Default The Saga Continues: Tons of Pics of My Washed TA (56k, time for broadband)

If you saw my other thread you would have read how I hate dirt... so I washed my TA today and snapped a few pictures, because who doesn't love pictures?! Those white fuzzy things are just towel fibers, so ignore those. Also, I apologize for 19MB of pictures, guess I got a bit carried away. Anyways, here they are... enjoy:
Here it is just hosed down:







All clean :

My only regret is that it isn't a three car garage, so my TA is forced to stay outside. Plus it's a bit tight when there's two cars in there. On the bright side, it is a fully finished garage.

Thanks for the comment emerica4601, seems everyone loves the color.

Here in CA we basically cannot have any tint on our front windows (70%, not including factory). I do plan to get my back window re-tinted though as it is peeling.

Magnet, that is also my fav pic. I need to get a macro lens!

I've had the decals on for about 5 months now, no signs of peeling or anything. That is indeed a decal on the headlight. I got them all off of fourthcircledesigns for ~$35.

On my rear panel I just stuck them on, no sanding necessary.

My dad owns the red vette, my mom owns a white vette (not shown, C5 also), and I own a TA... one big happy LS1 family.

Is your TA the same color as mine? If so then that's pretty damn weird. Nice cars btw.

osvaldo, I applied wax about 1 month ago.

The ABS on the center cap of your passenger side rear is upside down! Better fix that!


......lol..... j/k!

Car look clean, paint looks great, and some nice detail shots. The water drop on the tire looks cool!

I'll be on the lookout.

Mssingkid - Thanks for reminding me, been thinking of picking up a ls1tech plate holder. I wish I could just put on my front license cover, but I already got a ticket for that (even had my license plate behind my windshield). Does anyone happen to know if the LS1Tech plate holders come in a pair or singles (I'm going to assume single)?

Also, this isn't related to cars at all, but I think it's pretty so I'll share it.
