Lil Bear,
Saw a white roof with white wheels. I thought thats the only way you could get them? It think the Dark Silver looks nicer with silver wheels because the white wheels break it up too much. Its a sort of "classy" color with lots of subtle variations as the light hits it and the white just draws your eyes too much. The red looks greats with the white wheels. Its loud and red but thats it. The wheels draw your eyes and I like that. Theres nothing subtle about it.
The headlights are stock autoleveling units. Funny to watch them try and keep up with the expansion joints on the cement highways on the island here.
Climate control.... i dont know what to say. I think there is a total of 10 buttons. You call that AUTOMATIC? Yeah, you just "Auto" and then select your temp but the fan doesnt blow fast enought for me, etc. Im from NJ, i've got no patience for it.
The radio is plenty loud for me, it just sounds horrible. So horrible that it hurts to listen to it for too long.
I dont think I have that grill but I doubt it has anythig to do with sound. My guess is that it makes it easier to close the hatch by giving the air somewhere to go. The exhaust sounds sweet.

BTW, I was talking to my dealer today and I asked him about your car and he said that they'd have to disclose to you if it was shipping damage but if they drive into a pole at the port, thats a whole different story. Hope it all works out for you soon! Its worth the wait!
