?

    Wow, all from the factory, that seems stock to me. I love it. I like the factory wheels. Welcome.

    I'm on Eibach springs & the wheels are my 16x7 +40mm offset winter wheels/tires from my 07 Corolla CE. I just put them on to see how they fit. :D

    Nope, 16x7 +40mm offset Sport Edition F10 that I picked up from Tirerack many years ago. I've got a set of 205/55R16 Bridgestone Blizzacks on it for my winter tires that I use on my 07 Corolla CE. I'll use my stock 15" wheels for my winter tires on the Prius & I'm hoping to decide on a set of summer wheels & tires soon.
