Glad you got to post some pics....I already know your first 3 mods:
1) Black license plate frame from PepBoys
2) Remove that front license plate frame and get some plugs to fill in the holes -- http://www.bumperplugs.com/BPindex.html
3) Replace those silver inserts in the rear bumper with some red reflectors, which is what was supposed to go there in the first place. http://www.bekkers.com/Merchant2/merchant....;Category_Code=
All VERY easy and cheap mods. Looking good, though. I can see now why you wanted the xi...one steep driveway you got there!
Today was a beautiful day for washing our cars.

As rudy pointed out the cobbles are not in USC. I was visiting my in-laws(in Lebo) for Christmas day & that's where I took the picture. The drive way is theirs. Mine is longer(~250 feet), a similar grade and is north-facing - ie ice & snow that doesn't melt in winter.
I'll look into the mods. I was thinking of putting European or South African license plate on the front. Any thoughts on that idea.
Enjoy the rain 'burghers........
