Pleasant surprises...

So I have had the car for about a month now and I ran out to grab my iPod charging cable (yeah, TMI) and I open the door to lean in and notice...

The previous owner,the dealer who sold them the car and the dealer who sold me the car had never removed the protective plastic overlays on the aluminum door sills where it says INFINITI. For 33,500 miles!

So I peel them off and they're brand spanking new looking.

Just a pleasant surprise

Figured I'd share in a gorgeous Friday here in Atlanta.

....^....he's right, with the plastic on they'll always look nice now it's only time before they start to show wear. You shouldn't be that elated!

Lol, the plastic looked much worse.

You'd rather look at plastic daily vs shiny aluminum?

Calling bullsh1t on the lot of ya!!!
