Not sure if I'll use the lane departure warning or the night vision, but they are cool to have. The only problem... it's night and I can't take any pictures! I'll try to post some tomorrow.

My black kidney grills are already on the way, now I just need a recommendation for window tint in San Jose!

Thanks to everyone who has helped me over the last year find my dream car. I held out for what I wanted, it took a while, but I got it!
off Monterey Highway, between Tully Road and Umbarger, I think it's called California Window Tinting. Had my 550 tinted there, a bit more expensive than other places but I can vouch for the work of that place since I had so many cars tinted there. The shop itself has been there for more than 17 years.

Congrats on the new car...I'm regretting not getting the '08 model now since it has better goodies than my '06. But then again I change car so often may be it's better if I get something on the cheaper end.

Definitely big congrats man! Welcome to the club. You're gonna love it more and more with time. Watch out for the MOD bug, you'll end up paying a LOT more for the car than you thought once you start adding up the mods.

If you want your windows tinted, use my friend Rommel with Canlas Mobile Window Tinting. He used to work for Extreme Tint & Polish in Santa Clara and a bunch of local members here got their cars tinted there but now he's moved onto doing the mobile thing. I'm also thinking of getting mine redone by him. I think his prices are very cheap. For a 4-dr car, everything except the front windshield, he only charges $220. Everything behind the driver would be $170. Let me know if you're interested.

And congrats on the new car!

Tony
