Default Got my Z from Southpoint, Austin last night, finally!

Chrome Silver and Frost Interior look great in bright sunlight. My wife gave it a big thumb up for both the interior and exterior color. She love it. Abyss, you will love your Frost interior too. Trust me, my wife is very meticulous about decoration and color matching. Light interior and exterior color make getting into the car in mid day in Texas summer acceptable. The Frost leather seat doesn't feel very hot in mid day.

Neighbors and coworkers, including one who own a red Boxster S, were real impressed with the shape and line of the real car. I was named the "Coolest husband and dad" by the neighbor. Was busy driving, showing, sharing and gave test rides to close friend and coworker, so just got around to post this. All the great thing about how great this car drive have been said by other members, so need to repeat the same thing. Found 2 defects in my car: 1) occasional metal rattling in the back of the car, can't trace to the source yet, but suspect exhaust clamp, 2) The Bose sub woofer sound was distorted after playing for a while. Any one have these 2 problems. Was underwhelmed by the sound of 240W Bose.

Here is my picture with the Z at the dealer last night and the info. per Jay's request:

Default Frost interior pictures with Chrome Silver

Thanks you everyone.

articfury, still on cloud nine. Will stay there for a while, at the minimum through this long weekend, then I might move down a notch. Going to Fredericksburg with my wife on Sunday. Yes, I am taking the long and scenic way. Plan to spend Monday with my Son, he haven't see the Z yet.

atcgo, mine came in Thursday around 3:00pm. I got to the dealer around 6:00pm, left around 8:00am. By the time I got home, I was tired. I drove a lot yesterday and today. Sorry to hear that yours didn't come in yesterday. At least you are waiting from the comfort of your home. I suggest you leave after your Z arrival at the dealer is confirmed. Here are some more pictures for you to enjoy while waiting for yours. I recalled yours is the same exact model and color.

knihc2008,

Frost interior pictures per your request.

Abyss,

A picture of Frost truck mat for you. The Frost color, especially the leather seat look better in real life than picture. When you're driving, you don't see the black floor carpet and black seat trim, so all colors are blend together real well.

Very nice.. You a lucky ****. My PPW/aero pkg should be showing up to South Point Nissan in a couple of weeks (Oct. 2nd) so they say. Eon & Art (Sales managers) are trying to keep me informed but sometimes I just don't know what to think. Seems like every couple of weeks they tell me a different arrival date. Oh well, congrats dude... Your wait is over.
