I never did like the rolling stones.

Here is a link to the Perfectfit car bras which by the way are made in Canada:

Take your car to a paintless dent/ding removal place or to a reputable body shop.
Hopefully they won't have to repaint your whole hood.
Let us know.
I do have both a bra and the lexan hood guard for my baby (which I think both look great!). I switch between them depending upon weather conditions and where I'm driving. For the winter I've left the guard on since I know there will be lots of grit and stuff on the roads and I don't want that being ground into the paint under the bra.
Problem is, the rock hit about 6" above the guard. It must have taken a good bounce up before coming down on the hood. Oh well, I'm sure it will be repairable.
And before someone points it out to me - yes, I know it's just a car 8^)

Lets hope it goes smoothly.
Oh by the way the car goes to the dealer tomorrow about the interior lights that randomly work. As my wife was putting our child in the child seat this morning, the interior lights decided to come on after she completed strapping him in. Has any one dealt with this?
Thanks for letting me vent, I feel better now.

Boy sounds like a lemonnnn!!! ;-)
Are you sure you have a LS with the alloy wheels??
Could it be the wrong chemicals applied to these covers when the car is washed?
Just curious.
When the car has 100,000 miles on it, the caps will look terrible in my estimation. We'll see.

I have 10K on my Imp, and the brakes are wearing incredibly well. No vibrations, no pulls, no noises. The car stops straight and true from any speed.
Above I said hub cap when I should have said center caps and yes it has numerous spots like there is something under the clear coat bubbling it up. The dealer said it looked like rocks may have broke the clear coat surface and now this is happening. The only problem with his theory is nowhere else on the rim, or the center bow tie emblem, or even the raised portion that looks like a big bolt head has a nick on them. The rocks seem to be only hitting the flat surface of the center cap, which I pointed out him. Will find out tonight if they are willing to do any thing for me about it. Will get back with results tomorrow.

Have they checked your body control module and alternator?
They will not look for any thing till I show it happening to them.
Electrical problems are often hard to troubleshoot but your dealer's attitude of not wanting to investigate the problem further doesn't help things either. Perhaps time for you to try a different dealership.
If so, has anyone had this problem? With the DRL on, when you turn on the headlights manually, the the "Service Vehicle Soon" light comes on and stays on until you stop and restart the car?
This has happened to me three times and is very intermittent.

I am thinking of registering a name with internic. Impala.com and .net are taken. That would be too simple. I wanted to stay away from a date based name, like 2000Impala or 00Impala. Impala-How-To or NathansImpala came to mind but I was looking for something that people would recognize/remember easily. Something that you would intuitively type in if you were looking for an Impala project and information site. Any suggestions?
My center caps (LS Wheel) are doing the same thing. The chromed center "nut" is pristine. The flat outer part, plastic made to look like brushed aluminum with clear coat...that's where the problem is. I'm interested to see if the dealers will fix these. It's obvious there's no nicks in them, just bubbles. I'll look into it next time I have the car in (for the front end stuff AGAIN), but it may be a while as I've garaged my pride and joy in favor of the beat-up truck for the salty winter.
I don't see anything on the front page about changes to the forums. What are we talking about here?

You may have been there, not realizing that it was night owl who created it.
He wants to register his own domain, so it would have a much more appropriate address, like www.newimpala.com, for instance.
First thing to check if you ever get a "Check Engine" Light. If the gas cap is not tightly closed after vehicle re-fuel this creates a vacuum in the fuel system and triggers the engine light sensor.
Make sure the gas cap "Clicks" at least 2 times to ensure proper seal.
If this does not remedy the problem, then take it to your dealer as soon as possible as per owner's manual recommendations.
"thechevyimpla.(com, net...)" OR
"thechevroletimpala.(com, net...)"
didn't check if they were registered yet, but a DNS lookup doesn't come up with anything.
