I wipe it weekly with leather conditioner and have it washed and spray waxed weekly except in winter. I have it detailed once a year including shampoos of the rug and mats. I don't have many pictures of the exterior. One is below.. the exterior is in fair condition. I have had some punk kids key her a few times which pissed me off. Only exterior issue is the owner before me was a lady who took super care of it. She did however have a rear bike rack and a roof rack which left little marks on the body. I' am sure you've seen the marks thules and stuff leave after a couple of years of attachment.

The Head Unit is a Pioneer AVH-X5500BHS. The installation required some minor trimming of the dash supports for depth and notching of the bezel to accommodate the 7" motorized face. I' am very happy with it. One of the other members suggested it would fit as he has the same so I picked it up for $330 at Crutchfield open box


No problem man and nice lol. It's always good to know that there are people out there who still clean and take care of their cars. I too detail mine inside and out at least once a year, wash and vacuum it once a week, and use a sunshade in the windshield. Sorry to hear about those kids keying it though. I don't blame you for getting pissed off about it because I know I would. Especially when you work so hard to keep something like that nice and some random person has the audacity to be so disrespectful to someone else's belongings. It makes you sick especially knowing that you wouldn't do that to someone else's car so why would they do it to yours. Unfortunately though there are people like that in this world and no matter what you do there is always going to be that one person who just doesn't give a crap.
