Default My Thundercloud - FINALLY!

Well, I finally took delivery on my Flint Mica Thundercloud. Here are a few pictures I took today. These are going to be my pre-tint, pre-subwoofer/amp installation pictures. I am having the tint and sub/amp installed on Wed and should be able to post the finished product by this weekend.

Default Yep...

Yep, it sure is beautiful. Your car looks exactly like mine. Since I bought my thundercloud in flint mica on 4/27, I haven't seen another one on the road so it's definitely "unique". Actually, I haven't seen another thundercloud period so it's nice to have something a little different.

How do you feel about the rims? At first it took a little getting used to but now I definitely like it and even more b/c nobody else has them but me.

Ya, they are growing on me for sure. I personally prefer chrome, but I have decided to keep these at least until I need new tires. For me that will be years from now, and I can see how I feel then.
I really can't stop gushing about my new car, my friends are about sick of hearing about it, even though they all love it as well. It really is amazing how many features/upgrades there have been since my '02. And I can't say how much I LOVE the black wood trim, its just the perfect accent to the gray interior.

Got my tint done and amp install completed. Its a darn good thing I had that remote gain **** installed, otherwise my wife would be constantly complaining about the bass.

Really like the dark wood look with the light gray interior ... not sure I could get used to the rims though.

CONGRATULATIONS!
