Carlos, the car came out GREAT!

All those long phone calls between the two of us over the detail process paid off it looks like. Glad you took my advice, did what I said, and had it come out killer. I'm really happy for you.

Can't wait to gut the interior on Saturday.

And thanks to all for your opinions folks!

Yeah, hard work, but Keith aka Kman told me what to Meguiars products to use, which bonnets, and with my trusty Porter Cable I worked the FAWK out of that paint.
Porter Cables kick ***!!!

Before the Willwood front brake kit...


I love this shot!


I like how the rear valance looks in this pic, to me it flows nicely.


Fronts with the Wilwoods...

I like everything except for the rear valence and tips. It sure is a nice car though. I really like the CF grille.

Car looks great! Now stop making excuses and ditch that rear valance for the good one

Oh wait, I'm not impressed with your work, I need to see you do it to my car before I can give a good opinion
