Very nice! I bought the same exact one on March 18th! I love the gold flake in the paint.

Yea the mica really makes it shimmer nicely.

I'm taking it to get its first oil change tomorrow, going to request 5w-30 as per advice from people here.

Looks good!

AT or MT?

Are you getting the oil change from the dealership? Some Dealerships (ignorant ones) may give you a hassle about 5W30, just a heads up.

Good luck with the car, stay on here and search around. This is a great place for aftermarket parts and discounts, I purchased all my upgrades off this forum. You'll also find great tips on maintenance and how to keep the car healthy for a long time.

It's AT because I don't like to be bothered with shifting... I know how I just don't prefer it.

Just make sure to redline frequently, you can forget to redline when the car is shifting for you

Nice car regardless

Oh.. well in that case you don't have to worry about transmission problems that some 09s have/had I think since from what I gathered, is due to the syncros.

I want to do tint but it's illegal in NJ so I'm kind of hesitant.

back side and rear window can be as dark as you want in new jersey.

if you do the backs 15%, you can do the fronts 40% and the cops will never notice.

but that will look weird.

+1, all that saving up makes is soooo much sweeter im sure. Congrats

Somebody dented my ******* door!

Anybody know if Dent Wizard is legit? It's not creased and the paint is intact, its right on the edge of the back door on the same level as the door handle.

This must be how a mother with an injured kid feels
