Car looks good man! I really like the black emblems, and after I tint mine, I think I'll be ordering or making a set for myself.
I'm with ya, the weather in MI is awful right now, but I still try to get the road salt off at least once a week. The key is come spring when you can get out and do it yourself, clay/polish/wax the car really good right away, and do it again in the fall. You'll be amazed at the difference. The other night I pulled mine in our garage, turned the heaters on, and hand washed the wheels to get the excess brake dust off, and I'm glad I did.
