    nahh dont stress it, it would have been much worse if you had posted about lifts and spacers and blocks and keeping it ride original but not really...
    simply put, a lot of the 3rd gen questions can be answered reading the 2nd gen forum. but for anyone new to the online car forum world obviously thinking outside the 3rd gen forum box might not me instinctual.

    I bitch all the time about the glare as of recent, the hood has some spots no doubt, but age might also play a differance, and all these LEDs our eyes are now exposed to is not helping in the long run as far as our eyes, those things be too bright for our retinas

    I've noticed as well.
    Even the chrome ring around the shifter reflects sometimes.

    You might wrap your hood skewpt but what are you gonna do about every 3rd car on the road that has just the right angle on the rear window to glare you into driving blind?

    I notice it on my truck also, my truck is magnetic grey metallic. I don't know if the color makes it worse, but the glare off of it is pretty bad especially in the midday sun.
