Congrats

Congrats geetleaf, I'm right with u. Picked mine up on Sat. , joined the forum beforehand to get info. I got a silver '04 and took it in yesterday for the recall (couldn't wait any longer). Just received a call and it's done. Replaced plugs, battery and flashed the ECU. I only drove it for two days but I'm eager to see how it runs now. I'm sure you'll have fun with it, I'm already loving the way this thing drives. Here's some pics, have fun.

Thanks for posting the pic. Looks like yours came with the Appearance package but no spoiler.

Happy modding!

PS: You could also post a pic or pics in the Calling all Galaxy Grays in the Pic forum.
