Hand waxed w/Zymol. Let's face it: I'm a pic *****. I like the first pic the best. It took about 1.5 hours to hand wax my car. I'm pretty happy with the results. You guys have any suggestions for appearance mods, or you do you think I'm pretty much done w/the outside? (it is dropped, about 1.5 inches. I need to get bigger tires next time to fill that gap)



I have pic just like this, but the car wasn't clean. I like this one better

Yea, I've been back and forth a million times. I have nothing else chrome or "bling" on my car. It's all dark and subtle. I figured a billet grille would stick out too much.

well this is my second zymol job. the first one lasted a couple weeks (about 2-3) as a daily driver parked in the sun for the majority of the day. i stripped it to do this job, but the water did bead after 3 weeks. to me "lasting" is being able to keep the car looking clean w/minimal cleaning. very hard to do w/black.

Fill in the holes or get a grill and paint it? Your car looks like it's ending the appearance mods phase! Nicely done.

what's the 4x4 mod? i'm on the fence about putting an ss hood/spoiler on it. i figure why clone something? but who knows, maybe i'll get an itch and do it.

Nice car. Lower that puppy and get the SLP bowtie grill. Leave the decal off to keep it all black. Good work.

!4x4 is lowering your car, most people refer to stock f-bodies as looking liek a 4x4, because of the gigantic fender gap.

i figured as much, but my car IS lowered. if you check out page 2 of my car domain, you'll see the before and after. and if you read the very first post it explains it.
