I think the car only has to wear that at night, while it's sleeping.

Location: Branson, MO		I’d also ditch the headlight eyebrows and either paint the drip rails black or find the stainless steel moldings. I’d also replace the outside mirrors with the stock units.

Location: So. Cal		Good point about the drip rail. I might be inclined to paint the door posts & window frames black as well, as it would make it look cleaner.

This is a very attractive sedan.  Right colors, beautiful interior.  I don't think I would change a thing!  Ready to enjoy.
