    Before...After...

    Before: completely stock with oxidized and faded paint.









    Currently: Shiny paint that makes water beads off :)

    Same day paint got attention:


    Day after, still has morning dew but took it for comparitive purposes:


    I had 4 or 5 people ask me if it was just repainted, one guy even asked me to pull over on the highway and made an offer on my car!! :eeek:

    Today, dirty and dusty:





    Also received some GC coilovers, Old Skool Ronal LS weaves, MHW smoked tails, euro rear plate filler, smoked euro ellips, blacked out kidneys. Looking for euro trim and iS lip - or maybe even i lip depeding on how low i go. Need to drop the front more and raise the rear a tad - but waiting on my skidplate ;)

    paint on valences and cowl need to be done still. some more plans in store... trying not to go too crazy on it!

    trying to make a nice daily to hold me over till my motor is done!

    hope you like!

        Talk about an awesome transformation...what kind of polisher did you use? Random Orbiter/Dual Action? Also what is your polish of choice?
