    Anyone notice this?

    Yes, the cheap plastic on the sides of the center storage bin gets 'muffed' up for lack of a better word by the back of the front seat belt buckles. In my GS, the center plastic is black and 'muffed' white. I rubbed as much as I could off using like interior cleaners, but there is forever...

    License Plate Light Bulb Cover

    Hi, Has anybody been able to remove the license plate light bulb cover on a 2017/18? I've tried prying it off with a flat head screw driver (placing it between the plastic housing and the black rubber), but have not had any luck. Is there a trick to it? Thanks in advance for any advice
