Thanks - I'll have to check for that! All the cars I've driven for the past 10 years have had the fuel filler door on the driver's side, so this will take some getting used to.

At first I did not like the window controls in the center of the car.
Then it made sense to me.
If they were on the doors like my old truck...water can drip down in from the rain. My power windows died in my old truck before I traded it in for this. Now I really like the fact that they are in the center of the car.
The ONLY thing I don't care for , and it is just a matter of training myself to not do it, is when I start my car manually sometimes I hit the windshield wiper on . That is all I don't like about it.

If you hold the buffer down you will soon get that same noise if you let ONLY the rear windows down the entire way.
(have to drive over a lake every day
) not to mention i never drive with just the rear windows down.

1. The plastic interior. I'm going to fix that with some custom upholstery and carbon fiber. The plastic wouldn't be so bad if it were at least two different colors, but it's just a wash of black.
2. The stock lock knobs. Fixed with smoothies.
3. The mesh that pops up in the sunroof. Fixed with a wind deflector.
4. The huge lack of interior lighting. Fixed in '09's, or so I hear.
5. The tiny tach. For the SS they should have traded the tach with the speedo or something. Added a shift light.
6. The stock antenna. Fixed with a black shorty.
7. The ginormous side mirrors. The ones on the Expedition are about the same size.
8. Wind noise from the giant mirrors and the sunroof. No water leakage, just wind noise.
