Not too bad but I have yet to wipe off the excess Mequiars grape juice on the rubber. as for the last picture this is what happens when you reach 25 kilometer left to go on the fuel , the fuel area will periodically go to RED to remind you if the car binging does not work !

Oh cool, I didn't know that. I have reached 19 miles left but it didn't change colors.

Don't make that mistake - you'll rub that clear coat right off and then have a lot of work keeping up with the untreated polished surface....I know from personal experience

AL - it will only turn red if the lights are on....otherwise it stays the daytime color....perhaps it was during the day when you were low on fuel?

Your car looks very sharp. I LOVE the look of the polished aluminum wheels.

(I'll bet that black leather gets a bit toasty out there in the Arizona sun! I can't tell from the photo...do you have dove inserts?)

Where did you get the yellow fog lights. Are they just lens replacements?

Thanks for the compliments Paul. Yes it's 90 today but, much hotter if the upholstery is in the direct sun. You gotta be careful sitting down! I have the Parch inserts on mine.

I got my lenses (covers really) here http://www.showlenses.com/.

They are flexible thin plastic like a contact lens and slip inside the trim ring. The good news is, you can pull them out quickly to get the bugs off! I also have amber ones that match the turn signals.

Thanks. I hate having people flash their lights at me when they think I've got my high beams on. I'll be this would solve that problem.
