New Paint + Fresh Wax + Sun = Sunglasses!!! FINALLY!!! Had some time to snap some pics with the car after all the work has been done on it, freshly waxed, and with my new camera. Only other things I think I will do to the exterior are truckbed liner the inside of the wheel wells, change the reflective black "PONTIAC" to plain black, and NEW WHEELS (a must). Let me know what you think and if nething else should be done (minus lowering the car because I live in NYC and the roads SUCK).
Found someones vette in the parking lot
Overall, I love the quality of the Canon Powershot and there are a ton of manual settings that can be tweaked for better performance

awesome car bro, but i think the wheels should be chrome, maybe the firehawk ones cuz of the hood, or maybe even vette y2k's would look killer. i really do like the car though, its looks like a sleeper, but at the same time it looks like it wants to kick ur ***

Looks badass! i love it. Gotta kill the wheels though
How long has the car been painted? I dont think you are supposed to wax unless the paint has set for 30 days...I could be wrong, but thats what I hear from a lot of painters

Gases in the paint take a while to escape/cure out. Waxing a car too soon will cause the paint to haze, or turn white in places. Your safe if you use a silicone free product on your car such as meguires #7 glaze.

I agree with this guy on the waxing. I've always heard 60 days though. You didn't wax it as soon as you got it out of the paint shop did you? Gases in the paint take a while to escape/cure out. Waxing a car too soon will cause the paint to haze, or turn white in places. Your safe if you use a silicone free product on your car such as meguires #7 glaze.

I was also told the longer you wait the better it is anyway.
