Picked up my new baby!

[shootemup]

So last night, after a long anticipated wait, my 2008.5 Metro Grey GT with LP (5 spd manual) came in and I picked it up. Probably spent about 3 hours at MoT with Jeff to do 20 minutes worth of paperwork and orientation... sorry again Jeff :P Anyways, the drive home was great! Took her down some back roads and had some fun (not too much though, need to break her in). But yeah, I am very happy with this purchase and as always, Jeff was a great guy to deal with. Thanks for all your help Jeff!

The best part was the walk in client he had when I got there. I didn't hear the details, but I know Jeff probably gave him a great deal. But he wanted a white GS without a moonroof and there are none left. So Jeff made him an offer on one with a moonroof, but made a better deal. Well the client decided he would shop around some more and look for a better deal... :loco He'll be back!

Congrats, Geoff. I'm sure you'll love it even more after the break in period!

Looks Great Nice Pics.... I Really like the Guages with the White Needles its a nice touch.... the interior is very different from my 07 Actually

[shootemup]

Yeah, I really love the guages... they are blacked out and light up red when you turn the car on. At night, it shines a blue light on them and the contrast looks really sharp. Maybe I will take a pic tonight for those who have not seen them yet.

Geoff, I saw your car in the clean up bay on Tuesday night, looks very good in that colour.

Grats on ur new ride :)

[mazdathree]

congrats on the car....any mods planned? I'd change the Rims, get a raised spoiler on and a lower front lip :)

[shootemup]

LOL... well I dont know about too many mods. Raised spoiler is a must though ;) We will see about a lip.

[howes]

Who did the tint? and how much? Did you have an invisible bra too? Just trying to line up things for when mine comes in.

Car looks SICK with the tint!! Congrats on the new purchase :) :)

[shootemup]

Thanks guys...

Audio Heaven (TM3 Sponsor) in Richmond Hill did the tints for $200.00 bucks. Very happy with their service. Only took about an hour for them to do it and they have a nice waiting room with a plasma and tonnes of PAS magazines. As for the 3M bra, no I do not have it, although I have been thinking about it.

[TM3GX]

You picked a great place to get your tints done. I did mine there as well. Get the 3M bra done ASAP. I got my car on June 04th and I already got 5 stone chips on the front bumper, which I have fixed with a paint pen. Just do it man.

congrates on the the new car....looks awesome...what shade of tint did you go with?

[shootemup]

20% all around, metallic charcoal.

20% all around, metallic charcoal.

excellent choice...next week my drivers side door and passenger side door is getting redone to 20%...the dealer ship put the tint on and i don't like the 35% they put
