Very, very nice. I've not seen the white with that hot red interrior. Very sweet. Welcome to the greatest club on earth. People are going to think you have Bell's Palsy or something, because of that constant smile on your face and glazed look in your eyes. Had mine for 10 mos and it just keeps getting better. Of course a modded air intake and GHL Bullet cat back exhaust helped. Enjoy your ride...
