Watched the show last week, good review and great clips of the car in action!

Dan: I noticed in your signiture that you have chrome grill inserts and chrome door handles. Where did you get them? Do you have any pics?

Thanks, Ed

Thank you Ed. In just a little bit, you will enjoy your beautiful car as well.
BTW, are you gone have Sirius? Maybe this is why your car is at the VPC a little longer (they need to install the antenna on the rear deck).

Dan, I ordered the non-nav entertainment package with now for 2006 includes Sirius radio. Baybe that is what's going on. I'll post what happens as soon as I find out.

Thanks, Ed
