Purchase a Novistretch for the front end and never worry about the lovebugs or any bug for that matter ever again! Im in Pensacola and the lovebugs are just as bad. Here is a pic of mine with the Novistretch installed. Clean ups are a breeze! Good Luck!

But yes, it is like a new car with so few miles on it. Just got done with the whole wax on/wax off deal.... lol

How long have you had yours?

Now I've just got to spend some time with the manual to figure out everything....

Congrats glad it worked out for you after all that anticipation. Assuming they got that 1-4 eliminator in?
That color makes me miss my '98 Nassau Blue C5.......

Thanks man. It's been a journey finding it. Then suddenly - wham. And yes, they tuned the CAGS crap out.

Cool! It surprised me when I was researching the '14. First year models typically are prone to problems. Doesn't seem like the '14 was.

Thanks Jack. I'm sure I will if I can ever drive it. It's lovebug season here.... probably a few more weeks of the little SOBs and they can DESTROY the front of a car in a heartbeat.
