Congrats on your new ride. I picking mine up this week (It arrived Thursday)...you said you got a good finance rate...what was your deal?

Mine is a Blue with Silver...can't wait.

Hope to see you on the roads on L.I. soon :).

I got a 4.6 rate for 66 months.....

(ducks down low)

are you a suffolk guy also? we may need a suffolk sub-section here soon!

Thanks for the info....yep, I am in Suffolk also...would be ready for any Smart trek out here...we should put something together.

cool beans. I installed the "magnetic sunglasses case" yesterday, and I am telling myself that it's smartie's first "mod"

. definately not a job for banana fingers. Jeebus, it was kind of a PITA. but, once in, it fits OEM sharp, and it a great addition to the cockpit area. ;)

can't have my prescription sunglasses getting all scratched and stuff.

if we do a Suffolk gtg, I'd be more than happy to help anyone put one in. next "mod" will be the trunk & net thingy on order form the dealer.

Then, it might be time to piss off the wife and get a lower than stock front air dam & splitter kit for Smartie's nose. Mu-wahahahh!!

Got the 1/2 trunk divider, just to keep things from sliding to the front, it also has a retracable cover for the trunk...

A Suffolk gtg would be fun...keep me in the loop! My household might get a second one of these...the other half is making noises about wanting her own...

It's just too cute and fun...what a great way to start a day...!!!

hey gigi, did it come with the car, or did you order it extra? looks pretty straightforward, a plug and play install as it were. definately looks like a necessity, unless you want to go fishing for your crap under the seat everytime you have to stop short!

GigiF · 04-27-2008, 08:50 AM

We paid extra, it was so worth it...it was somewhere in the 200-300 dollar range, they put it in within moments while we sat there. I think he had one in stock in Smithtown, I would have ordered it if they didn't.

gotcha. could have used one today! went to stop & shop, and had to strategically pack the goods so as to attain minimum "slideage"
