    Shoot, you're lucky. I've got to wait for something to come on a ship to Germany and no one knows when anything will get here. I really wanted the auto TRD OR DC but all they got in was manuals...looks like I'm waiting another couple of months...and I already sold my car! Fuuuuuuuuuuu...

    :drool:MGM but i am biased. Ive been toying with the idea of trading up in about a year and if i did it again i would either get the MGM again or go with white or silver.

    nautical blue metallic. Thats the color of my 06 and i love it. it looks fantastic when u clean it and polish it up. The only pain is it show scratches and chips really easy, but all dark colors do.

    The Pyrite Mica is my favorite. Silver is easy to keep clean though and it makes for a cool his and hers picture.
