Very nice interior, enjoy! I also love the CF pieces that accent well on a lighter interior color. I believe I have the same interior than your car (grey-ish or light blue). Looks like your car has a lot of options, like the larger exhaust chrome tips, 3 spoke steering wheel, CF pieces, Litronics. Depending on your budget, you can do some additional mods like clear side markers, Alu-gauge, and Alu pedals
Cheers,

hwk72: Good catch on the puddle! I took those pictures about a week after I bought the car and the day I took those pictures I noticed the puddle also. After looking into it (and spending a lot of time here!) I figured it was the expansion tank. I took it to the local indie(the nearest dealer is about 75 miles away) and he confirmed it, so it was replaced along with a new cap. End of problem.

The car just turned 85K. Excellent service history. I bought it from an individual in Dallas. He was asking $28,900, I bought it for $28,000. In addition to the coolant tank, I had to buy one rear tire(odd because the other 3 are nearly brand new) and a new set of floor mats, graphite with euro trim and silver "Porsche" script.

Kolshak: I love where you mounted your TomTom. I'm moving mine today!

The upper console(horseshoe?) is that graphite-colored plastic on the upper portion and grey on the bottom.

Thanks for all your comments!

I'm planning on doing the clear side side markers soon. A friend of mine has a black '04 TT with clear lights and his side markers look much better than mine. I just did the floor mats, bumper plugs, driver's door lock plug and took the air bags stickers off the sunvisors.

Welcome Down South! Actually to Floridians like us, you are way Up North, and way West!

Hey, is that a Solo2 on your dash? I have the same one in the same spot.

Yes, it's an Escort Solo 2. I've had it for a few months and it's been very good. Saved me from a couple of tickets. The powered version is supposed to be more sensitive, but I didn't want to deal with the wire dangling around. Same as the TomTom. I turned off the X band since it not used by any law enforcement office in our state. Saves a lot of false signals.

Thanks for all your comments.

I'm really anxious to spend some quality time with the top down!
