Well we have had our roadster for 4 days now and we love it. I must say I love this forum too. I have some of the "normal" quality issues that are associated with these cars. The first one I took care of was the driver's door trim piece that has the window switches, etc... in it. I had the scratches that most get but they weren't too bad. I used the Plastic dip method described on this forum and it looks great. It should also really hold up for a long time. It looks so good that I was tempted to do the passenger side one which isn't even scratched at all. I decided not to as I am going to vinyl wrap both of them in the near future.

The next fix I did was the drivers side headlight. The passenger one was replaced a couple of years ago by the original owner but the drivers side one was starting to look bad especially when compared with the other side. Well I did the headlight resto write up on this forum and it now looks better than the newer one. I love our car and love this forum!!! Next project is the vinyl wrap after I do more research.
