dog vs detailer (my e30 photoshoot)

long story short:
1) buddies dog scratches my car BADLY
2) i kick dog (kidding)
3) i, fearing a respray, go to a detailer to see if it can be fixed without new paint
4) detailer does a damn good job
5) i do a photoshoot to capture the best my paint has ever looked

That sucks, did the detailer wheel them out or just fill them in?
Black looks so good when clean/polished.

Dang, that sucks, but it ended up in your favor sort of. Gotta tell your buddy to keep that bitch on a leash.

Hopefully u didnt have to pick up the tab on it all on your own.. (if it was expensive)

he'd better, or he will be paying for 5 hour details again.

yes, yes it is. either yours, or fuzz's, or tabasco's will work great. who wants to donate?

wheeled them out. it surprised him when he found out it was only single stage paint.

Wow, really impressed with your car. Great photos! Makes me proud to also be an owner of a schwarz car.

I really like how you did the taillights but did you make any changes to the bulbs so people can see the reverse lights during the daytime? I would do something like that but only if it didn't compromise my safety and the lights still functioned well.

Again, Good job on the car! Very clean

Looks good. Is that an MTechII rear spoiler? Your car is the first E30 I've seen that I like it on.

What's going on with the reverse lights? The black looks nice, but it doesn't light up white in reverse, does it?

[Garageaholic]

It is an M-tech II spoiler... looks damn nice.. go with 17x8 wheels man...

yup mtech II

reverse lights are still easy to see at night, not in the day though. you cant see reverse lights during the day anyhow.
