nice purchase. Welcome to CL.

Only thing out of place that i can see from the picture is the black carpet mismatching with the base carpet. Kinda odd combination.

however, love the black and white seats. Two tone seats are great.

I love the color of the leather, the black part of the front seats looks clean. And the peanut butter color wood is awesome...I like the whole color combo.

I like the ecru better because it isn't as yellow looking as the cashmere and the two tone with the brown is nice. I do not like the black floor mats on brown carpet though so I am going to see if I can find some brown all weather mats.

I don't get to Tampa too often. I go to USF but attend an off campus site.

I had a GFM that was wrecked back in August of 07 and that is why I traded.

Yes they are On the lighter colors the chrome trim on them doesn't look that noticeable either. They also flash when you lock and unlock the doors.

Yeah that is what I was complaining about in my original post. It is like they forgot about the floor mats (AND the steering wheel and shift ****) when they changed to brown. I am going to see if I can find all weather mats in brown.

IMO, I love the new gear box and suspension plus the fender without side indicator...

that is a hot color combo, ecru + GFM

Now the only thing I would've gotten different was the wood interior
