Like I said, I wasn't annoyed at him. I was thinking about it the night before... they sell tire patching kits at Walmart and stuff, so I thought maybe it should be one of those things I did myself (like changing oil, rotating tires, etc).

As for the full moon... full moons have a special meaning to me... though, now it's not so pleasant.

Had done the same immediately after driving through the mountains. Those little buggers were a mess all over the front bumper and side mirrors. I couldnt stand the sight of the bug guts against my white paint.

Bugs and little scratches----I'm trying to decide whether to get some 3m film, a hood deflector, or nothing.

I invested in the OEM font end bra, only use the hood protector part. Others use the deflector and like them. I'm not sold on the 3m film stuff... a good wax job helps cleaning the splatter off the bumper if gotten to promptly.

Got this (_____) close to ordering new wheels, but they were out and so was the manufacturer. Epi-fail.

You may be able to order some cast vinyl, the kind they use to make decals and trim to fit, if you're good with artsy stuff. If you have a weird paint job though, it'll stand out more.

@MikeNSX I think I remember that's what put me off when looking into it - the price.

It was on the car when I bought it. My manager (who owned the car before me) told me it cost him $600. The whole front end and the mirrors are covered.

Does a great job, but not something I would personally pay that much $$$ for.
