Thanks to all for reminding me about the joy of keeping black clean. I did wash it twice in one day after getting rained on.
And I'm sure the front plate will go on eventually....

Nice car! Looks great! Enjoy it!
For the front plate - check out skene. I think most here like that one. The other option is US Millworks that goes into the tow hitch.

Are the windows tinted?

Not yet on the windows. I was going to take it last week but I don't want to sacrifice having the windows up for a few days. I'm going to wait until we have a few crappy days in the forecast. The top has only been up once when I got rained on and to wash it.

Welcome to the black club.
I use a DI vessel with 0 ppm particles in the water to do the final rinse, makes the (frequent) washing so much easier as you can just rinse and not touch the paint work at the end - saving it from swirls at that stage.
