Somehow I think dimapb probably already realized this possibility but chose to go with the black/black color combo b/c is looks soooo awesome. Now that I see it, Red on Black on Black looks even better!....ha!

As for the sandwich - make mine a Rueben on Light Rye please (easy on the Mayo).

Congrats on the incredible car!

man, 500 bucks, that's a lot. they actually cost around 100 bucks, and i know some dealerships they indeed get a bunch and give it to buyers in december

nonetheless, the key is that black monster

Erm... 500 dollars is what it costs them to buy that bow?

Either they're very comfortable with lying to their customers or their bow supplier is hitting them up for about a 2000% markup because that thing can't possibly cost more than 25 bucks to manufacture. Maybe that's why they have to charge a premium for their cars... those darned bows!

Swirls are simply a fact of life for owners of dark cars - they aren't that easy to see anyway, and the casual observer rarely even notices.

Congratulations on that one dimapb - the color combo is perfect (I might be a little biased ) for the LS460L.

Thanks a lot guys. You are right, keeping it clean is really a PITA.
