I think I'm a little partial to red. Here's a pic of what I drove 2 vehicles ago. 14mpg on premium is what made me get rid of it.



I took a HUGE hit on it when I traded it in. I guess I wasn't the only one who thought a 400HP SUV wasn't practical in 2008.

My friend at work got the red with the 18" chrome wheels and then added dark tint all the way around. It looks awesome!

MIke,

Does your front bumper have dimples where a front license bracket should be mounted or is it smooth? NC also does not require a front plate but my front bumper has dimples for a front bracket.

They all come with the dimples for mounting a front plate.

Mike, how do you feel about the 18" vs the 17" in terms of ride and tire noise? Thanks.

The ride has a lot to do with the tires. I have the crappy Bridgestone's, so they're a little noisier than the Michelin's. As far as ride, I wouldn't want it any softer. I feel that with 17's, the ride is more floaty. At least that's my experience with the prior version with 17's. I've never actually driven the 6th gen on 17's.

Thanks. I think I'm going to go with the 18" wheel. They look so much better!!
