Agreed, it works great, nicely designed.
Thanks all. It was $199 + tax but my dealer gave me a $100 gift card so it came out to be $117. I'm happy with it. Nice fit, no rattles.
Only concern is where the retractable cover hooks on to these very thin plastic hooks on the lift gate.
Over a period of time those clips will probably snap. Mine will most likely break the day after my warranty expires.

Yea, from now on I'm using the moly type oil in my car. I am getting better mpgs than I was getting from the castrol used in my previous 4 oil changes.

Wait a minute; didn't you just change the oil in your car (and put in the Fumoto valve) yesterday?!

already gone thru over half a tank and even my realtime readings are higher.
Sill protectors
This past week I finally got a chance to install the door sill protectors I ordered from eBay a couple of months ago. Unfortunately, my wife had already scratched the door sill (heels I assume), so this was installed after the damage was done.
However, for $25, I don't think they're bad. The only negative thing is that I had to add on some more 3M double sided tape to make them hold on as the tape that was delivered did not quite do the job.

I'm thinking of ordering one! Just scared it may leave scratches on hood....
I agree, You and I are the few here with the Hood Protector.
Congrats on the window deflectors and plate covers. Post pics of the installed deflectors. I plan to get a set once I get the window rattle issue taken care of.

Got curb rash on my wheel from going in the median. Had to dodge an idiot who tried to do an unnecessary and slow lane change in front of me, only to try to block the lane he came from after I moved into it by driving the center of the two lane road as cars came up behind us almost causing an accident. It will probably cost me $150 for a repaint. Hopefully cheaper because it's just a small quarter circle on the edge of the wheel.

Looking into getting front windows tinted.
So many choices...I'm sooo confused!!! Crystalline, Black Chrome, Ceramic, Color Stable, FX-HP, FX Premium...whatt???
I liked the Black Chrome but the description said since it's metalized, it could interfere with wireless signals. Emailed the business to get suggestions.

I've always used metal films and never had any wireless issues. Although, now that I'm shopping for the new car I have been looking into ceramics too.
