esMada 01-15-2007, 11:38 PM Welcome, post some pics as soon as you can. Good list but what about wheels?
dtxmob 01-15-2007, 11:42 PM I didn't want to sacrifice ride quality for now. I will definitley get some nice "22 rims later on though! By the way does the Armada shift knob on your car fit and match the QX?? Thanks!:hi:
razzlee 01-16-2007, 12:36 AM The shift knobs are interchangable.
You will actualy gain ride quality with better tires and 20" or 22" wheels. The Tires have a lot more to do with ride quality. Big heavy wheels can zap some of your HP, but trust me, the 5.6 can handle it!!
Good choice getting the QX... and again, Welcome to Club Armada!!!

BLACK QX 01-16-2007, 10:25 AM Congrats and welcome. I notice you have a 3M clear bra. Im thinking of getting one also. How do you like it, and is it obviously noticeable? Again welcome, and thanks!

Better handling I agree, but more comfort???? :confused:
dtxmob 01-16-2007, 06:12 PM Thanks for the warm Welcome! I might trade in the ride again in August for the 2008 Version! But in the meantime I will have to wait on doing any major upgrades!? I actually haven't installed the 3M clear bra yet. Although I am thinking of using this company www.premiermobilegroup.com (http://www.premiermobilegroup.com/):D

Like razlee says, they are interchangeable. They come with a 8mm, 10mm and 12mm adapters. Strangely enough the 8mm adapter is the one that fits. As far as matching the QX, do you mean color wise?

Yeah color wise because I have the Dark Wood! Thanks for the info.

I apologize, I'm not familiar with the QX's interior wood colors. Does it almost look black, dark grey etc?
Wildblue 01-19-2007, 03:43 AM Congrats on your new QX!
As far as the 3M film, I had it installed and so far it works great. (about 3 months) The dealer wanted something like $1800 for it, I had it done aftermarket for $600.
MCmada 01-19-2007, 03:22 PM Welcome! I'd also recommend an upper billet grille!:cool:

Your ride looks nice. I was thinking about changing only the lower grill to the billet style.:D
supamada 01-19-2007, 07:40 PM Welcome aboard from sunny Fla! I think they will do a totally new design for both the QX, and the 'mada in 2010. think ya can hold out?

Wildblue 01-21-2007, 08:52 AM Oh, and yes, dtxmob, I think you're the first one here to own a 2007 model!
BlakSpyda 01-21-2007, 02:05 PM Oh, and yes, dtxmob, I think you're the first one here to own a 2007 model!
Nope! Drew is the first owner of a 2007 in the forum. He got his in Oct 2006.
Wildblue 01-24-2007, 01:44 AM Eh? Are you sure? The 2007 QX56's just came out within the last month.
Ah, I think you might be referring to Armadas...
dtxmob 01-24-2007, 02:45 AM WOW! I didn't know I was the first on this board to purchase the 07 Model!:D I now want the 08 when it comes out!:crikey:
