I would think this way :
Clear bra - keeps the car looking nice , if you do buy it. I hate the dings we get up here from road grime you probably don't see salt, sand like us.

Trucks dropping bombs in road in front of you will ding up a front end. We see that a lot here.

That color is killer.....I love gray ...so nuetral. I just saw it on a RX ....yowser....in the sun its spectacular. The metal flake just sparkles.....

White pearl is sweet too. White is easier to care for.... have fun deciding.

Those HID's or the Sylvania Ultra? That was quick~
My state requires 2 plates as well. Once the permanent ones come, will install it up there. For the time being, I have no problem advertising it for them for free.

HID kit! Had a local guy here installed for me. 3 year warranty labor and parts. I just don't want to deal with it.

What HID set you buy?

I have another question for remote starting, what exactly happens on a hybrid when you start it remotely. I'm seriously confused on that one. (not hard btw)

No idea of what brand HID kit. I got his site from here. http://www.gcop.net/

Not sure about the remote start. I doubt I will ever need it. I park my car inside garage. And weather here doesn't get too too cold. But hot yes.

Darienlim,

Congrats on your new CT F Sport SE btw.

I finally got some clarification on the LED headlamp option for the SE package. It all depends on how your region ordered it. Those who are fortunate to be here in the Western Region will get the LED headlamps packaged with their CT F Sport SE. For those in the Central and Southern regions, it will be halogen headlamps only. So if you really want LED headlamps for your CT F-Sport SE, find a dealership here in the Western Region or here in CA if you really want it.

Looks great. I love my HID lights. How much did you pay for the install?

The chrome around the windows seems to be dark, but the wheels do not? Camera distortion or something new?
Great color by the way, I waiting on the same.

Nebula Gray or Starfire Pearl that is the question
I ordered my car in Starfire Pearl, then when Nebula Gray came out I cancelled that order and ordered the Nebula Gray. But I've never seen one in person and dont really know how dark it is. Mistake or not?...

I get it.

That's what I thought too. Btw, the driver side got misfire few times, I can live with it for a while and until it never lights up again, I will call that installer and ask him to fix the issue. Any of the HID users have had this issue before and what's the remedy for it? I would like to hear from you.
