Scratched paint, front bumber looks like it was scraped, a ding on my door from some Wal Mart idiot, its dirty, scratched rims, and some other things that **** me off. But its all worth it to me!

Same here...But I must say that after a year of ownership the good definitely outweighs the bad.

anybody not having problems? i just purchased mine a month and a half ago, and i'm afraid already!

i bought it used... so.... not MUCH wrong.... a little bit of peeled clear coat on the spoiler, a few rock chips on the hood & front bumper (expected), and the front passenger side lip is hanging off because its CHEAP. oh yeah, and i need to get a wheel stud replaced... CHEAP.

mines an 03 so ive got the crappy heater adjustment knob that tends to jam up

and my driver side headlight occasionally "freaks out" & starts adjusting up & down on its own until i make an adjustment W the knob

oh, and brownbos with messed up clearcoat

Repaint those badboys like I did. Not that hard or expensive. Plus they still look new and that was done over a year age
