I'm actually just intrigued about Easter Island I'm not actually from there.

Poop, I've had a special place in my heart and mind for the place since reading the stories of Thor Heyerdahl's expedition to the island as a child.

Just ordered this myself. I want to do that gray piece going across the passenger dash and around the head unit. Maybe the gray part around shifter too.

I would take that up with your local DPW, if they cant do their job right you should be compensated.

If running stock there are a lot of people selling their stock rims. If you were running nice stuff...I am sorry for your loss.

I was following my gf through the back roads of mass, she was swerving to show me where the rough spots were in the road, she gets pulled over by a cop for drunk driving. He didnt believe she was swerving for my benefit.

Swerve to win!

Yeah, he was running nice wheels and tires.

On MPSS, I believe.

Winter tires, studded Hankook 215/50/17. Looks OK with stock suspension..

About a month ago while parked in an underground, staff only parking lot, someone left a big spit running down my driver side window.
This morning I found this nice long scratch on my front fender. Definitly done at work. Its much longer than you can see in the picture as it kinnda fades into the deep scratch, them fades out at the end. Total length is about 12 inches

Today I received a paint chip right above the door handle that wasn't there this morning in the staff only parking as well. I feel your pain.

Report it to your security group or facilities manager. Maybe they'll install cameras

Gah! My biggest fear for this car is being keyed! I'd rather hit something. And I'd rather hit something while doing something epic. And I'd rather be forced at gunpoint to key my own car, so then I'd at least have some semblance of what it was like to key a car. DAMN IT ALL!

I'm not even sure how you can positively deal with deep cuts like that. Basically a new paint job for that area? Then you have to make sure to request orange peel in the paint to keep it consistent. Bleh.

You gotta park far away everywhere you go. This country (U.S.) is mostly lazy so if you park at a distance where there are more preferable\closer parking, it should help. At work I park at the furthest spot from my building. Yea the 1/4 mile walk sucks when it's cold but I don't have to worry about my car getting F'd up all day.

@kberkel: That looks awesome, good job. I ordered my vinyl last night, do you have any pointers on doing this? Did you use hair drier or heat gun? I plan to do what you did, as well as that panel going across passenger dash and around the radio, and the piece around the shifter. Might have to do the piece on the steering wheel too, if I can get it off.
