Thanks! Haha, thats right, I'm proud of those miles - every last one! Although they won't do good things for me when it comes time to resale it!

The lip had to be repaired and repainted some time last year. I didn't put a clear bra on it in time, and it has quite a few chips. So I feel your pain!
I did try the clear bra method, it didn't work so well. The rocks were big enough that it go through the clear bra. Also after you remove the clear bra it leave an imprint. It wasn't great. Now I just use it without. Repaint in a few years.

Well I never saw the need to drive this car hard at all. That being said, I don't drive it any differently than I did, say 40k miles ago.

Did you ever get the back bumper repainted? It looks like its in a different shade to me. But other wise, the car looks great, very well taken care of.

Nope. Factory paint all around other than the ground effects.
