My Baby Is Coming Home

Finally all the nagging and annoying is done with
My MA jus called and was astounded by how fast it got to the dealership (just got off the boat yesterday morning)
So right now he is making sure they dont drill any holes in the front liscences plate and making sure everything is off the car from the shipping process (i told him about some people having the shipping blocks left in their cars, he thought that was halarious for some reason ) So now im thinking about going to sleep right now so time will go by faster. and ill be uploading all my pics into this thread.

Sorry about the multiple posts they were too big to put into one post. im gonna have a whole photo shoot tomorrow. gonna have some sweet interior shots with the ambient lights and mini connect tomorrow
(they messed up on the black headlight housings so they are switching them out for me and i already ordered new black rims from tirerack.com cause they also messed up on my rims [Not really liking mini of sterling that much anymore])

Looks great man! Yeah I have the same rims. The style isn't bad, but I REALLY wish they were black, or charcoal or something. I was just pricing out a set on TireRack as well, lol. Not sure I want to part with the money though. Are you ditching the runflats?
