From 2002 to 2015 ... still daily driving (my calculations are 38k miles cruising in this time frame). Treated her to a outside respray 5 years ago and she had a short break from daily driving as I briefly convinced myself to try a new car and save some of the wear and tear. Have now resigned myself to just replacing OG stuff as needed and to just enjoy the drive Smile

Where can I get that spoiler / air dam? How flexible is the material? Is that attached to the bumper?
