Default New pics! Black ws6.

Washed it and waxed it today. It's been awhile since I've actually put some effort into it. I put some 285/40/17s nittos on the back. They are a bit wider than my old 275 falkens. I hear a lot about nittos running small but I don't see it here....anyways.. Enjoy.








Interior.. headrests, hurts shifter, TCS cover. Everything else STOCK. Just how I like it. Simple. Nothing better looking than black leather, IMO.

Nice WS6. I love the flat black stripes. Is the bird on the license plate cover also flat black? Looks good.

What I did...
Remove filler panel
Sand with 800 grit to remove most of what is left of the decal
Sand with 1000 grit to get the rest
Sand with 2000 grit to even out texture
Polish with PlastX
Then put it back together
I think some other people on here may have used mineral spirits to remove the decal, but I might be wrong.

You get some 1500 grit sand paper and wet sand it until the red ink is gone. Then polish it up. It take 30 minutes. Very easy.

Thanks for the compliments.

+1, the flat black accents look perfect. Very subtle and hard to see if you don't know what you're looking for, which is awesome IMO. Very nice car inside and out, well done!
