Default !side molding and detail

I had Prin (username: Prin) detail my car over the weekend. I decided to remove my side since I was having it buffed anyway. He does a great job, I highly recommend him to anyone in the Huntsville, Al area.

Anyways..here's the pictures:

That's a gorgeous car. I think that's the first time I've seen C6's on a Bird. I really like the look of them.

Great looking car, love it. Do you know what he did during the detail? What processes he went through, if he clay barred all that. I'm not sure if the dealership i'm picking my T/A up from is going to thoroughly detail it or not.. Don't know whether i wanna do it myself or bring it to a detail shop.

They are 18x9.5 and 18x10.5. The tire sizes are all messed up though, they were already one the wheels when I bought them.

I'm not sure of the entire process really. If I remember correctley he clay barred, buffed, then waxed.

Thanks again for the compliments!!

Car looks spectacular. I have been kicking around the idea of removing my side molding as well. I'm just concerned that since my car had a cheap respray (before I got it) that they might not have removed them and who knows what is underneath...

What springs are you running? I saw the size of the drop listed on you fquick, but no brand. I love the stance.

I was worried about that too, but luckily it was the same haha.

They are ST springs and they suck, don't cheap out on springs like I did.

Note to everyone: get good springs lol
