Excellent!!!! Welcome to the club! 
I'm looking to swap in the coming months
After you've driven it for a couple of weeks, do us a favor and post a detailed review about the shifting, tranny, interior, likes/disklikes etc.,

Darn it!
OK, congratulations already. Yet another 6-speed is sold. When will this madness end? At least you didn't get it in black.
If this keeps up, even my nerdy neighbors will be driving a 6-speed soon.
Welcome to the family... I think.

Thanks
Thanks for the well wishes eveyone.
Give me a couple of weeks and I'll become a regular around here.
For now, most of my free time in the near future will be spent
breaking the car in. I only have 200 miles on it so far.
Is my brother and I the only ones that think the splash guards
look a little too cheap? I am still unsure if they are even that
effective.
Thanks again,
MW

6-speeds rule. All the Auto guys are jealous and miffed they didn't wait!
^ I am not, I bought mine about the time the 6-speed was due to come out and knew I would have bought '03 auto anyway... .
I'm sure most who wanted to badly enough made the trade to 6 speed

that the mudguards I have on only partially block debris.
How did you paint them anyhow?

I had them professionally painted for $100. The shop used some sort of flexible treatment for the plastic.

Dude, welcome to the fam'.
Now you just have to drop it like it's hot (hot), drop - drop it like it's hot.
(Comptech springs w/ Koni yellow shocks and Comptech swaybars are a good start... or just go with coilovers and Comptech swaybas. )
Don't worry we'll give you more than enough ways to blow some money modding her up!

Perhaps a dumb question, but what do the coilovers do anyway?
I definately look forward to getting some good ideas for mods.

Basically coilovers are springs that sit on an adjustable perch. The adjustability of the perch raises or lowers ride height. I purchased TEIN SS coilovers last month. They are simply the most incredible mod I have purchased so far.
I can adjust the drop from near stock height to three inches. If I want to change the ride "stiffness" I simply turn the top of the 16 way adjustable struts. I currently have the ride set up about 15% stiffer than stock, but it can be adjust to softer than stock.
The downside...$900-$950. But if you plan on going aftermarket springs and struts you will be looking at about $700-$900 anyway. Might as well do it right the first time.
