Wow........my RS 3.0 Search is finally over!
I don't think anyone has ever wanted one of these as much as I do and my journey is FINALLY over. What made it so difficult was that I HAD to have a manual. Going to pick it up tomorrow in Memphis 
It was great because it turns out that's so much closer than the other potentials I found. Here's some pics of the new box:

Ughh.......I hate color matched rims. I'm definitely keeping the rims on there probably take the graphics off since I'll get plenty of attention from the green box in the first place.

I kind of like that eyeball--but not the rest of the graphic. What are they charging you for those rims? Those tires look a little narrow--but it just might be that you need to lower it. Anyway--gongrats on finding what you want!!

I like the graphics, but my last car came with some flames up the side, I removed them within a month because they got dirty so fast, I could imagine what it'd look like a few years down the road.. and how much harder it'd be to remove them without faded spots around it..
congrats though

good job!
once you see it, do a complete inspection, look for dings,scratches,on everything including the tires and rims, also check the doors for any hidden rust under the rubber gasket @ the corners..
lose the graphics,do a tint and drop it just a bit..however..NO big butt fart pipe pls...[gawd.. hate those things!]
thats all ya needs for an excellente ride.
btw..I second the notion to ask the dealer for the steelies with the origional tires..always need the "backups" if poo poo happens.

Nice ride!
BUT!!!
Those rims aren't enkei's. They're the Tenzo GF7:

I don't know if the dealer told you that or not but maybe you can get some of the price knocked off if you bring it to their attention.
