The longer I own a GG, the more I like it. It wasn't the color I wanted. Red or blue would have been great, maybe white. An aluminum roof, however, was non-negotiable. This left the RS, which I already had, the MR, and the newly introduced (at the time) SE. The MR, though available in red, wasn't what I wanted, which left a silver/grey/black SE. Seemed at the time like the GG with its purple hues was more of a color than the other two.

I agree. I have a GG MR and Love it every day. I drive with cleaners and wax in the trunk and passenger seat to clean while stopped or parked.

When I get a garage I will definitely do it, at least until I get sick of it.

i think its great how every time i leave my car i always look back and just love the way it looks and i always look forward to driving it, i think you should be able to enjoy something you paid a lot of money for and will use every day (its my DD) one of my simple pleasure in life

Where in Minneapolis are you? My girlfriend is from Stillwater and has a lot of friends in that area, and we may be flying there to visit her family in the next month or so.

I also have a GG IX SE (though I see yours is the MR), and I still enjoy my car a lot since the day I bought it brand new, yet it's still completely bone stock, which doesn't bother me at all.

Take off that silly trunklid spoiler :P

I live a couple blocks off Lake Harriet in Minneapolis.

The spoiler came with the car. I'm not a huge fan of it, but I like it better than the big wing, and I'm not at all a fan of cheap/ gaudy ways of covering the wing holes. I plan to keep it on until I can have no holes at all-- either find a Lancer trunk or a CF trunk and have either one painted to match.

Ah, okay. I respect you a bit more knowing that you didn't put it on there. (Obviously I'm not a fan of that wing in particular.) If it were me, I'd take it off and sell it.

If we go and end up in Minneapolis (as I'm sure we will, since my girlfriend's best friend lives there), then maybe I'll see your Evo haha.

Do it. I even use powdercoated flat black MR BBS' for the Winter.

I dug through every post on every page of the "Official Graphite Gray" thread and the only wheels colors I like were black, matte bronze, or SBC RPF1's.
