Once you get the panels off, all it takes is cutting the materal to fit the bigger pieces of the metal. Peel the backing off, heat up the sticking stuff with a heat gun and place it on. thats it. You can probably get about 6-7 good size pieces on...

The horn is annoying for me as well. A month ago, I was behind a cop who was stopped at a stop sign. Before he had the chance to go, I accidentally hit the horn. He was probably wondering who would have the balls to honk at a cop.

Bad design for rain rail. Even with window cracked a bit, when raining, water will come in like a faucet. Need a better design for this. Weak rotors also. Will be taking mine in this week for check.

The Rattles in the doors.
My driver seat (when it's not fully pushed all the way towards the back seat) shifts forward and backwards upon stopping and starting again.
Aforementioned Driver Seat shifts left to Right sometimes on sharp cornering.
The tires are not of great quality.
Door locks not flush with the door.
Door lock mechanism on driver side is not next to the handle like it is on the passenger side.
Not able to show time left or played on a CD on the changer.
Quite a bit more road noise now than when I test drove the car. (might be fixed with better tires though)
Other than that, I love the car!

keep forgetting which tab to press to open the two different center console compartments
keep forgetting which end of the door lock button locks and unlocks the doors
horn is waaay too sensitive and sounds at the slightest brush or touch
after all this time can't find that "it" position for the drivers seat, keep making adjustments

I must be kinda wierd since I sort of like the combination of plood and plaluminum. Of course I tend to like darker ploods like plalnut.
To the fellow who doesn't like the light colored roof and pillars (sorry, I forgot your name): I believe they do that so that the interior feels brighter and less claustrophobic. But then what do I know?

Funny, I Didn't Notice The All Caps At First.
But back on topic... Ditto on horn - lots of mean looks from people near my lane. And I STILL can't find that comfortable position after 3 months of ownership and when it seems I'm close I bang my knees on the steering wheel pillar while getting out of the car. I've started habitually moving the seat back before getting out and then (of course) having to move it forward again when I get back in. I think this is partially due to the steering wheel being too far away (I telescoped it all the way out when I first bought it and haven't moved it back since). I think this must be for the airbag, because I noticed this on just about every new car that I test drove, and I'm a very average sized guy.
