    Saw this pic and remembered a manufacturer's defect I had noticed about a year after these Skyhawks came out. Look at the upper center area of the bumper cover, between the headlamps. When new, this area was basically flat, but after time, the urethane cover shrinks from exposure to the elements and begins to 'cup'. Pretty much all of them did this....

    GM should have put a metal reinforcement behind the upper cover to keep it in position. There's just a bunch of dead space behind it.
