Thumbs up Cant wait...

I am picking up my new ride on Friday 7/17.
2009 Convertible Sport 6MT Platinum Graphite with Graphite & Aluminum interior. It's configured with Premium, Nav & Tech packages and the all important splash guards.

The anticipation is killing me.


I need to hear how much fun other owners are having with their new drop tops. Tell me how awesome it will be...

I am also thinking about a CAI and perhaps a minor modification to the exhaust - I need to do a little more research once i get the car in hand.

I am not a huge fan of the 10 spoke rims that come with the car and ideally I would like to do something in black or perhaps color matched to the body.

Potentially add the new spoiler when it is available...

Any other thoughs or suggestions?

Thanks guys!
The car is a blast. I think it is gonna take me a copuple of weeks to figure out all the navigation, radio and other user selectabel settings.

Initial observations after 150 miles:
She is tight & quick. Nice compact turning radius. Awesome suspension - sucks up bumps like they dont exisit yet ride is nice and firm when you want it to be. Radio with Bose surround kicks @ss & rocks loud! Cruising on the highway with the top down doesnt result in any wind buffetting at all. Cant use voice commands with the top down nor can use change the navigation or trip computer while in motion.

I am loving it!
