Default !Sidemoldings and paint detail...SOM WS6

I finally pulled the side moldings off my car today. Looks so much better. I also spent part of last night and this morning detailing the paint...it was in rough shape after being shipped here from Alaska. Looking much better now!


(Sorry for the slight smudge on the camera lense)





And a walkaround idle vid for fun...sorry its kind of shaky...and yes, I'm having a hell of a time getting the magnaflow tips to hang straight...

Looks very nice, SOM is one of my favorite colors.

I still can't decide whether to remove the sidemolding on my car or not though.

Yeah, I just moved here from Alaska. Car was shipped on one of those open car haulers, so it was looking ROUGH when I got my hands on it...

I've taken the side moldings off both WS6s I've owned...this SOM one, and a black one. I've yet to be disappointed in the results. Just makes the body lines look much smoother and flow better, IMO.

Man I wish I could take my molding off.... Whoever had the car before me had some paint work done to the right front fender re-cleared it and did it with the side molding still on the car....

Thanks for all the kind words. Just got my new front filler plate from Afterthoughts Auto today, and put it on tonight. No more ugly front plate! Looks so much better now.

Yep. These SOM cars have 3 different shades you see at any given time.
