I thought these pictures came out pretty nice. I dont know anything about photography but i think these look good enough for a magazine.

Photoshop the old beater out of the background and you're good to go. Very nice car, my friend.

I think the old beater needs to stay. It gives a comparison between crappy (nastalgic) and new (import), lol, even if that in the backround is only like 10 years older.

Fine... leave it in the background, yearning be be as beautiful....

IMO - You need some clear (or smoked) signal/marker lights - the amber lenses stand out like a sore thumb on a black car.....

There's a squirrel playing with his nuts in the trees. How did you polish your head lites?

The car looks great.
Daninski, You're nuts. You need to use your mx-3 to pick up someone to relieve some tension
I agree that smoked signals & markers would look great. It would cost $5-$7, tails included. That paint looks awesome. Did you buff it yourself?

Back seat tension relief! fold 'er down for added leg room!

Wax on, wax off. Nothing like a good hot wax to keep yer particulars particulatin. Black always looks nice buffed up it's just a biotch to keep it that way. Rims look nice. I got a great deal on some rim the other day.

I polished the headlights using some plastic polish called Plast-X i think, and a mothers powerball mini. Believe it or not the paints never been buffed. As a matter of fact ive only washed it twice since its been painted. The body shop owes me a wetsand and buff so im going to leave it to the pros. Personally I like the amber signals. I guess it gives it the "jdm" look. I just think the clear signals are played out and everyone with an import has em. The only change i want to do is candy, and/or smoke the tailights. Thanks for the compliments guys, im going to bring it in to get wetsanded and buffed and the paint should be like a mirror. Ive been busy with work and havnt had a chance to do it.

Wet sanding????? Polishing ok but sanding? In this case won't that just cause a scratchy apperance all over the car. I know they buff if they only paint part of a car to buff off the over spray. Can someone explain?

I believe they wetsand the entire car with very fine sandpaper, to remove any orange peel in the clear. Then they polish it to a shine. But i dont do this for a living, that is just my understanding of the process.

Yes. wetsand with 2000 grit, then buff with various compounds that are smoother grit (2500, 3000...) then wax. It ends up like a mirror.

the car looks great, very nice

Hey Johnjj728, do you still have that front bumper we talked about?
I don't care about the condition, as i can fix it...


thanks
