Beautiful car, it looks great!

I installed a light bar in my 06 and it was more difficult for my son to get in, but he was in a child seat and I had to help him get buckled in. I always seemed to find a way to bump my head on the **** thing, but it looked great.

I'm the exact same way, and almost didn't buy the car because of the color. I haven't had a door ding on any of my cars since 2004 when a shopping cart was carried into my Civic Si by unusually strong winds.

But, you'd be surprised what a professional detailer (or an amateur who knows what they are doing and is patient) can do with black! I know I am. Sent it off last week for a buff, cleaning inside and out (dealer left dust and stuff in the interior), and multiple coat wax-o-rama. Now bugs literally turn to powder and fall off the hood and bumper. Paint actually looks better than my Vista Blue did

So I'll take care of her in the meantime, and have it professionally done quarterly. Hate to pay someone to do something I can do myself, but they know their way around a buffer and my weekend time is precious - I'd rather be driving it!!!
