    I like the look of the black center console but not sure how I feel about all the black in the center of the dash. Looks out of place. Overall I don't think the exterior looks too bad. The smaller scoop was a bad move in my opinion. Not nearly as noticeable as the older scoops.

    Well, at least it will provide better visability. No body wants to run over grandma in a crosswalk cause you couldnt see her through the scoop.

    I cant wait to see it. Im gonna hold off until at least January. I want to pay of some of the last of my loans first before starting up another payment. plus it will give me a nice burst of cash when I sell my current car.

    I think I will end up with Nfabs as well. Make sure you get a build page going with the BHLM.

    i could do w/o the new steering wheel, but i like the additional black in the interior and the front end is growing on me. i really like the slimmed down scoop and the new mirrors. wonder if the hood, grille, and headlights would be swapable:popcorn:

    I like all of the new interior except the gauges.

    The new exterior is fucking horrendous.

    Okay I am disliking the new facelift more and more now. Whats the point of the hood scoop if its just a little slit in the hood compared to the big openings the 05-11's had.

    To each his own I guess, but the new front end looks hideous......to the point of it not ever growing on me. I'm sure there are plenty that like it though. Overall, the single bar/grill on the 2011 looks great. Wonder why they only did it one year?

    Its funny how the most hatred of the front end comes from 2011 owners. Its funny cause they sound bitter and pissed off. If you dont like it, you dont like it. why the bitter nastyness?

    You gotta justify your purchase of an '11 i suppose by hating on the new one, even though I don't like it much either.
