Senior 500 Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 The car came in last Tuesday, 11-6-07 and was perfect except for the fact that the dealer never got the 52T off my order when I changed back to black with the OH stripe. So after some talking to the dealer they agreed to get me stripes. The stripes we agreed on were painted on at their body shop, I got it back today. What a great job they did. It looks like original and has a car finish on them. The color is actually Black pearl slate metalic... a little darker then alloy. Wow, what a great looking car. As for the ride...I don't have the first complaint. Not a rattle, rub, and anything else. Everything works. I'm getting better with first gear. The car is like a rocket ship. I love it. Spare tire problem is resolved with the purchase of a new wheel and a front 255/40/18 tire. I'll have that as my spare. I'm not as brave as some of you. I got the windows tinted to 27% in the back and 35% on the side glass. I'm real pleased with the job this shop did. It took about 1 hour for the job to be done. My mods are done Thanks for all you various input, it really helped me. Sorry about no pictures. I tryed upload them twice and I get the Upload failed message. I'll figure it out and upload them at another time. Senior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6-Speed Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Spare tire problem is resolved with the purchase of a new wheel and a front 255/40/18 tire. I'll have that as my spare. I'm not as brave as some of you. Congratulations on a fine care! How well does the spare fit in the trunk? I assume it does not fit in the well. What did you do for a jack? I am having some rattles and noises fixed now after 950 miles. Friction Modifier had to be added (per a TSB) to the differential to resolve some noise during turning and one of the rear shocks will be replaced. Enjoy the ride!

Senior Congrats :happy feet: Be sure and post some pics (this is a good way to have originals, before you start modding ) Two small things after owning mine a year that I've seen pretty widespread on 07's and they might have corrected. If you have the optional leather (like) wrapped dash, it will develop a small rattle/squeek in the lower right side of the windshield by the a-pillar. Usually a small piece of felt or I think some said it went away with just AmourAll. And I've talked to a couple owners that have small wind noise at the driver's window bottom by the door lock. And that's all I've seen or heard of. And just remember, if you have your oil changed...make sure they know it's ONLY 6.5 quarts...not 7! Let us know how you like driving it...and you have to go to any Sonic...I still get about 3 or 4 camera phones clicking pics when I pull in. :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
