Just got back from Byers Chevy. Ordered an 09 SS/TC White Coupe with Ebony/Red interior. Options are sunroof, LSD, high-rise spoiler, reconfigurable performance display , radio w/ USB, and spare tire (I think that's pretty much all the options).
I can't wait for it to get here. I will have to wait a while, though, because Chevy has placed a hold on builds with the RPD (dealer says Chevy probably ran out of screens...who knows?), but it's worth the wait to me. Chevy's saying 60 days. As of now, mods will include tint, and I'm researching a good tuning solution.
Currently driving an 07 Civic Si Black Coupe w/ Navi. I love my Si, but there's no replacement for a nice torquey motor - and turbo of course! I am really looking forward to having some torque. I'm also looking forward to meeting everyone on the forum. I'm VolkSi on 8thCivic.com, but that's going away. (BTW, I always get this question, my last name is Volk, I do not have Volk wheels, and, no, they will not give me any discounts...bastards!)

I "borrowed" this pic from someone on here. Sorry, don't have my own yet. In any case, here's what I hope mine will look like shortly after I take delivery. Tinted windows and headlights, and shorty antenna.

The white with red is absolutely gorgeous boys. Nice pick up. I'm a little jealous. My wife would **** bricks if I even mentioned getting the new ss/tc. Maybe I will tell her it does come in 4 doors, just in case any rug rats appear.
Its not fair that girls get to flaunt that stuff when I have to hide every erection that I get. Imagine if girls just wanted to see our boners, thats the world i someday wanna live in.

honestly thats a pretty close argument, after alot of thought I vote those HID's just because they look outstanding. Where did u get them by the way, are they 3bspecialties or whatever? AND (newb question having never attempted any HID install) how hard are they to hook up? just changing a light bulb and mounting a ballast somehwere behind the light right?

The HID's are from a friend local to me, I met him of all places on newtiburon.com lol. My last car i decided i had wanted HID lowbeams and foglights so i went seaching for someone within Canada who had good kits. I happened to come across this guy in Vancouver and he mailed me the kits which looked sweet ass. Just recently, his brother and sister moved to Calgary to start another branch in their family business so his brother has a warehouse space leased with a big garage door at the back and room for 2 cars inside. He now does alot if HID kit installs(his brother) and did both my installs for 3000K fogs and 8000K low beams only and my friends ss/sc kit with 8000K fogs and high/low. Now........unfortunately guys, GM said **** YOU to HID kits, if u try and install HID's on an 09+ and i think 08's too, it will fry the aftermarket relay that comes with the kit. We spent 2 hours working on mine to try and make it work only to fry 2 relay harness's. The ss/sc worked perfect the first time we installed it but for some reason GM did something different that says **** YOU if it senses HID relays. The result, I am left with only Lowbeam HID's and absolutely no usage of my highbeams, that's another reason i put the HID foglights in. As for install, the foglights we had to trim 2 of the plastic clips on the HID bulbs so it fit properly, same had to be done on my friends ss/sc, easy to do and works perfect after. The lowbeams were a cakewalk to install, mount the ballast behind the headlights with a few zip ties and the mounting bracket, the foglight ballasts were even easier to mount, the drivers side we actually were able to screw it onto a bracket down there we found and the passenger side we mounted it to the OEM lower intake mount. All in all the foglights took us 2 hours to install with taking the front wheels off for easy access to the foglights behind the wheel liner. If anyone is interested in kits u gotta PM me, i haven't been able to get my guy to become a vendor yet as he just had a baby and doesn't have any spare time to speak of anymore lol..............wow this became a long ass post
