P.S. Those wires are from my SIRIUS Visor radio my wife got me for Father's Day. I'm going to bury the wires this weekend.

Awesome pics.

I have two questions for you or anyone.

Is that dark charcol leather or fabic?

I was gonna get woodgrain on my interior but I saw the chrome and liked it. Can I have more chrome added similar to the pic below. I would like to have it installed on arm rest where all the power buttons are. Is the chrome on the doors standard on the LE model.

Chrome

It is a flat silver. The only chrome that I know of in the SE is the surround to the gear selector on a 6-Speed Auto.

Thanks, RockXP. It's the Dark Charcoal Fabric - and it looks sweet. As for your question about the trim, I'm not sure I know the answer. I just know that I don't like woodgrain.

You must have a CE like me. Yes, the brushed aluminum on the doors is standard on everything but the CE and XLE (woodgrain for the XLE)

Im glad I came on this forums. I learn so much everyday. I was considering leather but everyone warns me not to get it. Its gonna be hot, you will have to maintain etc. I just did some googling on leather maintainence and it seems like a pain. After seen the fabric, I likey..hehe.

TBONG..How about some backseat pics?

Backseat pics? SURE! Let me go get my wife's camera.

That's not true, man. At least at my dealership, the aluminum-like trim on the door panel is standard only on the SE. Both CE/LE has just stocked color coded plastic. CE and LE really are the same except the keyless and power seat.

I agree that aluminum door handle and control panel looks better. Dark charcoal is great too. But neither is available on CE/LE.

I'm sorry, what kind of tints did you get exactly? I can barely see a difference. I hope you didnt pay too much for those because IMO any tints lighter than 20% are a huge waste of money.

Lunar - they're 35% tints, and they are noticable. Mass State Law max is 35%. Both my wife and I are happy with the tint. You're welcome to your opinion, of course.

Lol, Lunar lives in MD which also has a 35% law.

Do you mind sharing where you got the tint job done and at what cost? I am a fellow MA resident and I'm trying to find a reputable place to get the tint done. Car looks great by the way.

Looking good.

In Colorado it is 27%... what an odd number to choose.
