My New 2003 Convertible
Got my new 2003 a couple of weeks ago. I had 9300 miles and I've already run it up to 10,000. Since I got it I've clayed it and buffed/polished it with Adams and my new Porter Cable. I got Rhino ramps and a new Harbor frieght low profile jack so I changed the oil and filter. Also did the air cleaner for grins. Just finished pulling the wheels and polishing the rims and detailing the fender wells. Absolutely Love this car!
The only thing not stock are the seatcovers and the Corsa exhaust.

I spent about an hour polishing the tips today, also had to loosen some clamps and get them a little straighter. These Corsa tips do polish up well. I also got the stock pipes in storage. How ever helped me with my pictures really appreciated.

Welcome
Great Moves - buying the car and joining the forum! Great group and you'll really enjoy the information passed around. Glad to see you already know the basic cleaning process. Take care your neighbors will start to wonder if you pull the wheels to often to clean.

Nice pics & nice find! I like yellow, however so do LEOs. They will see you a mile away! 
I always joke with the guys in my club that own yellow Corvettes that they can't lead the pack on the cruise.
