Do you recognize the rubbish? That's the wadded up Airbag warning label that comes sticking out of the glovebox!

That's a beautiful car man. Enjoy - I love the look of the appearance pack WITHOUT the rear wing - wish I had that - mine has the wing.

Oh man, that red looks beautiful! Congratulations!

Man, was that airbag label glued on tight or what? I was having such a hard time ripping that sucker off, I started thinking maybe it wasn't supposed to come off!

I think he said the red leather is aftermarket. They did a great job on it.

Hmm ... maybe I can find a shop to do mine up in yellow ...

Oh no, here we go!

Anyway, I think red, blue, and yellow are all beautiful. I say they all tie for second -- right after silver!

It's a sweet car Stew, but the body kit isn't my cuppa tea. I prefer the clean lines of the stock. Maybe lower the springs, go for some 19" rims, etc. but the stock body is as smooth as a baby's bottom.

If I was to get Red, that is the exact interior I would have wanted it looks sharp. Read the DIY section on this forum your going to find some cool things that you can do to your car.

Nice Car and Welcome to the club, just avoid the lounge :D :D

Yes, it's aftermarket leather, as evidenced by the fact that the car does not have a moonroof!

Great looking car, excellent color!

As I said, it's "off the lot" - buying the appearance pack wasn't my plan, but the car was there, it spoke to me, and well, here we are ...

Thanks everyone ! Mighty proud of my new 8 . Stew , I wasn't looking for the appearance package or leather seats , and when the salesman sent me pics ...and the price ... I couldn't resist it . The seats are aftermarket seats they installed , and I love them ! Car is so fun to drive and the looks it gets , makes it even more enjoyable . Thanks again everyone on here . I read this forum for 8 months , kepted my motivation up , and gave so much info , really is priceless on here

Your yellow 8 looks great but don't you think you need to remove the front license plate hardware??
