        Repeat until your arm is numb

        move to the next panel

          The final product actually looks quite good. The car being dropped makes the M-Tech II spoiler look even more out of place IMO, but it should look better with the "is" lip on there. Have you taken a paint meter to that car before? I couldn't tell if that looks like original paint texture or a bit too much texture. Looks good though.

Also - I haven't shot it since I dropped it and put in the is lip with the splitter. Expect more changes in the very near future.

              Tech II is sold. Trying to find a tech I as we speak. The paint appears to be all orig. It's def the orig. color and there are no signs of a repaint.

                    More importantly has the pic size been noted enough? He just got done detailing the car, the high resolution shots better show the detail of the paint.
