Well, I had to wait almost a month, but Friday I finally took delivery of my '07 Azure Pearl tC. I had fog lights, mudflaps and the rear bumper applique installed. They were also supposed to install a rear lip spoiler, but it had to be back ordered, so I'll have to wait a few more weeks for it.
Man, this car is sweet! Plenty of power, handles great, but also still handles bumps and rough pavement with applaumb. Love the sunroof, but I'm gonna have to upgrade the stereo system. It needs more power and bigger speakers, but other than that I can't find anything I don't like about this car.
I'm installing new SilverStar Ultra halogens in place of the stock bulbs and I got one side done last night, and then the rain started. They are much brighter and definitely whiter than the stock bulbs with just a tinge of blue. I'll post some pics for comparison in another thread. For now, check out my profile gallery pics and let me know what you think!

Funny story -
Was being chased by a Civic today...come to find out he had turbo under the hood, and after dusting him twice, he accused my BONE-STOCK '07 tc of running a supercharger w/ like 20lbs of boost! Poor guys turbo took like 5 minutes to spool up with any usable power...will they ever learn?

It sucks that I have to give my car back for 3 days though
I'm having them put in heated leather seats (I don't like cloth seats), mud flaps, rear lip spoiler and wheel locks. At least I they are giving me a loaner car for the 3 days.
First things to change are the antenna and the hard rubber shift ****.

I'll try to snap some pictures of them when I get the car back. I dropped it off last night and won't get it back until Friday. Hopefully I can get my digital camera to work.
This is the dealership I bought my car from. Scroll halfway down the page under the Interior section and you'll see the options:

Got my TC in August, but just recently found this site. Mines a 2007 super white. No extra options except for floor mats (and only becuase that's what it came with, but I really like the car. Got the 5speed, that way when this baby is paid off, it's modding time. Great site by the way, excited to be here!
