Placed an order for this 2.4" Antenna today. $15 shipped.







Next pay check ... window tints. My eyes are set on 3M but cost is high even for a 2 door coupe >_<
I'll bite the bullet because it's God-dang hot down here!

Looks awesome man!!

I bet it's tough fasting over there in that heat and humidity!! Ramadan here in Texas is pretty rough too, but much drier! Alhamdulillah we still have the courage to work on our cars though!!


Enjoy your car!!!

Ramadan has been tough with the 100
+ degree but its coasting by. Ramadan Kareem.

The tips fill the diffuser perfectly. I'm sure tints will follow....

Ramadan Kareem to you guys as well!

Update:
Since I'm not getting any tints soon. I had to find something nice to not burn my hands every time I enter my car. Oh and don't go by the odometer. I'm at 600 km. Been busy with my dad being here and staying in town for the next two months. Gonna be a while before I break-in.

That seems like a good idea!

I like how you still have the plastic on the cruise control stalk.

No, I remember I could move it an inch and half more inwards if I wanted.

Silicone covers for the smart keys arrived today. One in RED, another in black.

Guess which one I'd gone for?
Matches the car.

Small update(s):

1000Km service
Made it to 1000km service last Saturday (18th Aug'12). Luckily I was able to snap some shots from my phone as the car was being worked on just in front of the customer waiting area.





Short Antenna

I have now installed the 2.4" antenna in place of the 7" stock one. Haven't been able to take photos of that yet. More on it later.


Window Tints (need your suggestions!)
Looking around for some 50% off deals on the window tints. Anyone wants to chime in on the following brands pros/cons. Legal allowed is 30% only here in Dubai. Guys, I need your honest opinion if you know any of the products listed, thanks.

- LLumar (?)
- 3M (CS 35)
- Solar Guard (?)
- O3 (High Performance)
- Madico (Charcool 35) or (Onyx 35)

Imti! Is there any way you'd be willing to send the black key cover over to Lebanon? I'll pay you double for it

I also got new exhaust tips since mine were bare as well.

I'd love to know what you (and the community) think!


PS: I also have a picture of my odo when it hit 1000km
