Dude u do know u can get gen 3 calais' right?

patulllose- The calais has more of the little mod cons that people have mentioned, but like you mentioned looks pretty ordinary exterior wise in its stock form. Have you seen one with the hbd kit though? If you want all the extra features of the calais with a more 'sporty' look it might be the solution for u. Thats what we did, and it stands out from the multitude of bog stock ss's :yeah:
