I know man! I don't know if you can tell by the pics, but there are small chips all in the hood and front bumper. The previous(and only other) owner used it for highway use, so lots of paint chips. Other than that, it's in immaculate condition.

Yours looks like it's dropped nicely. I'll probably go with that setup. Are you still on stock struts? I ditched the sunroof deflector today. I wanna get rid of the side moldings, is the adhesion hard to get off? I also want to get rid of the mud flaps, but I'm gonna wait till I drop it.

ya i def suggest the H&R's its a nice drop and still maintains a pretty nice ride. ya im still on stock struts. when you take the side moldings of use a heat gun to heat up the glue then put some goo gone on it and rub it off or if you can get ahold of a plastic razor and be more careful that should work too.

Well, I'm scared to take the moldings off now because I'm afraid there will be paint fading there.

:werd: it should not be bad at all. i saw you said the same on ephatch. i dunno if you read that comment over there yet but i have to agree with what the guy said. if you keep it on it will just get worse. it shouldnt take more than maybe a half hour to do anyway. plus it will look so much better without them. we have a vbp si at my work with them on and after seeing that i said to one of the guys "why would you even consider that it looks terrible". hehe

Well, I'll probably get out Friday and take them off. It will make waxing 10x easier, lol.

That's not from highway driving, that's from tailgating. Sometimes it makes little cracks in the paint too.

Modern paints really don't fade much at all btw. If your paint appears faded, bring it to get professionally buffed (professionally... otherwise you might end up with big swirly tracks in your clearcoat). The "fading" is just oxidation though. Your clearcoat probably has a UV protectant in it even.

Well....tailgating on the highway...anyways, I've been looking at carbon fiber hoods. What do you guys think?

Not a fan of carbon fiber hoods. Especially with needing hoodpins and such (well, it's certainly a good idea and you'd hate to one day need them and not have them).
