Default Detailed the TA. Small photoshoot
Did a long overdue cleaning on my car today. I wash it often but i cant remember the last time I really put a good coat of wax on it. But today it got washed, clay barred and waxed. Also took the powerball and some chrome polish to the wheels. What do ya think?




My favorite:

The front calipers actually are painted black. The brackets are not though. I wasnt sure if i would like it or not, got lazy and never finished really. Thanks for the compliments. Springs are pro-kit fronts and Strano rears.

you know ive considered some vinyl inlays for the PONTIAC on the rear bumper. but i lost interest in it. wasnt sure if id like it. other than that i wouldnt put any other kind of overlays or any more chrome anywhere. i like the super clean look. my initial choice for wheel color was painted silver but one of my friends convinced me otherwise.
thanks for the compliment

Good choice on sticking with the chrome a clean simple wheel like the C6 needs to be chrome or it looks too plain. Are you on NJFBOA?

Wrong. I like how clean the car looks but I'm not a fan of the c6 wheels. Very clean ride tho!

I wish. Just Bilstein HDs. I didnt really understand till AFTER i bought and installed them that they really arent meant for lowering springs.. Thought about going to KYB adjustables since the KONIs have gone way up in price.
