New guy with some pics Been lurking on this site for about a year now, finally decided to register. I have an 04 V (actually just got it back from the shop about a week ago). Ice, ditch + 3 trees = $11,000 bill to Geico.
Anyway, here is my car. Before during and after wreck.
After a good detail yesterday.

I was fine, only going 30 when it happened. Thankfully it was all cosmetic damage, no frame or mechanical damage!!!
Next on the todo list

Looks Great!!
A black V with the black grills, and the Caddy emblem jumping out at you... is such a sharp look!!!
Personally, I wouldn't do the rims... they stand off the car nicely in silver. (Not sure why that is all the craze these days??) Doing them in black would be just to much black for me... look like a cop car caddy. LOL
Like the tinted tails and turns!! What did you use on the turns?

We have passed each other a few times, yea, mine is black with black tails (done about a month ago) and chrome stock rims. I work over at ARMC. The others is a buddy of mine, his is silver and lowered (with no spacers) so it looks like a bit of a drag car. Did you work for UPS in the past? If not then there are 4 in town.

Nope, 3 coats VHT, 4 coats clear over factory lenses. Factory bulbs, if the sun hits them just right very hard to see. Had them this way for about 9 months now and noone has come flying up from behind and slammed their brakes (i keep an eye on my rearview when stopped, just in case). Realistically, 2 coats VHT would be best, 3 is almost too dark.

Have a redline, and am going to leave the rears alone, they blend in nice as they are, but I am thinking I want to smoke my turns and side markers. That should look pretty cool against the red.

Yeah, clear as a bell. The front DRL's are so bright they shine through fine.
