Really nice capture drb5!





Put some more up in your gallery, looks like a sharp CR.
Thanks bud.

Still trying to get a hang of my first DSLR, but i suppose it's mainly down to what you SEE before taking the picture. lol

Sun is out today, so hoping to get some more wax on it and get some "shiney" pictures now.

You did good. Looks great.
Thanks!! I picked it up yesterday. The dealership treated me great and my MA (Liz) was fantastic. Thanks for recommending them!! I have to say, that is the best looking car dealership I've ever been to. I was very impressed with the entire set up. It was worth the trip across the state to go there.

Thanks. They are Enkei RPF 1 wheels in 16" x 7" ET 43 with Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 tires in 205/50/16. They weigh in at 35 1/2 lbs per corner. The setup I took off weighed 47 lbs per corner.

Actually the joey is a really easy and cheap mod...they only conflict is with your emotions when you are unsealing your headlights, but once you can get over that (which I highly recommend doing) the mod goes sooo smooth and you wont regret a thing

Here are 2 forums that have some how tos and some of our pics of the before and after:

Here is my 2008 MCS. 100% stock (for now) accept new wheels and tires that I just installed last week. Very happy with them. I went fairly basic on the option list as I planned to do a few upgrades "down the road".

I took delivery on January 31 and I have 980 miles. I have been taking it easy until break-in. Getting close now!

Here is the picture:
