You're right about our drive shafts being CF, I checked the pricing on replacement and the drive shaft for the M/T is $1,207 where the drive shaft for the A/T is $385.

heated mirrors is grand touring. touring does not have them. i have a post somewhere from 2003 where i posted the spec list which initially said heated in touring. then a month later the official list came out for the pre order and they were gone from touring

I did it today, documented my effort with photos. This worked really well for me. Within 2 days of owning the car, I knew I needed to move the clutch pedal closer.
