05 ride has arrived w/A-Spec

Just came back from the dealer where I checked out at my 05 ABP/Camel 6sp. As I metioned the other day the A-Spec did come in and it really looks awesome. Rims are the new ones for 05. They are shiny like the chrome ones, but a much softer/paler color (light gray). Somewhere between the 04 gun metal and a bright silver chrome. Rims look awesome with the blue. However, I noticed that one rim is scratched, where the lip meets tire, done during mounting no doubt. I am sure dealer will replace. Body kit is identical to last year. I can't tell if the mounting hardware is the same or not. It looks put on extremely well, no gaps. Went with lip spoiler. I am picking up car on Saturday and will do write up of first impressions if you folks would like. Mods will be hard wire of V1 and some sort of inexpensive/high value stereo upgrade. Thanks all!

Congrats!

It is amazing how many techno-junkies with the cash to buy a $40,000 car do not have digi-cams!

What's one thing got to do with another? I don't have a digi-cam and I would think there are a few more out there who also do not. If you don't need one, or you don't want one, that should be a sufficient enough reason to be without one.

By the way, congratulations also, Kid Flash.

Thanks everyone for the well wishes. The info on this site is simply great. Many of my decisions was derived (A Spec, V1, Stereo etc) from all of you, so many thanks. I do need to take pics, it really is a beauty. BTW, the 18" wheels make a world of difference.

Point well taken. Perhaps, I painted a broad stroke with that comment, but everyone here knows the first question to be posed is.... Where are the pictures?
