Welcome to the club! Make sure to break her in properly and happy Rotoring.

ender_okc: don't you love how the water beads up in the V part of your hood? Looks like it's dancing for you when it rains.

love the water beading. had a hard time trying to shake, and it was just another item on the long, long list of reasons to smile. can't wait til i've got a few more miles on mine so i can really start to crank it a bit.

congrats to ender

Can't wait to see the pictures.

If you're going to get fender strakes, I highly getting them from a guy named Howard in the UK. He's the only guy out there that is making them out of Stainless Steel instead of the cheap aluminum versions that Mazda makes. (plus Howard's are still cheaper, even after foreign exchange, and international shipping)

Here's a picture of mine: (thought you'd like to see since I have tint, clear corners, and strakes)
