    Lookin' good!

    After one of my headlamp washer covers fell off, I decided to go whole hog and fix all the annoying cosmetic dings and scratches, replace the loose door trim, and replace the clear bra (which was cloudy after 11-12 years on the car). Seriously, the car looks brand new. My bad cell phone pics don't really do it justice, but here they are for the good of the order.

    Some of the scratches were through the paint and the new trim pieces and washer cover needed to be painted, so I took the car to a body shop for all of the work.

    Yes, that's next on the list after my bank account recovers a bit. And thanks for pointing that out, Dougie Downer.

    On a 11yo car, it is bound to happen no matter how careful.
    Not sure I would fork over big bucks for rims that WADOT does zip to maintain the roads, except on Mercer Island and Clyde Hill...

    Like Ben said, the roads around here are very poorly maintained, especially in the city, so if the car was lowered I'd just be bottoming out every time I hit a dip, bump, or pothole, but I appreciate your point. Maybe when I switch from DRC to coilovers...

    I need to take out a new crease in my quarter panel after I parked it on the street overnight a couple weeks ago. Damn careless assholes! Might get my rear bumper resprayed to take out the minor scuffs while I'm at it.

    That's my husband's truck, so I'm not too worried. He knows what the consequences would be if he backed into the beast.
