Yes I agree. Nice angle on the last picture.
Shows off the well proportioned hip real nice (the car, not the guy).
Considering the huge amount of pressure P was under when designing the new shape they did very well. It looks just right.

What a beauty! Enjoy.

Mine is clearing customs and expecting delivery next Friday. I have a hard time falling asleep just thinking about it. Silly, isn't it?

Man, am I enjoying this car....it is incredible! I find myself driving the 'long way' home after work!

All the photo's I have seen of various guys cars look awesome, no matter what colour. I find the metallics seem to enhance the lines of the car more than the base colours. The metallics also change colour under different light conditions.

Peewee, I know the feeling! I even tracked the ship that brought my car to SA!

Looks great Bruce, congrats!

Would you mind posting a photo of the radio? I'm curious to see what it looks like. We only get cars with PCM standard here in the US.

What about the steering wheel? It's on the wrong side. Get it fixed now, while still under warranty. Otherwise, it looks really good.

I did the same while my car was on the boat and did that religiously for 4 weeks. My wife thought I was going nuts and rolled her eyes every time I went online. I guess something that they will never understand.....

As for your car, it is sweet looking and will post pictures when I get mine next friday!

Happy driving!!

Beautiful car!

Have you checked to see if this works without the Nav option?

Now this is interesting!!! I'm going to have to check with my salesman tomorrow.

Thanks for all the comments guys, much appreciated. I am still enjoying the car like the first day I got it. The performance and handling still amaze me.

Regarding the Iphone video above, I have tried this with the CDR-31 and it does not work.

This is my only bugbear with this car, NO USB! and there is no way I am paying an additional $5000 for the PCM just to have USB and crappy Nav that also costs $$$$ to upgrade every year.

Mac, if you need more details regarding PSE fitment then pls PM me.
