Something small that I just haven't had the time to get done. Here is a quick picture, lets see if anyone notices it. It is minor but something that really bothered me.

That's what I thought, but it's been there for a while.

Nope, put that emblem on when I got the car last year. And it is a 2003 SI grille emblem, not the one from the back.

Anyways, here is the other pic. This should give it away.

Good guesses. Did the headlights DIY style on Super Bowl Sunday, Fogs went on last November, seats are stock, and did 3 hours of mechanical polishing 2 months ago. Polished with Meguiars Swirl Free Polish #82 with yellow pad, Clearkote's Vanilla moose hand glaze with white pad, Meguiars NXT wax by hand, and then S100 Carnuba by hand.

You took of the antenna, correct. Nice car, BTW. I'm not sure if they called it the same thing on the SI, but it's Electron Blue, right?

EDIT: Bah, someone got it while I was typing my post.
EDIT #2: NM, I was wrong.

Yup guys, tinted the moonroof. Should have it done with my windows when I did them a year ago but didn't. Been wanting to do it ever since but just never went to have it done. For those of you with untinted moonroofs you know what I'm talking about. Seems that the sun always shines in that thing into your eyes.

Antenna? It is present in both pics....

Anyways, thanks for the compliment. And with the SI it is called Electron Blue Pearl or EBP for short.

Edit: Bah, you got in and edited before I posted the reply.

Are you talking about the black trim? Cause I didn't paint it, just one of the wonders of Clearkote's Vanilla Moose hand glaze. I polish it on with the orbital right over the plastic and glass. Just go over everything and it makes everything look amazingly clean and new. Adds a new level of clarity to glass too, makes it almost clearer.

It is about a 30% film which gives it a total of around 23%. Top quality metalic based tint. Had it done over a year ago.
