Just ordered MCS JCW!

Hey all, new to the forum, just wanted to say hi.

Just ordered an 05. I am coming from a G35 sedan that is a fantastic car, but i just wanted to get something smaller.

Here are the specs:

2005 MCS
Dark Silver/black stripes
Premium Package
Sport Package w/ web spoke
Cold Weather Package
LSD
Nav
Aero
JCW kit
JCW sills
Driving Lamps
Aux in
Security

Went for the aux in instead of ipod adapter...considering adding a Mac Mini to this mini for maximum mp3s.

Now trying to decide whether or not to get vanity plates. I've never had them before. Any suggestions?

The only roadblock to doing it is the power system, the Carnetix unit that allows the Mac Mini to power down correctly isn't out yet...

Congrats on the order, sounds sweet as hell...great idea about the Mac Mini...I got nothing though as far as suggestions for personalized plates...I'm pretty unoriginal, sorry Hope you don't drive yourself too insane waiting...I've got a week to go before I go to pick up my MC40, didn't order it obviously, but the worst part is I know exactly where it is, that it already looks sweet as hell, and it's just sitting there mocking me
