Thanks everyone!
Bimjo, I'm having someone do a clear bra and window tinting this weekend. I'll ask him about purple stripes.

Very nice, congrats! The tint is going to make it look extra nice, IMO. Hope it stops raining!

Welcome Violet! - Woohoo, another member to the Midnight Black Club.

BTW, I didn't realize you could get 16 inch wheels on an S, it that a U.S. only thing?

Hi!

I don't know if its a US thing. I knew I didn't want the 17 inch ones so I'm glad I was able to get the 16s. Of course, now I'm wondering if I should have gotten the black wheels. Something to think about.
