^ also wondering about the headrest... never seen that before.

Those are standard headrests on ALL seats for the 2008 (as far as I know)... They are called "active headrests", and have an airbag-like cushion inside, which rapidly inflates when rear-ended... Another safety feature. They are also the reason why you can not install the inVision headrests (removing "active headrests" sets off SRS sensor and voids the warranty).

Those are the headrests on the Sports Package seats. The Comfort Seat headrests are slightly different.

I have the same mats (floor liners) and love them! I put them through their paces this last week with all the snow we've been getting in Colorado. The liners hold onto a lot of slush and snow and keep it off of my carpet!

Forget to show up at the dealer for the backup camera issue. had that done on monday and got the car back yesterday. all MY 2008 have the newest camera installed and the software should be the newest also in your case (as it is in my car too, now). Unfortunatly the camera performance during darkness still is poor (or even useless...). Your dealer canīt do anything for you in this case. You may turn off the obstacle markings in the camera view and adjust brightness, so it gets a little better...

Most of all, congrats for your new ride, wonderfull car, enjoy it.

so long

Christian
