    Ah yes... another proud owner!
    I started a topic of looking to buy this weekend, and now I am a new owner!!!

    After driving 3 hrs to the dealer (due to better pricing) I got there only to find they had sold the type II model in winter grey I wanted. :mad:
    I was stead fast in my pricing of what I wanted to pay from the beginning, and so the dealer basically sold me the type III for the type II price!!
    Add in some free floor mats and I am good to go!

    So now I am back home ready to digest the owners manual and dvd!

    Happy as a clam and getting high off that new car smell................

    I just installed the fog lights on mine a couple of weeks ago. The car looks much better with the rubber blanks gone. The fog light kit comes with everything that you need and easy to follow instructions.

    with all the goodies I got... floor mats, free 10 yr 100,000 mile warranty, under carriage protection from salt, tar/asphalt coating in wheel wells and under belly parts for sound dampening, and paint protection..... add that with the 1000 price cut of getting the III model for the price of the II, and the wave of $500 bucks off the down, I am pretty happy!
