Awesome looking car! Not a fan of blue cars but yours looks fantastic.

Keep an eye out for emblems on eBay auctions. Found the rear for like 30 bucks new.

Car looks fantastic. What overlays did you put on the lenses? I would like a very slight tint overlay for mine...can't stand the dark tint overlay. Do you have any pics of the front of the car in good light?

I bought them from a company called Lamin-X. They were relatively easy to put on. I messed up the passenger side, so I'm debating on ordering another set and replace it, or just live with it till I replace the lenses. The more the sun beats down on them the better they are starting to look, so I'll probably just live with it.

Don't blame the previous owner; cars are supposed to withstand being kept outside. Not everyone has the benefit of having a garage/extra garage space.

To me it's more of an indicator of poor quality on the part of GM.
