I love seeing all these photo shots of new cars. The newness will wear off eventually, but for now, I love it. Thanks! And thanks for the shots of the accessories. I'm still anxious to see the "sports gauge package". My local dealers still don't have accessory one in stock, much less installed on anything. :-( I like the scuff plate and pedals, but I can do without the gauge overlay and brakes. I also like the rear bar... Might have to do something about.
For reference, here's mine:

And here's a shot of the road I drive it on 10 miles each way to my house:

What I like:
-The Brake handle looks good
-The pedals look good
-The thing on the door step looks good.
What I dont really like:
-What's with the times new roman font on the shift knob?
- The bezel looks like construction paper. The flat black stock one is much better.
The final verdict: NO OPTIONS ON MINE OR NO DEAL!!!!! I'll add the options later if I want them. Fireball will hook me up.

Nah, I didn't get to drive it without the accessories so I can't compare but the comedian (DB8GSR) 
has a stock black one, so I'm sure we'll compare one day. And yes, that's the biggest rear strut brace I've ever seen. A lot thicker than I was expecting.
OH! I saw the gauges over the weekend. They actually looked decent. The cover was off so I can tell you that there were about 10 wires connected to 10 other wires, so it's not a harness/plug-n-play type setup. However, I still don't know if I want them. The talk of them being less accurate spooks me a bit. I'm hoping with this new info, the experts on here might know if that's true or not. Any thoughts from anyone?
And thanks for the nice comments!

Hummmm , I thought the pedals would look better????? Are they slick at all, does your feet slide around on them?
So the color of the hyper ground wires are silver?
Hummmmmmmm....Im not as impressed as I would like to be.
Congrats on the car.

I'm actually happy with all the accessories. I wasn't sure what to expect when I walked in. I knew they were on the car but I hadn't seen them yet but once I saw them I was happy.
The thing I like about shift knob is that the red part glows almost like it's got an LED in it and it's red so it matches.
As for the font, well it's just numbers to me. Personal preference I guess.
Feet don't slide on the pedals.
The wires are actually more gold in color, and you can't quite see all of them in the pic.
The instrument surround looks good. It actually looks stock. Doesn't look stuck on, which is cool.
The pics didn't quite come out perfect I think because of the flash. These things, just like the car, tend to look better in person. And of course, everyone's welcome to come look.
