beautiful car.
Before you go with xenon look bulbs investigate an hid retrofit it will run around $300 you can find less. With this HID kit you get real HID lighting not just a look a like bulb.

I tried many bulbs in my car before I got the HID kit.
I bought my set from board sponsor Imagine Auto. Ask for Jearamy.

Congrats. I remember that day very vividly, I'll never forget it. Most of us grew up dreaming about this reality. Trust me the car will be much faster when you get the hang of it. Coming from the M3, the depress clutch, wait 1/2 sec shift method will work wonders. You already know what to do do. This car is in every way superior to the M3, but be prepared to miss the M3 when it's gone. The M3 and Miata are unbelievably memorable cars. Most people here will agree.

Enjoy. These cars are bulletproof otherwise and 700 reliable HP is only a few K$ away.

Beautiful car, congrats!

I came from an E39 M5 myself and the TT is in a different league, but I do miss the beast!
