Picked up on 3/31. Here's a photo (hopefully):

(Hey! I think it worked!)

Photo taken at dealership. Had them install the fogs and the security system. I've purchased and installed everything else since.

Cloud Rider Grilles
Splash Guards
Storage Armrest
Front Air Deflector
Steering Wheel Cover
Carpet Mats
Cargo Tray
Cargo Organizer
X-Pel on the Fogs

I originally ordered GGM, but that was flubbed either by the dealership or the plant. When I expanded my color choices, the dealership found the FBP about to be built by the plant and had it re-directed to them. Honestly, I liked 3 of the colors (GGM/FBP/SOP), so this color suits me fine.

Many thanks for all the informative posts on this board! I might have a few more pictures coming soon (if/when we get a sunny day! We've already surpassed the avg April rainfall in Tucson, and that was in the first two days!)

Meanwhile, :D :D :D :D :D I'm just loving driving this baby..

V E R Y Sharp! Those colors are my three favs, as well. How do you like the security system?

Congrats!

PS - how common a (last?) name is Snowden, btw?

Very nice!
How do you like the steering wheel cover?
I've been thinking about getting one.

I like the security system. I'm not one who likes car alarms going off all the time, so I really like the fact that it only goes off if someone breaks in or if they open the door without using the remote or key. Of course, it's a trade off because there is no alarm if some minor vandalism occurs, but I don't think people pay too much attention to car alarms anyways...

Snowden is not extremely common as a last name, but it's even more uncommon as a first name (which is the case with me). In fact, the only other person with a first name of Snowden i've seen, was a pretty woman who was a contestant on "Win Ben Stien's Money" several years ago. Funny thing was, I think I tried out for that show about the same time as she did, but she wasn't in the group I was in, I would have remembered that.

I like the steering wheel cover. It was a painstaking task to get on (just stretching it over the wheel to begin with takes some muscle). I think I did an OK job lacing it in, I'm sure someone with experience would have done better but I'm happy. I like it for the extra protection, especially after seeing how the rubber/plastic on my old vehicle's steering wheel became worn after only a few years of driving.

Congrats & what a beauty she is! Very nice!!

I have the steering cover.. and I love it, fabulous!

I also have the keyless remote/security.. which is nice.. but the security system has had some minor issues itself where it would self alarm.. but has since been remedied.

The foglights were a must.. just incomplete with out!

Do enjoy, take care & have fun!

Took a trip partway up Mt. Lemmon and snapped some shots.

The only obvious add-ons are the Fogs (dealer installed), the Cloud-Rider Grille (powdercoat black doesn't show detail very well), and the front air deflector (Honda model).

I'm still loving it!

With sunny weather just around the corner (supposedly), I might trek back up the Lemmon and take some better pictures with better lighting...
