Nice! Hey, where are you in AZ? There's been a Smart that looks like yours in my "hood" for a few days now. My neighbors and spouse have spotted it (I'll be getting mine next week). Excellent choice on color. I am also getting red but with silver for that contrast with the rest of the black (I'm a graphic designer... that stuff seems to matter to me and probably only me!)

I live in Tatum Ranch area Cave Creek & Tatum. So I think you may have a twin a little farther north. Can't wait to take delivery of mine in a week (maybe less). Have fun with your Smart. It's looking sweet!

FWI, I just had my grille surround and both rockers painted and cleared. They had to smooth the surface of the rockers and use flex agents (every added chemical costs $$) and the total with the TN rip-of tax was $397.
