Last month I was ranked #2 in 2001 Saturn SC's. Thanks! Car has been parted out and returned to 90% stock. Once its finished up the car will most likely be sold. Thanks for all the possitive comments over the years.
Here is what she looked like before the part out:

The Rear Reflector
The rear reflector was one custom project I had wanted to do since the Ion came out. First I bought a spare reflector off eBay in case I ruined mine:
Heres the reflector hanging on a custom rack I built in my garage after getting rid of the keyhole and doing some priming/sanding:
And here it is after the final coat and wet sanding:
Finally got it back after a month at the body shop.....long story but I wasn't very pleased. It looks damn good though. Here it is mounted on the car:
And heres a close up of where the key hole used to be:
The Motegi Center Caps
It seems after a year or two the Motegi center caps start having there clear coat chip off, which makes them look like crap. So I wanted something a little more customized. I decided I wanted to paint the rim part to match the car, along with the calipers/drums, lugs, and valve stem cap. And I wanted a Saturn logo in the centers. And so a project began. Removed the Motegi stickers, sanded down the center caps, painted them to match the car, printed out Saturn logos, clear coated the logos with 10 - 14 coats of paint, cut them out as perfect circles, mounted them with double sided tape, then clear coated the entire assembles. I took pictures of the entire process but for simplicity sake heres the befor and after:
And here they are all together:
And on the car:
