Just gave her a little bath and I hate doing it myself, because then I really see all the imperfections, but what can you expect after six Michigan winters.

If you think your bumper looks bad you should see mine in person. haha The body shop gave me the wrong color touch up paint, so it looks off in person, but is very hard to tell in pictures. I think the silver hides a lot though

The little scratches and chips aren't what bother me, it's the rust starting :/ and I don't have money to get it painted

As Grand Prixs get up in age I'm still amazed how many miles people are going on them. I've currently got 187,000 miles on mine and it has the original engine. Love these cars!

Woa! Mine looks terrible in comparison and I only have 63k!

Drivers side rear wheel well for some strange reason is rusting while the rest of the car including the underbody is spotless. Front bumper is losing the clear coat at an alarming rate, one of the side skirts has the same issue.
