Got my SLE convertible with the GFX too. About to add an TRD RSB from Reggie. Love the club. Very friendly bunch and some really good info!

Got some Raggtop cleaner and protectant highly recommend it for you convertible owners. Really great products.

First pics when I brought her home (that's the MPV minivan next to her and my eldest son):

Convinced the wife that it was a good family car. It was either the Solara or a Sebring until we can afford the new 3 series hardtop convertible or C70 Volvo.

Like it!

I do think the lip kit is nice. I checked the supplier I use and they said it's not available as an accessory. I could potentially order it as a replacement part and paint it myself, however.

BTW- It's a shame that the dealer had to poke two holes in your front bumper for the advertising sign - especially when you're in a state that doesn't require a front plate. Do a search in the forums on some of your options.

I'm in California South San Francisco (the other Sucker-Free). We do need the front plate unfortunately :( I took the advertisement off since getting my tags.

That dealership is like 45-1hr away and I get it serviced at a dealership only 10minutes away.

At the time I knew a guy in the finance department and got a great deal so I made the trip out of town.

I sorta wish I had gotten the nav and they did offer me the windscreen but I knew I would have two kids in the back half the time so I didn't think the screen would be of much use.

Just can't wait to see how much better she handles with the RSB. My minivan's stock suspension has better handling than this thing. But then again, it is a convertible!

Sick and tired of this constant rain in NorCal!

Ahhhh... so THAT'S what my ride "could" have looked like! ;)

Too bad you can't get the GE package after you've driven it off the lot!

Welcome - enjoy the ride!

Yeah, I was really happy to see a few convertibles around here. The GFX was a deciding factor over waiting a month for a red SE plus pretty good pricing at the time.

Thanks for the warm welcome from everyone!
