Thanks guys. Should be caught up responding to everyone that sent me correspondence.

Yes, I believe that if you're going to do it, you may as well over-do it :)

For some reason the original owner ordered a Silver 4.8is with Blue Accent Trim. I think the trim is nice, but not on a Silver X.

My question is this - Would anyone, that has the wood trim, be...

It seems to be ok now. I chaulk it up to a stuck flap, but then again I have to fist-fight my wife to be able to drive it (I bought it to replace her car). I will check this weekend to confirm that...
