Default Finally it's home!

Picked it up today. Here's a pic form the showroom before I drove off, I'll post better pics tomorrow. The car is a monster and the rims looks great (came with Pilot's), the car is very tight and pulls very strongly even in third @ 3000 rpm (did not go over 4000 though). The only rub I noticed is a slight to moderate vibration in the clutch pedal when 3/4 to fully depressed when accelerating; I had this in a new 01 from day one and it drove me crazy but I sold the car in less than 6 months so I never had it fixed; I know others here have reported this too; I be interested in the fix for this so please let me know. Anyway here it is:

500 - VERY nice! The wheels look good! Congrats.

In keeping with the season, you probably want to wait until after Halloween to get rid of the "Pumpkin" look by installing clear side markers.

I'm not understanding you - you have the clutch between 75% and 100% depressed while accelerating? Sounds like a short clutch life.

Thanks, the wheels had me on the fence but I'm glad they turned out to be a good choice.. I've got a call into Bumperplugs...can't wait for Halloween to be over!
