Thanks!
Yeah, got it in auto because it'll be my only car for work and whatnot. Plus the ex-gf wanted to drive it if I was unavailable... ![]() Anyways, I got the car in white and it's auto with paddle shifters; from reviews, and having drove one in person myself, I've got no regrets... My stick-shifting playtime is over for now...unless I decide to keep the MR-S in the end lol

My first post! My wife ordered a SWP Limited AT as well in late June. Hope to get it between May or June!
Like your new tail pipe looks great! Where did you get them? What brand and how much? |

The new tips are from Canadian Tire..."Tuned Performance Exhaust, stainless steel exhaust tip" ![]() These look great for now over the stock tips as they stand out alittle more; not screaming rice, but not tiny enough to be made fun of. Alternatively, you can get the JDM ones which would cost you almost triple the price if you really want that look... For me, this is just a temporary appearance quick fix until a nice axleback I want is out. Also, I had to chase down a Crappy Tire to get these...haha, I went to three CT and none of them had these. Finally, went all the way down to Richmond's CT on Steveston Hwy and fortunately they had a few left. Happy hunting!
