looks real good!!! I hate the damn rock chip issues also. I just got the front bumper of my 99 WS6 repainted cause of them, cost me 600.00!!! But it looks damn good now. The only other thing you can do is get a bra and those look like crap in my opinoin. Anyone ever tried that clear tape like stuff that goes on the paint to keep rock chips from happening?

nice work with the detail, a clay bar and a good polishing will do wonders!

oh, and rock chips suck, seems like they get worse when you lower it too

No, you did a terrible job.

Just kidding. Looks great. You're going to love those springs, too.
