Confession is good for the soul... So own up to it. What have you been hiding from us?

Confession: I only got around to changing one of my puddle lamps to LED. After the first I was too fed up to do the second one.. 2 years ago.
Confession: part of my lower grill is broken from it swallow some tire tread on the highway... Two years ago lol. Cant tell though.
We're all family here, so spill.

I almost gave up when painting my calipers one by one and almost said fak it and just roll half assed job. But I pulled through and did them all. Ended up with massive back pain, muscle aches and my legs were barely usable. But the end result looks sexy as fak.

The more I work on this car the more I mess up and the more I hate it. But when I fixed it I'm happy again.

Been driving around for the better part of 8 months without a tow hook cover.

I believe some car nudged my front bumper in a parking lot, popped off the tow hook cover. I didn't notice until I got home. On the bright side I actually ordered one today from my dealership and they're painting it free of charge! =]

Someone bumped my rear bumper so now there's indents of their license plate screws on my bumper. I stare at it every time I approach my car from the rear.


Who ever did this....

I touched my paint today and it felt like sand paper. I see clay in the near future.

My car is scratched to fak from the carwash. Looks like I've been driving down rose bushes. Also there's some huge deep scratches on the top either from the sunroof being fixed or from my wife's purse. Not sure. I think that's all I have to confess.

I have the this same damage on mine as well. Guy who hit me said "you can't even see it" Dude was thinking I was just going to let it slide.

There was a period that I didn't wash my car inside or out for a good 6-8 months atleast. Just did it a week ago and washed it 3 times and did part of the inside.
