Awesome, you finally got her home. It'll be worth it to fix the scratches.

After some research, I can't tell if the silver/red RCR ground effects are a dealer option or aftermarket. I've only seen Intimidators in all black from the factory.

God, why do they all have to sit so high!

They were on the 2002 Dale Earnhardt Edition Monte Carlo, probably just mimicked it

I thought the same thing. Nice touch. But just odd to see when you know it's supposed to be all black.

Like Mike just said, the 2004 Intimidator edition came all black. The silver/red ground effects were not an option. The previous owner did that himself. Either painted the g/effects silver and put the RCR decals on himself, or swapped the ground effects off of a 2002 DE edition.

Just curious what decals/stickers did you remove from the car?

The guy I bought it from had the bottom painted like that. He had a 3 on the windshield, the truck, and 3s on both B pillars. It was overdone so I took those off.

How does the 3.8 sound with magnaflow exhaust? Do you thing someday you could post a video?
Its not a cat back system. Just the OEM mufflers were replaced. It sounds good...a bit more throaty. If that helps. One of these days I'll post a vid.

Yeah his wife said she looked outside and the dog was sitting on the hood. Even with the car cover on it there's still damage.

I'm hoping it won't need to be repainted. I'll find out tomorrow.

Hopefully a good wetsand and buff will take care of the scratches.

Funny thing is, I have a boxer too, but she never tried to sit on any of my cars.
