Make it faster maybe?

Nice car man, but it would look nice w/ some Corsa and maybe an emblem on the grille. Or maybe get the grille powdercoated or painted black.......that would look sweet!

Very, very nice and clean looking. You've been posting for a while right? Just new pictures? Kind of got confused whether this was a new car or just new pics. Either way, great job!!! What are you using to treat your paint? It's making me want to cry it's so beautiful...heheh.

Where in Austin is that? Some of those shots look like 360, near Mesa/Cat Mountain.

Man, I miss that drive.

ya man, that's out 360 somewhere. not too sure where. i just follow roads until i find good backdrops for pics, hehe. i like black grills, but i really think the polished would look better on my car. i dunno, i guess since it matches the rims, lights, rear inserts, and clear corners, it probably looks best the color it is. i'm not a big fan of having an emblem on the grill either.

thanks a whole hell of a lot on the detailing compliments. when i bought my car, the paint was in some seriously shitty condition - swirls (machine swirls and common spider-web swirls), and scratches mostly. other than that, the paint looked decent. the previous owner just owned the car for about 3 years, probably waxed it once, and didn't do it right when he did do it.

so i got on autopia.org and found out how to detail my car - the way a daily driven car should be treated and in a very cost-effective manner. i first used meguiar's #83, followed by #9 to remove a good majority of the swirls...i did this all by hand. then i used nxt tech wax, and topped it with meguiar's #16. if you visit autopia.org, you will find a world far more advanced than just zaino, which tends to be what most use and talk about here at ls1tech

thanks again.

No prob. Just have to give cred where cred is due!! You can definitely tell you did your homework...so well in fact, that it makes me realize I need to do mine.

I think the grill looks hideous. Leave the billet grills for trucks.

Other then that I think it looks pretty clean.
