What do you guys think of the black trim on some cars rear lower bumper was thinking of doing that but i don't know really how to carry it through the car. Also thinkin of having the rim insets painted SOM.

Thanks for the comments guys as far as how it got clean well;
this car guy cant afford the big zanio ...yet so i have been using mothers premium car wash by hand with a wash mitt. When i wax it i use mothers premium car wax by hand no wheel. in between waxes like todays photos i wash the same and while its wet i use eagle one's wax as-u-dry with a chamios no wheel or machine ......ever.

The underside hood is treated as another panel washed /waxed/ and dried the same as the rest of the car every time. I wish the factory would have finished the engine bay paint as well as the hood was though. no golsscoat i think.

The engine bay was a new product but i was really impressed with how well it worked. keep in mind my engine has only 22k on it but there was some typical build up to be cleaned off. the product is Black Magic 2-in-1 engine shine. this stuff is awesome IMHO it says its safe on metal ,aluminum, hoses, wires, paint whatever is under your hood. best of all you spray on sit 15 min lightly brush heavy deposits and rinse off with the garden hose. no power sprayer or steam cleaner needed.

oh yeah all this stuff can be had for cheap at kragens or auto zone.

Looks good. Few things I would change if it were my car. Id loose the yellow calipers for SOM. And why did you put TT's on it? Firehawk wheels are sooo perdy.

Looks great!

The natural plastic look sans the super shine makes it look even better.
