After months of research and reading countless threads, I finally took the plunge and purchased my dream vehicle today. I picked up an 08 Black 6 speed Enthusiast. I am still a little in awe of my new car. I think I got a great price for the vehicle too. I ended up getting it for 28,196 before TTL. That was without a trade. I also ended up getting the splash guards, floor mats, all weather mats, cargo net, and the trunk mat included for that price. I have an appointment to get my windows tinted at 8 tomorrow. I think I am going to go 5% in the back and 35 or 50% on the front windows.

I really wanted to also thank the members on this forum as well. If it was not for you guys and gals I probably would still just be a troll saying "someday."

I plan on posting pics before and after the tint job tomorrow.

Thanks for everything guys

 

Sounds like a great price...Best of luck with your new ride!

 

Congrats and welcome to the forums!

 

sweet pick-up.. welcome to the fam. just keep it out of the iowa snow

 

Thanks guys. I'm pumped I just dropped it off at the tinting place. Unfortunately it is going to be my daily driver unless I can get my POS 99 eclipse up and running properly. I cried a little inside just walking outside this morning and seeing frost on her. lol.

 

Here are some pics I took real quick this morning before the tint job.








And now the frost..


Be gentle I am not the greatest photographer.

 

keep it out of the snow man its brand new

 

A big congrats! Why begrudge that it will be your daily driver. I'd rejoice.
Pics are great.

 

welcome to the family! your car looks exactly like mine..I know you'll enjoy it though.

BTW, you got a frosted Z going on, you might want to keep that car out of the cold dude, its BRAND NEW!!

 

Got her back with the new tint job today. Sorry about not posting the pics sooner. The car looks ten times hotter with tinted windows. I ended up getting 5% on the back three windows, 35% on the front two, and 5% on the front strip. I know some don't like the front strip, but I love them so.. Here are the pics.

 

My only future plans as of right now are to put my AVIC Z2 in. I just have to get the 06-08 double din kit ordered. I also have to purchase the Swi-ps to retain my steering wheel controls.

 

looks good

 

Thanks for all the comments. This is the first time I have ever really made any posts on any forums.
