Default Detailed the T/A today...

I figured since I see everyone else's, I'd do my own...

btw, I know I need new wheels and a new hood, they will come (eventually).




















Let me know what you think...

EDIT: Its a 1998, M6, 43000 miles, Lid, Cut-out, K&N, some free mods, sfcs Dynoed 311hp and 323ft/lbs at 6200 rpm on this setup.

All my mods will come along, but being a starving student I have other things to spend $$$ on right now...

When I have the dough, LTs, Cam, wheels, hood(I cant decide between the firehawk and the ws6), and possibly a little juice... But if more money comes my way (from my new job), I might forget everything and get an sts kit!!! Either way, nothing is set in stone...

Looks good man, almost my car's twin. Give some details like what year is it? Is it an M6 or A4?
Along with the hood and wheels, you should blackout your side markers. I just did it to mine and it looks awesome. Oh yeah, get an exhaust system!!!

How much does a new or used hatch glass usually run? Luckily its not too bad, I will probably just live with it.

yea, you can't get rid of etching...it's freakin carved into the glass. Best bet is to find someone who wants the etching and trade hatch-glass

Do you really think it looks bad enough that I should replace it, or should I just live with it. I mean, if it was like a $20 fix I wouldnt waste anytime to have it fixed, but I have a feeling that it will end up costing me over $300.

Man you have some low miles! As far as the etched Pontiac, I would probably just leave it. IMO it's not that bad. BTW, how did you get your lisence plate to stay at the top of your windshield?
