Did the alignment today. Got her all squared away. After that I took her for about a 10 mile test drive then pulled her back into the shop to inspect for leaks. It was great to finally get her out after I had done so much work on her. Now everything is dry with no sign of any leaks. ☺️ I put some little bits and covers on that I hadn't gotten around to yet and went to the detail shop and pressure washed the engine from top to bottom. I still had some time so I decided to do a headlight restore. We have a BG kit that we use at work so I used that. It turned out great. Here are some pics of before and after the headlight restore.
How the headlights looked before I started.
After finishing the headlight restore.
Now I've got to condition the leather and get her detailed. More updates to come.

After driving her to lunch for a couple of days it was apparent there was some vibration. Most of it was brake rotor vibration but there was some tire vibration too. So I ordered front and rear pads from work and an engine air filter. I cut all 4 rotors today and installed the new pads. I found a torn caliper slide pin boot on the front which caused the caliper to not slide. I was able to get it out and clean it up. I lubed it and put it back in. It was now moving freely. I ordered a new slide pin and dust boot and I'll put it in tomorrow. I also balanced the tires so it would ride better. She was riding good so I decided to drive her home for the first time tonight. She rode really good and the brakes feel a lot better now with no vibration. I'm pretty excited about it so I took some more pics.

I forgot to post a pic when I got the windows tinted so here it is:
We've put just over 2k miles on it so far and it's been great. I took it to North Carolina a while ago and got 22 mpg including going through the mountains. I thought that was pretty good. Next I'll probably put the 19" GS F-Sport wheels that came off of our 2015 on it. I'll see how that looks.
