You should get the leather convertible top cover. Keeps the noise down when your driving and probably protects the interior of the top cover.
Should only be a hundred dollars or something, I'm very suprised your dealer didn't give it to you with the car, perhaps you should complain.
Looks great tho man, love the paint job. Idk if I would put any body kits on it, but I would definatly replace those wheels. My 2000 is pretty nice 5 spoke 18 inch rims. Idk where you would get them try looking it up on ebay.

No cover with the car. I am going to call the Dealer today about that. Also, only one key. As you know, they aren't the kind of key your local Mom & Pop hardware store is going to copy for you.
It also develops a disturbing front end vibration at 70 mph+. I don't know what the hell that is all about. I had it up to about 110 mph so far.
Sorry for my rants last night. I was drunk.

Mine tried the same thing on me. I did, however, catch it before driving away. That and a navigation DVD, which wasn't there! Geesh! Anyway, if the dealer refuses to get you one as part of your purchase, there's a guy on Ebay that manufacturers, and sells new covers that are really high quality, and closely matches the original color for $350 (email me, i'll get you in touch with him privately if you want). I told you I caught my dealer trying to sell me the car with one right, but I wasn't as diligent about checking that it was the wrong color boot! Sold it on ebay for $325, and bought a new one.

That's too bad, but not a dealbreaker IMO. Unofortunately not every used vehicle comes with both keys and a valet one as well. I would try to find a remote and a key from an ebay source, then drop it buy a dealer for the ol' programming magic. If you're lucky, he may combine the labor for programming the remote and key into a smaller total. I recommend lots of compliments and excitement about all of the scheduled maintenance you plan on having taken care of. (even if it isn't true)

Let's hope just out of balance sneakers.
