I've basically Elminated painting the car. I think I'm going to try and find a MR for cheap later, and either redo the seats in leather, or buy two new front seats.

The SSL seats aren't great, and the sunroof isn't all that. I know you live in Florida, but come on, the car has air conditioning!

Let's not dump on the SSL package. I primarily got it for the HID for my 05 GSR. I find the sunroof to be very handy in So Cal weather. Everyone who has sat in my car loves my leather Recaros instead of the ugly blue cloth. It gives it a very chic look and fell to it. The stereo is kind of a let down since I had an MP3 player and 10" subs on my crappy corolla but it kicked ***. Just my 2 cents....
