Congratulations and don't worry about being nekkid, ours usually goes around topless. Your baby will attract attention regardless.

Yeah Nekkid! The first thing that I have planned is to give it (him/her?) a proper detailing. I bought a bunch of stuff from Richard (OctaneMan) including some Prima, BlackWow, Clay, etc. So that's my first step.

After that ... I'll be proudly applying the "actual size" decal from Aesthetic Creations. As soon as I saw that decal I knew it had to be mine. http://www.aestheticreations.net/. :-)

Long-term I'm looking to get some decent non-run flats, and perhaps an upgrade rear sway bar. Right now, I'm just so enjoying it, and getting the hang of the 6-speed.

I'm still not sure if it's a boy or a girl . . . haven't looked under the hood (I respect his/her privacy) . . . :-)

Looks great. Now start your modding list. How about checkered Mirrors?

THANKS! Technically, the Chrome mirror caps are an accessory already (default is black).

I'm waiting on a set of Pure Silver Mirror caps, so that I can change the look out now and again as I like. I saw these on a convertible and it was pretty sharp. I was surprised to find out that PS mirror caps aren't normally available on an MC/MCS - even aftermarket. So, I negotiated them into the deal.

I'll also add on Union Jack valve caps :-)

I should be studying for midterms...but 30 days to graduation and dreaming of owning a future MCS proves to be a considerable distraction. As if that's not bad enough, reading this reply just made me laugh out loud in the library! Totally worth getting this look from everyone:

haha this is weird, those words are exactly my situation! I had to read your name twice to make sure I didn't post it. I'm in the library supposedly studying for a midterm, and my mini comes next month as my graduation present!
