Damn dude, you must have the record for most accessories bought and mods planned before actually taking delivery of the car, LOL. Congrats ! And hurry up and install the front lip and post up the process so I can decide if I will get mine or not. FWIW, keep the ISPs, knowing you, you won't be happy with the stockers since just about every IS on the road has them. I know you can talk the dealer into a great deal, think about it, do you really want the dealer to take the tires & Tpms off and re-mount on a set of lesser rims (not to mention if they screw something up, like scratch your rims, mount tires backwards, poor job of balancing, etc, etc) Besides, IMHO the polished finish of the ISPs or G-spiders is better than chroming the stockers . . .

I know that eventually, I will get a ding or a scratch... It's impossible to avoid, so I just enjoy the car from day one... I even did a VDIM off and did donuts in the dealer parking lot when I took delivery!! haha....
OH, BTW, the pic where you see the shopping cart return is the Lowes parking lot, that's where I bought the switch I used for the nav override

Yes, you are totally right man, I much prefer polished over the painted stock wheels... And I am terrorized to let the dealer touch my car to swap rims... I'll see if they are smart and give me a good deal on the ISP Modes... Maybe I will keep them...
Front Lip - I am going to install it today... I think I will install it with NO drilling... It looks like there really is no need to drill, but I have all the tools necessary if I need to drill... I'll update my website with pics and the end of the day...

The reason I took so many close-ups is because the current pictures of doing the nav hack didn't have any close-up pictures, and I thought they would help people identify the bolts and screws better... I will take more videos as well... Hopefully the vids of my "smooth" nav will make people comfortable that the nav hack does work 100% with no side effects in 2006 and 2007...
