Did the swap this morning. I wouldn't exactly call it a fair trade.
HAHA j/k the dealer gave me a damn Sonata rental car since they didn't have any loaners available.
She's in the shop to fix:
1. Leather coming up on hip support on comfort seats.
2. Aux Input install.
3. Door seal creaks.
4. Specks on headlights.
5. Computer upgrade (the service advisor didn't know didly squat about CIP updates or versions and wouldn't let me talk to the technician. So I hope he's got 17.0)
6. Trunk seal came off.
7. I forgot to look, but I'm going to request replacing the Headlight brackets too.
Hope I get her back this afternoon. But somehow I doubt it.

I'm extremely embarrased to be seen in the Sonata. LOLz.. People are already looking at me like -
<- wasn't that the guy we saw in a bimmer?
LoLz, the difference is night and day. Although I am having a bit more "fun" with the Sonata.

Tomwid,
Let me know how they do on getting the specks out of the headlights. You are referring to the plactic cover, right? Mine were sandblasted when I was stuck behind a salt truck in Kansas. I could not change lanes so the sand and salt tore my hood and lights up! Buffed the hood, but was scared to handle the headlights. Thanks.
