There are 3 or 4 tiny rock chips! 
I don't drive it nearly as much as I'd like. I've put about 12k miles on it in the 4 years that I've had it.

Nice! The Gunmetal Vivo's look amazing on black cars!

I pulled the front bumper and cleaned the rads. I found many leaves, a small bucket of sand and a dozen smokes. Definitely worth the hour spent.

Finally had some free time to fit my GT3 front bumper and eBay mkII side skirts. Side skirts fit but still need a little adjusting to be 100% perfect. I'm hoping I have some free time next week to start paint... Thank you again to fellow members Lcrivers816 and ParticleWave for the great deals & Nine8six for designing such an awesome LED windscreen!
bumper repair from this...
...to this
Also got around to installing my LED wind deflector!

After getting them all polished and waxed up I installed used smoked OEM (2003 version) tails. These replaced clear DEPOs that I think were just a little too modern and bling for my taste. Some may think me nuts to go back to old school, and get rid of DEPOs, but with my color and this model year car I think I have finally achieved the best look goin (in my opinion anyway). In the last year Ive purchased smoked OEM side markers, smoked/clear OEM headlights and finally smoked OEM tails. I might do something different with the 3rd tail but so far still pondering what to do with that. DEPO pic included for comparisons.

I don't think you are nuts at all! I have thought of doing the same. The fact that I can not get both of the two red lights(for brakes) on the DEPO's to light at the same time bothers me. I may do the same and find a nice set of the non amber OEM tail lights. The change looks great!

Got the top replaced. Ordered from auto tops direct, Sierra top. Looks really nice now and the glass rear window is a really nice upgrade. As others have said. Makes the car look nearly new.

Started removing some parts:
My nav system was wired differently than the pinouts I found online. specifically the line outs to the amplifier were NOT on plug C.
Anyone want to buy a PMC/NAV/Changer?

I dont know how you can have that cupholder on that side and still comfortably reach the gas pedal. Mine is on the passenger side exactly adjacent to where you have yours, its a little bit of a reach but Ive gotten used to it.

No issues at all TypeA. Cupholders don't get in the way. Look where the foot pad is located on mats....

It happens sometimes. You didn't have HID bulbs in halogen reflectors, did you Bob?
