I think the drop looks sick and always wondered what the springs were.

Yeah, I wondered the same when I installed them. I thought I had done something wrong, went back and checked everything and they were on right. They are eibach pros, they're black and it has "eibach pro" stamped in white on the spring.

I bought them used, so maybe they were on the previous car for a lot of miles...

I recommend a new buffer.....those cheap buffers you buy at Advance, CarQuest, Napa, etc...they will not do ANY more than you can do by hand. Trust me....at least get a Porter Cable and you will be amazed.

Well I'd reccomend what I used, since it worked pretty good; which was the Meguiars Ultimate Compund, followed by Meguiars Tech 2.0 Wax to protect it. I'm sure there's better stuff out there that others can recommend... but that's what I used for this.

What are you trying to do? Take light scratches/swirl marks out?

Well your from the valley so u know how things are down here
had a guy paint my hood and did a ceta mod on my bumper
well the hood is getting dull.
went to go look for the guy and i found out he was locked up for some legal issues
(reason why i went looking for the guy is he told me if it would ever go dull he would "buff" it)
well since the guy is behind bars he cant keep his promise right?

How do you choose a good electronic buffer? How much should one cost?

You can pick up a Porter Cable 7424XP from any number of places for $140 or a little less. That should be your weapon of choice, especially just starting out.

I'm pretty sure the old wheels are the boyd's and the new wheels are RPM's I think.

Car turned out great man but just dont feel the new wheels really fit the color of the car.
