Indoor and late afternoon light was not ideal. Drove it across the Bay to the clear bra installer. Get it back Friday evening, then it's break in time.

Terry,

It's a GRRRRRRRREAT color. And you're the first one to spec it. Just lovely.

Enjoy in great health.

Terry, one of the best colors I've seen. Wow, a brand new turbo with zero miles to enjoy all as your own. Doesn't get much better than that. Enjoy my friend.

Congrats Terry!! Looks gorgeous.

Our cars probably left the factory about the same time

Would love to see some hi-res photos when you get the chance.

Plus, your first impressions. I myself think the new exhaust is much deeper sounding, especially in 1st and 2nd gears (although may not be as noticeable with Tiptronic).

Agreed about the exhaust. I was already doing after market exhaust shopping weeks ago. My first impression is that I need no more noise in the cabin for my 4K mile trips. (RPMs and exhaust are independent of transmission type

I leave the house early a few days a week, and don't want to wake the neighbors. I thought I had to have quad tips, but I am going to let the stock thing be for a few K miles.

Don't know how to post any higher res with the 200KB upload limit. I'll be getting some nice shots on CA hwy 1 in a couple of weeks.
