I saw PW's beautiful car, then gave the dark and dirty 99 a midnight bath.
...Then realized that it's going to take a lot more than a wash to get it right. Promised to put the Gunmetal Vivo headlights in next week and finish re-painting her when the weather cools down.

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.

Got to do a shakeout drive yesterday
Drove about 3-1/2 hours 200+ miles in the 90-95 degree heat top down
I just recently changed my air filter, replaced my AOS hose to throttle body (Oil seeping out on the throttle body side), cleaned my radiators, oil change, Sump inspection
I was getting 30+ MPG on the highway, 25-27 on back roads twisties. Temp was rock steady
I'm planning 1800+ mile trip in 2 weeks and needed to make sure all was well
Heading down Skyline drive, Blue Ridge Parkway, Tail of the Dragon, Cherohala Skyway then back up Blue Ridge Parkway

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.

I just came back last Friday from there! Did the Tail of the Dragon, Cherohala Skyway, and Moonshine 28. Stayed in Robbinsville, NC. Amazing driving roads…you will like it. Watch for downed trees and debris if there is a rain storm, the roads get covered in branches, twigs and leaves. Also, bring brake fluid…I wore my brake pads down and had to add brake fluid.

Good idea. I have been watching the weather and hoping for minimal rain
How was Johnny Law on the Tail. I'm trying to hit that on a Tuesday, missing weekend crowds

Had a CEL for over a year from faulty secondary air system and had it repaired yesterday so no more irritating CEL light. My mechanic noticed the same squeaky noise I've been hearing and found the number four plug had not been torqued down so he fixed that. On the drive home from Campbell I swear the car had at least 10 more hp. :dance:

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?
