When I brought my wagon home it had quite a few "issues" some known many not. The main one that bugged me was the wavy bumper cover. You can see it very well in this pic.....

Turns out the car was in a front end collision in the past (CARFAX was right for once) and had a new clip installed. They used the cheapest most generic repos they could find though. The bumper is hard yellow plastic and buckled in three seperate places. I lucked out on a trip to the local pull a part on a white OEM cover. Just have to replace the ill fitting radiator support and straighten the headlights.

I wans't a fan of the hubcaps from day one either. Yesterday at the large KYANA Swap Meet I scored a brand new set of Stainless Trim Rings. Painted the rims Semi Flat Black and put them on today. I also got a pair of chrome centers but have to come up with a way to attach them to the smaller lug nuts as I don't care for the metal bolt on caps.

So this is how she looks now....

Still have to paint the bumper trim to match and fix the plate mount holes. Also gonna de-wood and tint it soon Smile

Thanks for the replies so far.

It was a love/hate thing at first when I kept finding new things to replace Sad

Am thankful to be at the "mod/upgrade" stage, for know Smile

The car I am parting is donating all of its non rusty brackets and such as well.
