Hey everyone,

Got my 08 black/black this saturday. Drove off the lot with 22 miles...got home with 90 miles after going for a ride with my friends. It basically has everything I need. No parking assist, radar cruise, or headlamp wipers. Absolutely amazing car for $52 OTD.

I'm hoping to add some stuff to the car in the near future. Right now I'm working on the tint. Looking for 20% tint. What do you guys recommend? I'm looking for a nice dark color so I won't be putting on metallic or ceramic. The color is too light on those. Likely go with a dyed just because it gives a nice dark hue. Thinking about Formula 1 Classic or Lumar Llumastar AT.

Thanks guys. A couple things before pics come up:
1. need tint
2. need wash and wax (rained in socal the last couple days)
3. need to figure out how to post pics

The sticker on the car was $61K. Got them down to $48 which is $6300 below invoice. I'm in the OC. Got the car in Cerritos. Dealers here in OC are worthless. They all laughed when I said I wanted the car below invoice. Who's laugihing now????

I look forward to seeing some of your cars if anyone's in socal. I'm trying to make it to the Vorsteiner thing this saturday.
