Finally got around to a 3-step detail... WOW what a difference. 98% of the swirl marks and almost all of the scratches are GONE. The only problem is that now the areas that need to be touched up are really noticeable.

And some pics I took because it was a gorgeous day and this looked like a nice spot. Soon to come are a GMMG exhaust with Mecham-style tips and a Raptor hood. I have no intention of lowering the car at any point in the near future, I DD this 'bird in the land of potholes and snow.

what process did you use? products? and those wheels look killer on that car for some reason

While I wish I could take credit for the detailing job, I hired a pro to handle it for me because I didn't want to risk f'ing it up. I believe he used Meguiars products. Thanks for the compliment on the wheels... I think they look great too! I really tried to pick appearance mods that weren't the same thing you see on every other Formula.

Looks great! Those wheels do look surprisingly good on the car and they def. aren't a common choice. I would tell you to clean the exhaust tips a bit but they are getting replaced so who cares.

as a formula guy i gotta say, why the 'f' did you choose the t/a rearend, not bashing just wondering why, other than that your car looks great

What a difference a little swirl cutter and an orbital buffer makes. Car looks great. metallics just "pop" with a fresh coat of shine.

It's just personal taste, I guess. I always loved my Formula but thought that the rear end just didn't look right. The T/A rear bumper seems more "finished" to me. I'm definitely keeping my low-rise spoiler and Formula front bumper, though... I definitely don't want my car to turn completely into a T/A.

Just wondering, are those replica wheels "quality A-365.2 virgin aluminum"?

It's your car, but I disagree. While certain exhaust tips look great with the T/A bumper, IMO it makes the rear of the car look very chunky. The T/A wing balances it out a bit, but with the Formula low rise, it just doesn't look right to me.

Otherwise, great detail, and the wheels look great!

Awesome looking car, although I might be a bit biased.

Hmm Im getting the same kind but they have a black powdercoat, then clearcoated, with an alum lip. They look quite different in pics, im just not a fan of that type looking all aluminum. no offense but i hope they dont look like the ones you have lol

Car looks good though

Looks great. I love NBM birds!

What kind of tires are those? Killer tread pattern.

Thanks! The tires are Nexen N3000s. They're relatively inexpensive performance-rated summer tires but I think they do a damn good job for the price.

You know what, if I had a black 'bird like yours, I'd have gone the same way. I really prefer the way black wheels look with a polished lip, but it just doesn't seem right on a blue car. Let's see some pics when you get yours!

Car looks good, I know how much it sucks sometimes spending all that time cleaning and detailing the car but after it's done it is always so worth it.

The car looks great. I've been wondering about putting a T/A bumper on mine for the longest time, but I think that the whole Formula thing is starting to grow on me.
