Nice Car! But I just got my windows tinted 5% all the way around and my remote doesn't work either! Maybe it is the tint...I have to walk up to infrared on the drivers side...

It's the RF antenna. Are you under warranty? I got it fixed as a "good will" gesture, but it's a 1K fix.

Just picked the car up from the shop. Had the front bumper re-sprayed. Freakin rained on my way home and I can't wash the car for a couple weeks, so I guess I'll be washing it right before the meet.

Took some pics from my new phone.

I know, for real. Grille already is getting some rock chipping, but that's expected. Might get some extra flat black paint just to always touch up the grille.

Yup. Autocraft. Took it the day before my b'day, since I had access to an extra car for a week. Dropped it off, but as you guys know, got sick right afterwards. Not the greatest of luck the past couple weeks. I just hope that this bug goes away soon...still lingering around.

Well, I don't know if that's "all" lighting. One is midnight blue and the other is black opal (which is a black w/ green/blue tint).
