Thats the biggest problem with this car. I think the new fenders are hideous...

Congrats and welcome! If I may ask...how was the buying experience? What kind of deal did you get? Thinking of upgrading to an R3 myself.

Thank you. Buying exp was easy. I did all my pricing over the phone, allowing dealerships to make one bid. They made bid on phone or emailed it. Best price won. Winning bid was $1000 below factory invoice price. Went to dealership, wrote a check for it and drove it away. IN and OUT just the way I like it!

he said 1k under factory invoice, so im guessing around 28k+ttl
im looking to get one over the summer, waiting for the 2k cash back they had over the summer 2008, hopefully the rebates will come back this year.

Yeah dude, you know the broken window theory for crime right? cos unmowed lawn = property not maintained = vandals come by = HEARTACHE..

just kidding.. I love the R3 but we don't have it here so got the luxury version.

Can anyone tell me what the difference is for the front aero bumper between the R3 and normal 09s? For the life of me, I can't tell the difference? is it the small protruding bumper lip?
