Default Traded tC1 for Raven Black FR-S

So the plan was to just "look" at the car hoping that no one was at the dealership. That didnt go well.. when I was looking through the windows of the car and taking pictures a voice from behind me said "Wonna sit in it?"

From there I was hooked. Took a test drive. Loved it. Bought it. Here are some pics. Today I changed some of the bulbs that I had on my tC to modify it a little... including yellow high beams and chrome rear turn signals for a cleaner look. I'm going to be throwing in an HID kit soon. Only 4 sold in my area... Tell me what you think?

Lol there's no such thing as "just looking." Had I been able to trade my car in when I went I would have.

Lol I know I thought about that when I logged in to post these pics. XD And I love how it handles. It feels a lot like my mom's RX-8. I like how you can see the fender flare looking over the dash. It's a great car!! It handles excellent. Words cant describe the feeling.

They let you take the car overnight before taking in the tC? All looks good so far.

I'm not sure about the florida charge that you're talking about. I'd have to look back and see the charges. It came with tint and mudflaps though.

some florida dealerships brought up the price to 31k then the regular msrp because of the hype it was generating
