The SC styling is, "hey, look at me now", but it won't age well. In a few short years it will yesterday's look.
The Mav has styling that will endure the test of time. The restrained surface lines and the proportions will remain handsome for years.
Look back a dozen years ago at the styling...
Your build is virtually exactly like mine, ordered almost at exactly the same time. I picked mine up 11/10. IMHO I think it's the most handsome looking Mav build.
Back in the day I would have been all over the speaker replacement myself, but at my age now I really just prefer to pay for stuff like that. But, I agree that the stock speakers kinda suck. Been thinking about getting them swapped out for something better.
Great to see other Mav owners in Las Vegas. Ordered mine in Aug, got it early Nov at Gaudin Ford. Pretty easy overall.
I first thought about getting an EB FWD, but I was concerned about torque steer with the turbo motor. My first AWD vehicle. I'm glad I added it.
