What about PIAAs? In this entire thread I didn't hear anyone mention PIAA bulbs. I've used them in my motorbikes and cars and I have to say that they consistently put out whiter and brighter light than stock. They also cost about double what any other manufacturer costs but they are worth that...

JDM Mudguards I wonder if those mudguards would fit our GT models.

Cool. That's good to know. Fortunately we'll be using the infant carrier for a while yet seeing as our baby still isn't born. The bugger is almost 2 weeks overdue now.

Well if the heated seats are not critical, then I'd opt for the aftermarket leather because you can choose you colors you like and have it be two tone like the fabric version or as in the pics above. Looks way better IMHO. The brown is just the wrong shade. If it looked more similar to the Mazda...

Thanks, Martman. Looking at what's involved to install CAI, i doubt I'd get one or the whether the wife would approve. Its her car actually. I am considering a K&N replacement filter but not sure whether that would help with the snake of pipes leading to the airbox. I think my first upgrade will...

Just the one on my avatar. Nothing else different to show that anyone hasn't already seen. Had I bought the Galaxy Grey and leather I suppose it would warrant a few more pics.

So finally picked it up and its all that I hoped that it would be. I ended up with an 07 pearl white GT with no leather. The galaxy grey is newer color but my wife thought that it just looked to gloomy. We would have loved the red but since no reds in 07 we stuck with white as neither of us have...

I wonder how hard it would be to retrofit the cloth with the heaters from the leather. Then again, it never gets cold enuf to really need it, especially in Vancouver.

Okay, we've all heard about Galaxy Grey as being a new color. What about the other new color. Any one seen it? Pics?

My answer below in italics.

I went by the dealership today to check out the 07s in person and I have to say the espresso brown leather was a bit of a let down. My wife actually hates the color and I'm only so so with it. In any case, I think we'll be opting out of our Galaxy Grey 07. She didn't like the Galaxy Grey that...

Hmm... I dunno they're just the non GT rims. I imagine you'd have to in the US too no? If you get the base model? I think I saw them on the US website.

Well if people hurry up and buy up those 06s we'll get them sooner.

Those are the GS or standard rims. The GT model still has the the same 5 spoke wheels.

Yup. I was tempted to walk closer because I noticed the gate near the Mazdas were open but I figured it would be trespassing and who knows... maybe they have guard dogs and shoot on site... okay maybe not... but I didn't bother. I wasn't that curious to see the interior.
