Well today was the most sun i have seen over the course of two weeks, so i took that opportunity to take the car outside to see how visible the ghost lines were. So after a couple of ipa wipe downs, and 2 coats of Natty's blue, the lines were almost not visible from up close and impossible to see from a few feet away. Im very satisfied and relived, i thought it would be alot worse.

Anyway, i decided to take some final shots in the sun.







Back before


Back after


Eh why not reflection shot


Now i get to sit back and stare

Yeah, some people like my tips and some don't. I would rather have the other
SLP cme, but they are kinda expensive. I don't mind the ones i have now so i will get the other appearance mods out of the way first. Yes, i am already looking for a spare tail panel to do the Berger. Im thinking of going gloss black because that seems to be the theme that im going with.
