3 page intro thread, I knew it was a woman.

Welcome to the forums. MS3's are a great vehicle. Have you test driven any?

From Morrie's eh? Nice. You didn't work with Jesse did ya? He's a friend of mine and sold a cars to a few members.

Also, get the side moldings off and a good security system. There are more than a few people who'd be happy to steal that ride from ya :p

Yes, I did work with Jesse. I mentioned that I got his name from this forum, and he mentioned that he was friends with "Dan" who I am assuming is you :)

I love the clean look of the shaved side moldings, but I'm going to keep it as-is for a while just to make sure I don't rush into doing anything to it too soon! Any recommendations for a good security system?

NICE! Jesse's a great guy. I leased my 06 Mz3 from him 3 years ago and bought the first 08.5 MS3 Morrie's got in from him a little over a year ago as well. Probably 2 dozen test drives in between.

And yeah, I am Dan. I wonder if I can get ANOTHER $50 referal... lol

I was joking about the security system, there are just some other members who'll certainly be jealous of the white paint and the SWEET alcantara seats and piano black trim. I've got an 08.5 as well and at least one guy has stolen the dash trim piece above the glove box.

This was my first time buying from a dealership. There were a few kinks, but overall it was a pretty exciting experience.

And yes, the white... I just couldn't settle on any other color :)

I'm not planning on doing any heavy modding, maybe a few aesthetic mods here and there...

1. Bought an iPod transmitter a few months ago.
2. Buy set of steelies & good winter tires.
3. Maybe tint (eventually).
4. Maybe shave side moldings (eventually).

The beauty of this car is that even if it's stock, it's still a rock star!

I'M OFFENDED!
Shaving side molding is literally a 30 second job. Peel, done. They're just on there with sticky tape.

Yeah moldings are super easy to ditch. After hangin' out with the crew on here for a bit Shel, you'll probably end up doing a lot more stuff to you car than you imagined, because you realize how big a difference some of the small and often times inexpensive changes can make. Like shifter bushings for example. They probably run about $25 or so, but they make a huge difference in removing the inevitable sloppiness of the shifter.

I've heard it's pretty quick -and free- so that's the kind of mod I like!

I did a few mods to my last vehicle, and it was pretty addicting! I love cars so the (smaller, cheaper) mods will probably be inevitable, but I'm taking my time to start in on all that. I'm planning on keeping the MS3 for a loooong time, so I have plenty of time to do little things here and there :D
