Default Buffed and waxed the WS6!!!

i got the urge to clean my car up a little bit on the outside. i did a polishing buff all the way around the car and then waxed it all. i just put the wheels on today that were on my 94 Firebird and used some chrome polish on them and got'em mounted up to the trans am. i need new tires for them though. I also painted my nostril vents to metallic silver just to spice it up a little more in the front. i am going to get my decals done 2marrow for my pontiac in the back bumper which will be chrome vinyl. the exhaust tips are going on 2marrow as well. i got the corsa clones from afterthoughts auto. Also going to start looking into a lowering kit. Let me know what you think about my baby? Sorry about all the big pictures.

Looks great so far. the rims made a big difference. and the rear will look a lot better with the corsa clones.

This car looks great, and is exactly how mine would look if a WS6 was in my possession.

I love the ram-air grille inserts, the wheels, the tint, and the wax job.

Looks good man. A clean black car looks killer, but it's a shame it only lasts a day or so...then it's dirty again...

Looking good. The tires just don't seem right, though. Looks good otherwise.
