Thanks!

I think after going a little upside down on my trade-in, and then getting discounts, she was about $29K... Thanks for the compliments!
Yesterday, I went up to the body shop I painted for for 2.5 years, and got my tails, third brake light, and corner markers painted black. The only picture I have is from my iPhone, so obviously the quality isn't that great, and the car is dirty right now, but here's a simple shot of the rear.
Also... the other week at work, while my car was parked in the lot, the steel mill across the street let out a bunch of sulfur from their smoke stacks which got all over everyone's vehicles, including mine. As of right now, I have a $6500+ estimate that was written up at the body shop for a full repaint (the sulfur has already etched into the rear window, as well as the clear coat). Rather than dealing with a steel mill that's going to be going out of business soon, I'll probably just be claiming it on my own insurance as a comp claim ($250 deductible). If that goes through, I should be able to get a LOT closer to finishing my vehicle, a lot faster than I thought it would take. I'll keep this thread updated, as I will be meeting with the adjuster next Tuesday at the shop.
