Tomorrow I'll be picking my 08 nautical blue 5-speed can't wait!! Only options I got were the premium radio and floor mats. I'll post pics tomorrow when I pick it up. I'm so glad I waited for the 5-speed, feels so much better imo

Yeah it really messed up my day.....I guess I'll see if I can get it repaired. If its able to be repaired, will you still see the "shattered" part?
But on the brighter note I'm a new proud owner of an XB

Yeah I know your pain man! (cept yours is a little worse!)
I just had my fog lights installed like two weeks after I got mine, and on the way home got slammed by a rock. Luckily, only left a chip and is in no need of repair, but it sure was a downer! Especially it being so new!

Hey guys maybe I missed it in the manual, but any special method for the "break in" period? How long is it? I've been varying my speeds and i've only reved over 6k once.
Sorry I didn't post any pics yesterday as promised. The whole family wanted to see the new ride

anyone know if the trd cai, swaybar, & springs can be found cheaper than trdsparks.com? My bro got a price quote with his discount and he can get the CAI for $295, Swaybar $145, & springs for $190. If not then I'll probably get them through him.

thanks for the compliment! As far as wheels I don't have a clue yet. I think 18s look pretty good but not sure of the wheel choice. I really like those axis wheels right now. Finally got to wash it for the first time and boy does this color look niiiice when washed.
BTW does anyone know if someone sells window visors that are the entire length of the window (or has a sliding extention). I can't believe how short these things are, it should have had a sliding extention on the visors.
