Default New WS6, freshly detailed

I finally got my 2001 WS6 last week from forum member tunit. This was my first attempt with the Porter Cable so it's not as good as it could be. I'll do better next time though. I think it turned out pretty good, it had a lot of swirl marks and surface scratches. It also had a big dent on the passenger side quarter panel that I pushed out from behind the sail panel speaker. I also just sanded and smoothed the rear filler panel and will be doing !side molding, !wire, !AIR, and getting new tint soon.













This was a pretty big dent before I pushed it out. It looks so much better now.

I was looking at the ram air piece to do that mod and I was also looking at the hood too. Is that what you mean, cut that flap off that is on the hood at the ram air intake?

Very odd, I have that same kind of crease dent also. I'm pretty sure I've heard others talk about it too.

Filler panel smoothed and !side molding done. Filler panel needs to be polished some more though.
