Well after 4ish months, she finally arrived yesterday morning to the dealership. Took the day off and then stayed up until 1 a.m. detailing on the off chance that it would stop raining long enough for me to take some pictures. It did and I did, so without further ado:[attachmentid=18126][attachmentid=18127][attachmentid=18128]

I think some of these pics would be better if the sun had actually come out.

Here are a couple more.[attachmentid=18129][attachmentid=18130][attachmentid=18131]


I made a gallery with a few more. I know there has been lots of discussion about Zainos, and I'm sure it's a good product, but I think Mother's paste don't do bad neither.

All I have to say about this car is WOW!

Thanks. I've been meaning to tell you I really like your posting name. It captures the obsessive compulsive nature of car fanics. And very nice job on your car. I especially like the ducktail and start button.

try the meguires tech wax - I have had awesome results with it...

Yeah the car is amazing - when its dry try turning off the Traction control.. and remove your HC trap.

I went to les schwabbs today to get prices on 255-45-ZR17 nearly a 1000$...for toyos... ouch.. they did say they would give me a discount for my p-zeros though....

I think I'm going to keep these stock and buy 18's for summer. I don't need real winter tires for winter cause I'm from Ohio (driven in snow for 20 years) and I don't ski, so I don't go to the mountains.

did you get a manual or automatic ?

I have decided to maintain the stock diameter - for performance. But wider & lower profile for handling...

Manual. Yeah, handling is why I'll get the 18's. 285's out back and 255's up front. Save the pirellis for winter.

Your car looks beautiful and the pictures came out great. Good to have the co-pilot to keep ya on the straight and narrow.
Congrats on your patience.

Actually, the co-pilot is always saying "Dad, can we take the fun way home."

W0W - that's just about the same car I just picked up friday night. Built the same week. I tried to post some pictures earlier but it looks like it didn't work.
