Damn not only is your engine bay beautiful but the exterior is very nice also! This is a perfect example of how a modded F Body should look. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

Bionik: Thanks, and I still not satisfied yet I cant get rid of this stinken mod bug <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />

WayneSS01: I bought 3m fine cut a while back from pep boys I dont know if they till carry it. If not you should be able to find it on the internet.

Your going to need about 4 hrs. to do this and some patience and a 6 pack Remember good things come slow

1. You need to apply 3m fine cut with some elbow grease. Bassically you have to rub the s#@* out of the fender. You may end up rubbing in the same 12x5 area for about 10 min. After extream rubbing you will start to see the area cleaning up ( you will notice dull spots and shiny spots). Continue in the areas that are still dull until shinny.

2. After you get all the area cleaned up you will need to bring the shine out and hide any swirls that may occur from the fine cut. I used hand glaze it can be any brand , but I like 3M. This will make the paint very deep and wet looking.

3. The last thing . You need to throw a coat of wax/ polish on it to make it last. I did'nt want to take the steps to use Ziano in here so I used some Meguiars gold wich I think worked great for this.

And thats it you will then have bling bling fenders and arm that is beat to hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope this answers your question

Stone face: So nice of you to say, but there sure are some other beautiful engine bays on the forum, but I can at least say they all are different.

I think our engine bays reflect different approches with the same goal. There are things in Todds and Bernies bays that I would love to have in mine.. Just as Im sure there are things in mine that they want. thats the beauty of this hobby and fun of sharing the ideas amongst everyone.

Here's <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" /> to us all, we make this hobby possible <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
